Now that, is a kitchen.

Day two in Vegas, day two of 'before' pictures of our house.

Enjoy!
Oh, the bathrooms. They are so silly.
Project 5: Gut the bathrooms
They're definitely usable, but just need some...help. 

Now, my favorite part (and the reason we bought the house) the AMAZING KTICHEN/LIVING ROOM COMBO.
Look at how awesome that is! Look at all those counters! Look at the built-in china cabinet!
Look at that hood.





Yeah, that hood.
Imagine it with an awesome coat of paint, some stainless steel counter tops...mmmm.
Yeah, awesome. 

In effort to be the coolest people on the planet, we are also putting in a beer-tapping system in this island.
See where that grill is?

Yeah, it's about perfect size for a kegerator. And has the electrical hook up all ready.
We just need to...umm...clean it.

The cabinets also have some awesome detail to them.
We're planning on refinishing (new hardware and a nice coat of white paint) all the cabinets.
This will turn into open shelving. EEE!!

Also, I am positive that this house was the bees knees in 1975 when it was built.
It has crazy amounts of built in appliances, like this blender motor
(there is about 50000 attachments to this, probs all the rage.)

And if you turn around, this is the living room. Right off the kitchen.
This is full of awesome. 

And now, as promised, our death trap.

This little deck almost cost us closing on the house. Why? Because it's that deadly.

Now this may look unsuspecting, but there is no support beam under this portion of the deck.


Here's Ben being really brave.
Actually, if we're keeping score, I'm the brave one.
I was standing on the area of the deck without the support beam to take this picture...
 Now, we know that this deck is totally unsafe, and could collapse if a racoon jumped on it, but we're not quite ready to demolish and rebuild yet. This is the area of our house we want to shine, and we're taking our time to design the perfect space for us.

So for now, this will serve as your warning, if you come to our house--don't jump on the deck.
