This is the very first post to Clover House! I'm excited to say that back in March Clover House was purchased in all its 1980's glory! We have big dreams of bringing her into modern times. She is a 1983 brick home consisting of 1548 square feet sitting on a little over an acre of earth and chocked full of DIY projects.
Here are just a few of her 1980 features:
- Popcorn Ceilings
- Baby Blue Toilet
- Swirly Blue Faux Marble Vanities
- Curling Linoleum Floors
- Multi-Blue Colored Carpets
- Harvest Gold Appliances
- Harvest Gold Kitchen Sink
- Lots of Wood Paneling
- Green Floral Wall Paper

It doesn't have to be done all at once. It is a slow process in the works! C-ya next time!
What great bones and some awesome challenges! Can't wait to see the "afters". I'm sure you'll do an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am so very excited for you. When you told me you bought a "fixer-upper", I had all kinds of things imagined, but this looks like a great house from the outside! What a great lot it sits on. From your description of the inside, it sounds like lots of updating needs to happen. . .The previous owners sound like they sure liked blue! LOL And I certainly remember the "harvest gold" appliances. You've got your work cut out for you, but I know you will do a beautiful job with it. Can't wait to see the progress. I used to (in my very younger days) refurbish old Victorian homes. I lived in a house that had 6 fireplaces! It was a beauty. We stripped wallpaper (10-12 layers!), plaster repair, etc. etc. I'm very proud of you DeeDee! And I certainly wish you the best of luck. Best, Curt
