THE AURORA PROJECT

In the last post I let everyone know we bought a house. Sorry it has been awhile, we have been moving and doing some prep work. Here are some pictures of what the inside looked like when we bought the house.

This is when you first walk into the house. You walk into the living room and see the opening for the dining room.

As you can see the carpet has a wonderful design...ekk.  We heard there are wood floors underneath  but have no idea of the condition. (yay!)

This is the view from the doorway of the dining room. As you look to your left you see a wonderful wallpaper reminding you of a daydream in a park in 1990... blue sky and a border with what looks like leaves that are blowing in the wind...

The view from the dining room to the living room. Don't forget that chandelier, it seems as though it may belong to the presidential library, for it is sprouting wisdom. 

Ohh the lavender room, you may feel relaxed as you are encompassed with purple walls and a purple ceiling. or you may feel like royalty... of the garden club of course.

And here is the gold faux room. It is the only room in the house that has crown molding??  Really cant think of anything to say about this room...hmm the ceilings are a peach color.

The green hallway, looks like they were thinking lavender for royalty, green for money as the pathway to gold... maybe? My favorite part is the telephone shelf. I love that feature, that is something that I am not changing. 

I love these vintage hexagon tiles. All they need are some elbow grease and a good cleaning!

 Can you believe it, maroon and yellow with those awesome blue tiles. Don't worry ladies we are changing it quickly!

Here is the super long garage, which we are hoping to turn it into a bedroom one day. What is cool about this garage, is all the old and handmade tools of the man that once lived here is still in the garage. There are even the old screens for our wooden windows.  When I opened one of the cabinets, there were glass condiments filled with mismatched screws and nails. Aww it reminds me of my grandfather's shop! I love those little things that always seem so precious. 

Lastly,  a small room added to the back of the kitchen. I have no idea what the purpose was for this room. The smell of water damage when you walk in is overwhelming.  Hopefully, I can make it into my sewing room once we figure out what the smell is.
