Ok, so I haven't remembered to get a picture of the outside yet so that will have to come later. But here are some pictures of the inside. These are the pictures of the eat-in area, the kitchen, and into the den. As you can see we have a lot of paneling to address. There is an entrance from the car port into the eat-in area, and the curtains you see in the den picture are a sliding glass door that leads out onto a raised deck. Ignore the mess....

I've seen some wood paneling simply painted white that I thought looked pretty cute, and lightened things up a lot. Might be an easy, quick fix, even if you ultimately want to pull it out. Of course, another friend had paneling that was glued to the wall so well that they couldn't remove it, and she actually painstakingly filled in every groove and sanded it out and then painted, so that you'd never know there was paneling there. Then again, she's crazy like that!
I think your house is GREAT! I love the fireplace and the sliding doors. I like ovens that are like that in the wall, probably b/c my aunt has one, and it just reminds me of family dinners at her house w/ everyone. :)
That is nice to have an enterance into the house right from the carport.. I really would love to have a 2 car garage or a carport of some sort... I hate wintery/rainy/snowy/cold weather and having to haul 3 kids and whatever else, like groceries from the truck to the house when it is in the driveway. ;S oh well. one day I will have my own house and maybe then I can have a garage. ;)
Thanks for sharing the pictures! It is very darling... I'm sure you guys are happy to be there! Looking forward to seeing some more pics of it. :)

We are planning on painting the paneling but apparently it is a smelly processe because you first have to remove the finish, then Kilts it, and then you can paint it. We recently made a to-do list for the house and somehow painting is pretty low on the list.
Painting paneling is definately more work then regular painting, but doable and faster in the long run I would say then pulling it out (I have a friend who's doing that after 20 years). I have heard you need to treat the knots in the wood or they'll absorb a lot of paint or come back through the paint. I can't remember with what though.
As for stuff everywhere, that just takes time to address and you don't have alot of that right now! Hope things are going smoothly.
