The Bolton's House: The Before

Hi - it's Allison. I hijacked Cooper's blog to bring you pictures of our new home. Welcome to Lasell Street! We closed June 7th, so we're officially home owners. We'll be moving in the next couple of weeks, and are spending our next few weekends getting the house ready.

Here's our house, complete with the Camry and the Accord in the driveway. It needs a new coat of paint and some landscape work, but it's ours!




This is the view from Cooper's room upstairs into our backyard. Again, needs some landscape help, but it's a nice place to run and play.





Cooper greets you as you walk into the front door at our sunroom - a little paint, removal of old ugly rugs and light fixtures, and the addition of some plants should do the trick.

Heavy on the cheese...
So these are the before pictures. Stay tuned for the afters, though it'll be a while on the kitchen. We're removing wallpaper, painting every room, installing carpet upstairs, and getting new appliances before we move in.
Cooper will be back to post on his blog later on! Take care!
