the ultimate house tour

In the years I’ve had this blog I’ve never done a house tour.  Something about showing every angle of our home with the world wide web seemed a wee bit too personal for me.  But our time in this house has come to a close and I am anxious for a “SOLD” sign in the yard.  So in an effort to spread the love for our house…I’m going to show you every nook and cranny :)  So grab a drink and a snack cause there’s just a few pictures to share!

Here’s the ‘ol Cooper Casa…with brand new siding, a new roof, new stone, new foundation paint, and new fixtures.  We are still waiting on a few sets of shutters to be installed (we’ve added the shutters on the two bottom windows since these pictures was taken).  I’ll try to point out things that have been changed since we moved in.  And please note…I did not take ANY of these photos!  Our realtor has a photographer who does all the listing images!  Some of the colors seem “off” to me but I’m sure that is the nature of working with multiple areas to photograph.

We’ve been here 4 1/2 years and there isn’t a room that hasn’t been touched.  We’ve added 3 new spaces (attic playroom, guest bedroom, craft room} since moving in and renovated nearly ever room…ripped out wallpaper and odd built-in features….painted…switched out hardware and doorknobs….decorated…replaced, etc.  It has been a fun adventure.  And of course now that it is finally complete…we are MOVING!
