California Here We Come

We are finally moving back to California!!  The purpose of this little blog is to record that process and make the transition from big city existance to small town living.  Our new home will be in Fowler, CA.  Last year (July 2010) we purchased a darling little 1964 bungalow.  For the past year we have had a renter in the house.  Well, we decided it was time to come home! 

This is where we will call home!  So cute. The house is livable but we are planning on changing the carpet and replacing with wood laminate flooring.  The rest we can do once we are moved in and living here. The house has real charm and a homey warm feel to it.

The kitchen has some terrible wallpaper but that is easy to fix.  At first I thought we should replace the cabinets but the more I looked at this picture the more I liked the little gingerbread additions to the bottom of the cabinet above the refrigerator.  There is the same cute gingergread trim above the kitchen sink.  On the other side of the wall behind the fridge is the laundry room and the door from there leads out onto the covered patio.

This picture is a little fuzzy but you can get an idea of the patio.  The door towards the center of the picture leads to the laundry room.  The part of the house to the left that juts out is the master bathroom.  It also has a door that leads onto the patio.  The building that you can see at the left of the picture is the garage. 

The garage is huge!  The roll up garage door is twenty feet wide.  I think that my scrapbooking and crafting will take place out here.  I am going to have to share my space with Dewaynes wood working.

This is a view of the living room looking from the kitchen.  The far left door is the coat closet and the door next to it is the front door.  The mail slot is in the coat closet!!
