My New House Tour: Interior Photos

December 21, 2015 · By Diane Henkler · 67 Comments

Last week I shared the exterior “before shots” of my “new-to-me” house in South Carolina. Thank you so much for all the comments you left me.  XO  They made me feel so much better and brightened my spirits and energy after having to deal with Shingles!  I have read each and every one of them, but I am a little behind in responding since I was out of commission for a while and am now trying to get unpacked, settled and some Christmas shopping done.

Today, I am posting the interior photos of my house on Lake Murray.

The house was built in 1974 and is 2700 square feet. It has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. It has plenty of closet space and walk-in attic storage, which I love!  The house is in good shape, it just needs lots of updating in the way of a new fixtures, lighting in all rooms, flooring, lots of paint and a new kitchen and 2 new bathrooms. The master bathroom was recently redone and we like it so one less room to have to take on.

When you enter the house from the street side you come through double front doors and land in a two-story foyer. This is the only room, besides the master bath that doesn’t have a water view.

Foyer

This is looking into the foyer from the hallway to the master bedroom.  I will be removing the carpet on the staircase and painting the risers and balusters white.  My daughters are coming this week for the holidays so I tried to do a little Christmas decorating. See the sideboard that used to be in the foyer of my previous house?  I used the same decorations I showed you last month. No mirror behind it, but everything else is the same.  Trax the cat is enjoying having a new place to explore.

At the far point in the photo is a view into my studioffice. It has a pocket door so I can easily close it off when I make a creative mess.

View-of-foyer-from-kitchen-hallway

This is the view of the foyer from the hallway to the kitchen.  I love the brick floor. I hung the mirror that used to be above the sideboard in my foyer on the far wall, minus the top section that broke in the move.  The yellow room in the distance is the master bedroom.

View-of-foyer-from-master-bedroom

I would like to replace the exterior doors with 3/4 glass doors that will bring in more light. On each side of the doors are glass windows that are the same height as the doors.

before kitchen photos

The kitchen is functional and even though it is small, has a lot of storage.  We love the floor, but will be gutting the kitchen since it is dark, worn and dated.

Kitchen-range-counter

Popcorn ceilings in every room. They are nice and white, but not sure what we will do about them yet.  ;-)

kitchen-seating-area

This view is of the seating area in the kitchen taken from the living room. We would like to make this doorway much wider to create a more open feel between the rooms.

kitchen-view

This is taken from the back of the kitchen looking out to the water.

view-of-kitchen-from-garage-hallway

I don’t like this wall of cabinets at all. It blocks the visual flow. Will be glad to see it go when we redo the kitchen.

Living room before

This is the living room. I will be removing the brown wood shelves on the brick wall and making a mantel around the fireplace. I am pretty sure I will be painting the brick white. Same for the walls.

Every room has a brown ceiling fan. I will be replacing them all with white fixtures. This is the south and it does get hot, hot, hot here in the summer. These fans are a necessity, especially for a windows-open-in-the-summer-fresh-air-loving girl like me.

master bedroom before

The master bedroom has “His and Her” walk-in closets. Here is Ed’s…

Master-bedroom-closet-2

…and mine.  I can’t even fill this chest of drawers.

master-bedroom-closet-3

But have filled the shelves and rods with my clothes.

master-bedroom

The master bedroom is a long room.  I will be painting it a light blue soon.

master-bedroom-office

The area near the sliding door will be Ed’s office.

master-bedroom-view

Draperies are needed for sun control and these are very nice, but I will be replacing them with something lighter.

I realized I didn’t get any photos of the master bathroom. The following two are from the real estate listing, but will give you an idea of what the room looks like.

Master-bath

Glass enclosed marble shower.

master bath

Grey vanity and white, grey and brown granite countertop.  These photos make it look dark, but it is a light and bright room.

studioffice before

This is the room in which I am creating my studioffice in. It is right off the kitchen. Ed has already removed the carpet and laid a vinyl plank floor. Our first DIY in the house. I will be posting about it once the holidays are over.

laundry room before

The laundry area is off the kitchen in the hallway that leads to a two-car garage and workshop.

laundry-room

I already removed the bar that the previous owner used for drying clothes.

powder-room-2

Across the hall from the laundry is a powder room.

powder-room

It needs updating all around. :-)

house before photos

Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and one full bath. Each has access to an upper deck with seating for stellar lake viewing. This is bedroom #1.

bedroom-2

Bedroom #2.

game-fitness-room

Bedroom #3 came with a pool table. We will be moving it to the back of the room and keeping it at least for awhile to see if we use it.  I plan to turn the front part of the room into a fitness room. There are three big closets in the room that we are filling up fast!

upstairs-bath-2

The upstairs bath is light, bright and functional, but updating is needed.

upstairs-bath

Thats it for now. I hope you enjoyed the tour. I will post a lot more photos of the house and my plans for it after the holidays.

So far we have been enjoying the area and have been out exploring on the boat when we had the warm temps over the holidays. Do you have any favorite places we should check out?

    Diane, so excited to see your 12/21/15 post on this New Year’s Eve after having just returned from our annual trip from Connecticut to Michigan to see our grown-up kids and two grandchildren. Unfortunately, our daughter, Jessica, and her new husband were unable to travel from St. Louis to Michigan because they both work for MDOT and had to work because of the flooding.

