The Master Bath

Our little master bathroom had gross carpet and an old vanity that we didn't care for when we bought the house.  I don't have a "before" photo.  It did have a cool shower with seafoam green tile, which we kept.

Dan ripped up the carpet and repaired part of the subfloor shortly after we moved in.  He designed a floor with black and white mosiac tiles and a local tile artisan installed it.  We got a vanity and wall cabinet from Ikea, and a Toto too :  ) Here are two "after" pics.

Some "Before" Photos

Viewing into Living Room from Dining Room

From Dining Room -- sliding glass door to kitchen (I kid you not) and view to old kitchen

These are photos from the real estate webpage when the house was on the market in June 2013.

The original kitchen, later remodeled to include an indoor charcoal grill!

The "new" kitchen, circa 1970

Our Oxford Ranchburger

 Over the years Dan and I have referred to ranch houses as "ranchburgers", assuming that WE would never own one. Well, now we do.  This blog will tell the story of how we make this old ranchburger our own.
