Our first home on Moseley Drive

I promised pictures of my old house so thought I would share a little history as well.

Years ago (1999) my husband and I were living in an apartment, married for 2 years and ready to buy a house. We looked at a little foreclosure and fell in love with it and the price! It wasn't very pretty to look at then but we saw potential.(My Mother-in-law and I CUT the front yard ourselves while the guys were working on other stuff! We had to hold a push mower down and cut little bits at a time.)

House after grass was cut and we could see the front of the house.

We put hours and hours of work into our first little house. We painted the shutters and front door black, ripped out the bushes and added some landscaping.


The best thing about the house were the hardwood floors which had been refinished the year before we bought the house. There was also a full unfinished basement which my husband and his father finished over time, adding another bathroom and finishing the laundry room.

For years we put many hours of sweat equity into the house. We built a deck, updated the bathroom, added bead board to the living room, did a small kitchen renovation, etc. We have thoroughly enjoyed this little house and I will be a tad bit sad to leave our very first home!
Here it is in 2001

Here is what the house looks like these days...

This is what the kitchen looked like when we bought it...
at the time we just painted the cabinets...
bedrooms, all complete with borders...
bathroom with it's original yellow tile walls, floor and counter top...

Join me over the next week as I take you on a tour of the Moseley Drive house.
