Hickory House Before

As promised from last week I wanted to share some of the before pictures of our new/old 1938 tudor style home with you to share our journey of our #hickoryhouse and our very own fixer upper! Today I’m just going to show the main level before pictures with you as that’s what we’ve been focusing on first before we move on to anywhere else.

I love the front of of our house with the blue accents! And you might have already seen the yellow mums that I’ve added on instagram here

We have a great big corner lot with a bunch of big old trees that I’m looking forward to seeing in each season.

This is what you see when you walk in from our front door, this will be our main floor living area where I see us spending the majority of our time.

Here is where you enter in from the living to the dining, you can also see the condition of the wood floors which are original and in pretty great condition. They are staying and are all throughout the main floor!! Score, and huge budget saver.

That door that is open on the right leads up to the future master bedroom-more on that later. Then you enter into the kitchen here and I am hoping to take down this wall to open the kitchen up to the dining as well.

I have quite a few plans for this kitchen, these before pictures make it look better than it is. The cabinets I believe to be the original and they kept the boxes but replaced the doors with less than amazing doors so those are all coming out and I’m going to break up this appliance cluster move them throughout the kitchen.

I do however like what they did back here with what used to be the eat in breakfast nook and will use this as our butler’s pantry and put the fridge back here also with other small appliances.

Here’s another view looking backing at that current appliance situation.

Here’s the future fridge wall.

This is one of the main floor bedrooms which is a great size.

Hallway with a decent sized bath

Main floor bed #2 which serves as the EverydayMrs office!

We have already made so much progress on the main floor you might have seen a few sneak peeks of the before and afters on instagram already I can’t wait to show you more. You may see a couple glimpses on my #fallhometour I will be sharing with you next week on the blog! I’ll be MIA the end of this week as I’ll be on the #farmfoodtour at the end of this week with Kansas Farm Bureau, be sure to follow along with me on instagram and twitter.
