finished basement that will one day become the "man cave" or some other catchy name.
one of our out-of-date bathrooms that needs new flooring, wallpaper removed, painted, new toilet, etc.
yes, that is lime green shag carpet!
here's the prettiest view of the house. we can touch up the inside, but the brick was a big plus for us!
more pics will come later as the remodel progresses....

What a nice house! I am so excited for you guys!
Love the house, looks like fun. But son, you cannot put your address out there on the internet. There are crazy people in this world and that is a little too much info with all the other personal stuff you post.
Love,
Your slightly paranoid sister :)
i took off the address. is that better?
someone can find my address if they want it, but i understand what you're saying.
love,
your slightly naive brother :)
I really like the house - can't wait to see all the changes. Are you planning on keeping the green shag carpet? Very retro.:) Very happy for you two....I would send money for a house warming gift, but I don't know your address:~ Emmy
Brooke, my calves were SOOOOO sore on Monday!! I haven't done that much climbing in years!!! Your house has so much potential and I know you guys will have a grand time 'fixing it up'! You have so much space that you may have to get walkie-talkies to find each other!!! We are excited for you and hope you can 'settle in' soon, so it will feel like home!

Anyways... that got a laugh from me! When you start to remove the wallpaper - I hear the best thing to try is really warm water and white vinegar... I heard about this after we did ours from another blogger... We also got so tired of pulling (because our walls weren't sized before time) that we mudded over the seams of the last room (only the lower half of the walls were papered). Good luck!

My husband Chris immediately noticed that you have a stripper pole in your basement/man cave. Enjoy!!!
