The things you find...

It is always exciting pulling areas of an older house apart. You never know what you might get. So here is another gem that a friend and I ran into tearing out the Built In desk and closet in the Master Bedroom.

So below what you will find is a nice piece of memorabilia from the 60's? Maybe 50's? I cannot tell for sure what era this piece of wall paper came out of but I would like to think the 50's if I had a choice.

TIMBER!!!

So this past Saturday, we took down the two trees that blocked the view of the house. We have been dying to have these two trees taken out. A friend of ours, Jeff, was dying to take this thing out .... especially when he found that this "project" was going to require a chain saw. 

Jeff is a great friend and worked so hard at getting these trees down. I could not have asked for a better helper on this. He was soo excited to see the results.

So now, with Jeff's help, the house looks very different. You can actually see it!! The neighbors that stopped by while we where in the middle of tear out literally said, "WOW!". 

Unfortunately it got too dark to take the final picture. Instead I am going  to post my favorite picture of the day.

The Office

So when we looked at this house originally, there was this office built in the garage. Talk about going back to the 50's or 60's. It was pretty nostalgic as well as a little creepy. I have posted some pictures below of before and after the tear down. We did decide to leave the cabinets that are against the outside just for storage for the time being.

Here it is Before:

All Gone!!
