Proud owner of a 1960's ranch

Yes, we bought a funky outdated ranch. Funny it turned out this way too. Early on during our search we came across this one story, hulk green siding, cast of bambi on front lawn house and I immediately laughed. We took a tour of it due to the prime location, large size, and lower than appraised price. Again, I wasn't having it. Halfway through I wanted to rush home and remove the remastered Bambi dvd from my Disney collectables display. Obviously, not a great first impression.

After looking for a while and realizing our preferred style of home just wasn't a realistic or smart option, we came back for a second look at the jolly green giant upon Mandy's request. Second time around I began to see the potential Mandy saw all along. A good size house in need of some cosmetic updating going for less then what it's worth. Time to turn stank to bank.

Some pics of a few rooms empty and temporarily moved into. More to come as the transformation begins.
