This Old House

Today we closed on our first home. It is a total fixer upper. The same family lived there since it was built in 1942 and it looks like little updates have been done since the 60s.
Here is our journey as we gut the kitchen, redo the bathrooms, strip wallpaper, remove shag carpet and make it all our own.
Front view

part of the yard--way too many overgrown bushes
In the dining room looking towards the living room
(that is leftover wallpaper paste all over the walls--the second we closed we went over the the house and started taking down wallpaper)
Yes that is faux brick and wood paneling--but that whole wall is coming down to open the dining room to the kitchen.
Yes the kitchen is getting fully gutted- goes out to the sunroom
Guest bedroom (once again wallpaper paste on the walls)
Main floor bathroom- total gut job
I forgot to take pictures of the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom, those are just as covered in wallpaper as the downstairs.
Show you more progress pics along the way!
