@Kurtroedeger please don’t take this the wrong way, but I would love to see all of your house. It just looks so interesting. #notacreeper #justlikelooking 🤣🙂
@Novels56 living room view from my chair right now
Here is the fine selection of dog toys for the fuzzbutts
Entryway behind me with computer nook and kiddo.
@Novels56 please ignore the massive amount of clutter in the kitchen and dining room, and the laundry rack 😂. It has been some long weeks and .....::waves hand :: blah blah. I made the little doors below the stairs for the pantry from the same wood we used for the flooring.
Kitchen was an absolute steal for what we paid. Found factory cabinets, so not that custom markup. Tile, cabinets, counters AND appliances was $15k when we built. Backsplash is tin, easy self install, magnetic too.
@Novels56 wife wanted a curve shape or something 'not just a rectangle' to the patio, so I painted markings on the ground and it has two curves out like this. She agreed and I made sure not to point out that on aerial pic it would look like the house has boobs 🤭. And the Casita where I hide the inlaws in when they visit (which is often) 🤷♂️
@Novels56 master bedroom is on the first floor. Wife is drifting to sleep right now so not gonna go turn lights on for pics, had to dig through older ones. It's the doorway in the background of the kitchen pic, and just to the right of that door is the computer nook kiddo was at. Behind the fridge around the corner is the half bath. The vanity in there is one of my favorite things we made. Same with the old cedar shingle focal wall in the bedroom.
@Novels56 and panorama view (click to embiggen) out the front, so bedroom windows and living room just left of the chair I started this thread in. We are very spoiled with it. The backyard looks onto woods then.
If I remember I'll do upstairs tomorrow.
@Kurtroedeger Thank you for sharing. It’s such a nice view. I’m gonna sit over here and pretend not to be a bit jealous.
@Novels56 we oriented the house so the garage faces the one neighbor house on purpose. We can feel a bit more removed from it all. We know we are blessed to be able to build this here. Right now I can hear owls calling outside 😍
Fun fact. Someone was clearing a barn and gave me (FREE!) a bunch of rough sawn OLD oak. Super hard wood. That was used for the shelves to the left of the fire place, above the computer, for the floating tv stand in the bedroom, and the frame of the bed (not shown).
@Kurtroedeger you are blessed but I know you have worked hard to get what you have. Again, thank you for sharing pictures of your home.
@Novels56
It was fun, thanks for asking. Oh, just remembered, the dog bowl holder in the kitchen is scrap flooring too 😂 made use of every piece I had.
All the first floor doors are 36" wide so we can get old here and use mobility scooters just fine. Also makes moving furniture and appliances in and out.much easier. Big recommend for anyone building a house to give themselves that extra 6 inches on all the doors. Not much increase in price, but a subtle thing that just makes life easier.
@Novels56 the fire place mantle is scrap from the beams used to build the house, and scrap 2x4 material stained and layered for texture too.