    Love your new home and can definitely see why you want to update some of the rooms within, like the kitchen. However, the view of your deck and the water outside your sliding glass door makes up for what your kitchen lacks with its worn cupboards, especially the one that blocks the view from the room next to it. Your first floor master bedroom ensures that you and Ed can live in this waterside home forever, and the master bath is breathtaking. When I saw the living room fireplace, my first reaction was “paint it white,” and that’s the next thing you said.

    The hardwood floors and the brick entry are unique and beautiful. The fact that you’ll be able to have your very own first floor studio is another dream come true. I’m so looking forward, Diane, to see how you’ll address the “popcorn ceilings?” In my home, those popcorn ceiling were white as white could be, and the rest of our home was lovely, but over the years, I’ve found that not only do those ceilings become uncleanable, but they also lose whatever small integrity they might have had and begin to disintegrate in strips, not to mention the detritus upon your head, furniture, and flooring when trying to clean cobwebs. A vacuum, a broom, nor even a feather duster, since it’s more likely the feathers stick to the ceiling along with the cobwebs, work to clean the ceilings. What’s left is to repaint the ceilings, adhering the cobwebs and feathers to become a new layer to their already unattractive texture.

    I can’t wait to see how you and Ed decide to address your very own popcorn ceilings. I’m trying to convince my husband, Scott, that the best and most economical way is to use wood planking. I see it more and more in shelter magazines and Pinterest. What do you think? (A rhetorical question, actually).

    I’ve enjoyed your blog since I first discovered it, so I’d continue following it even if you hadn’t made your move to North Carolina. I must say, however, your having taken the leap of moving into your new/old house has me excited to follow you for the next few years, or longer, to see how you adapt it to “In My Own Style.”

    Diane, You are now in my neck of the woods, so to speak. I live in the Upstate area of SC and lived on our county lake for 19 years. We bought a newer, one story house in 2013. I just LOVE your blog and your great eye for the cutest, money-saving ideas!! I so look forward to what all you do in your new home! I have “stolen” several of your ideas:)

    Best wishes for the New Year and I can’t wait to see what you do to this house!

    Oh Diane, what a lovely home, I know you and Ed are going to be so happy there. The lake views from all of the bedrooms are spectacular as well as the view from the kitchen. My daughter has a lake home. There first thing she did when she moved in was to give all of the rooms a fresh a bright white or light blue coat of paint. When the sun reflects off of the lake, the rooms are aglow. I know with you creativity, this house is going to be a show piece when you are finished with it. How fortunate you were to find such a fabulous new home. Hope you are feeling better, take good care of yourself.

Yes it is hot, hot, hot in the summer but it is also humid, humid, humid – you will definitely want those ceiling fans! I’m glad you have recovered from the Shingles.

    When we bought our home, the previous owners had “modernized” an 1840 home with popcorn ceilings in every room. The easiest way to remove them is to get a wallpaper steamer. My husband held steamer in place for about 1 minute, then I came behind him with a wall paper scraper. It took 2 days to do a 20 x 20 room, but it was worth the time. I would recommend using a dust mask. Good Luck!!

    I’m a relative new comer to your blog, and wish to say welcome to the sunny (and humid) South. I notice that you mention how you love windows-open-and-fresh-air…well enjoy it now. If you’ve not spent an entire summer in the South, those months are for keeping the windows shut tightly and the AC on high. ~giggles~ I do love your new lake place, and look forward to the up-dating.

    Also, I had shingles about three years ago, so I definitely ‘feel your pain.’ Ouch. Take care and Merry Christmas from your fellow southerner in Alabama.

    Love seeing your new home! It’s really going to be pretty with your touch, right next to such stunning views.

    Of course photos can’t really show all the really nitty-gritty of things, but when I looked at the kitchen and bath photos, I thought “Those cabinets look sturdy. Why not just paint them rather than completely gut the kitchen? It would save them from the landfill. Change up the hardware, sink and appliances (if needed) and it could look like a whole new room.” I too agree the wall in the kitchen should come down for better visual sight lines all throughout the room, however.

    But heck if you’ve got the budget to completely gut the kitchen, I’m sure we’ll all be very excited to see your wonderful work in that room as well as the entire house!

    What a fun journey. We’re all eager to see it come together :-D

I cannot wait to see if you actually do open those sliders and windows in July and August….the humidity can make the heat unbearable. Of course, when it becomes that warm, you can always go enjoy a swim or boat ride on the lake-lucky you! Happy Holidays to you and Ed as you enter this new adventure. Glad you are feeling better as well.

    It’s a beautiful house already and we all can’t wait to see what you do with it. I wasn’t expecting it to be so large – I thought you were downsizing but I guess living on water, you will have lots of company. :) Keep posting – we all are living vicariously through you and your new home.

    This is going to be soooo much fun getting your updates on the progress of your remodeling. I wish I was there to help you out. I love to paint and I love to shop. We could do so much damage to your credit card. I love all the possibilities. If’s anything you want. What could be better. Love, love, love the views of the lake. For a while I lived in a state with hardly any water and didn’t realize how much I missed it until we moved to Kauai and had a whole ocean!!!! Merry Christmas and best wishes for a fabulous 2016.

    The place obviously has a ton of potential – no wonder you chose it… I love that stairway and your wood floors and walk-in closets … The house seems cozy; even though it’s dated, it shows that it was well cared for… Really love that entrance…. Congrats on your new home :)

    Merry Christmas!
