House Tour: Out Back

In case you missed it, you can find my previous house tour posts here: Appraisal, Living Room & Dining Room, Kitchen.

I'm not sure what the proper name is for the small area behind the back of the house. It's hardly a yard, but it's not quite a deck either. We'll call it "out back", until someone enlightens me.

What we found out back was a little bit of sanity. And a nice break from the disaster inside. The space is large for the city and in a surprise twist, clean. We located the "dryer" and the recently removed bump-out and window. We added them to the todo list and moved on. On a whole, it's pretty great out here and smells quite a bit better!

Take note of the presents left behind. Some planters and the house mascot that I showed you earlier. I think we'll get rid of that faceless pup...never!

For all those people who think I'm not helpful. Removing the dryer.

You thought I was joking about the face mask. I wish I could send you a whiff through the computer screen.

The second window was located to the right of the drain pipe.

Get excited for the big reveal of the second floor, coming tomorrow!

  1. I love your blog :) I have to admit... When you told me you started a blog I thought the first post I read might be about a new "endeavor", but I was thinking of a different one. Still, I'm super excited for you and Beau and your new home. I can't wait to follow along and see you both work your magic and make it look amazing!
    Can't wait to see you next month!
