On June 30th, 2011 we bought our lakehouse. It was built in the 1960's and hadn't been updated since. I have so many plans for this house, but it's always fun looking back to see how far we've come.
In 2011, we made some bigger {more urgent} changes. Tore out all flooring, painting everything, added hardwood & carpet, painted kitchen cupboards, redid the fireplace, tore out tons of overgrown trees/bushes etc.
In 2012, we redid the entire bathroom & got new kitchen appliances.
In 2013, we installed new windows & doors, insulated the attic, replaced the soffit & fascia, and started siding the house.
In 2014, we finally purchased a table! :)
Repainted the guest room & decorated in an Iowa Hawkeye's theme.
Finished siding the house...
Added a parking area to the bottom of the drive & a retaining wall at the top of the drive...
Added a few smaller details like hooks to hang the hammock between the trees in the front yard, add a bottle opener to the tree, install a tire-swing for the kids, etc.
Installed four outdoor lights...
And hung a new kitchen light {not pictured}
A few other snapshots of the interior...
In 2015, I hope to finish the trim around the interior windows of the house & mount the TV! :)
