Reno, this is so exciting! Many congrats & much happiness to you.

I love wide plank pine. How beautiful that will look in that home! Y'know, I've always wanted a raised ranch. I like having the living area on the upper floor. DH thinks I'm nuts...

Can't wait to see the transformation! Congratulations!

I'm so excited for you!! I can't wait to see how you transform this baby. It's always inspirational to see your photos.

Congratulations!
Wishing you the best :)
Can't wait to see the projects!

I'm so excited for you and really look forward to seeing you work your magic. The market WILL return and if you've got location, that's all you need.

The mom in me has to say....are you sure you want to have that much info 'out there'?

Hooray for you! I'll be looking forward to progress pictures, too.

I'm so happy for you, what great news; you deserve all the best of luck in this transaction and move, we will be looking forward to updates.

Congrats!

Looks like you will have a good sized kitchen to work with. Lots of counter space.

Congratulations on the house, the move and the new life. Can't wait to see what you will do: glazed cabinets with white subway tile, cherry and light granite, French country again? Oh, the possibilities! Makes me want to move to Colorodo too. We're moving (again) to one of the highest housing markets (Westchester, NY) and I am dreading the price we will pay for a fixer upper. Good luck to you and yours.

dlm2000 LOL! I'm a Realtor. I guess it's just no big deal to me, since my current house is for sale, address on display on Realtor.com, and I have strangers coming through daily. Perils of the profession, I suppose!

I have yet to sell my house, but I know it'll sell soon. It's getting shown every day.

Not yet sure the direction I'll take this one. I usually have to get in them and see what "vibe" they have. They always speak to me about what they need.

Great news, great price and great views!

You'll have the rest of it done in no time.

Congratulations Reno --
I can't wait to see the 'Afters'

Fantastic News!!

Very well done -- and yes! we'll need to see LOTS of BEFORE, DURING and of course -- AFTER photos!!! LOL!

You should start a blog to chronicle all of the changes!

Reno, you will have so much fun fixing this house up! Gosh, what a steal! I remember 'meeting' you on the kitchen forum a few years back. I think we were doing kitchens around the same time. I thought you were from Reno, Nevada. LOL!

The kitchen is very spacious. Lots of possibilities. I love the street name! It's almost as good as mine. I live on Rough and Ready Hwy.

A little paint, elbow grease and lots of love and it will be home in no time!

COngrats Reno! What a beautiful area to live in. Looking forward to all the "afters!"

It's good to see that you are moving ahead with you life!!

I'm drooling over the fun you'll have as you renovate YOUR hours. Also waiting for pics.

I agree it's a steal! And, if I can see lots of potential in it, I can't IMAGINE what's running through YOUR head! It's going to be fabulous and so fun!

Good luck with your new life and home.

Your gonna do fine with your new house. Decorating is fun but only when your happy, huh? Congrats!

I love wide plank pine as well, my favorite.

Congratulations on your new home in your old homeplace. The house looks very spacious for its square footage. I still remember the picture you posted of the paint cans strewn about your kitchen when you painted your cabinets. Looking forward to new posts.

Wow I can't believe the price and the view! It has so much potential. Congrata! You will make it a home in no time.

I remember my first home "of my own"right after my divorce. I felt on cloud nine when I signed on the dotted line! I'm so excited for you and I KNOW its going to be a gem after you get your hands on it. I can't wait to see the transformation!

Yes you 'can go home again' and we cannot wait to watch you go to work again, doin' what you do so well!! Best of luck, Reno!

It really does have tons of potential! In your hands I can only imagine how fabulous it will b. I'm looking forward to keeping up on the reno. ;~D

Is it standard practice to remove the appliances during foreclosure? If so, that's a big advantage IMO - so many homes for sale have "newly updated" kitchens (often at the suggestion of the seller's agent) and the new appliances and flooring are always cheap junk that I would pull out as soon as I moved in and would rather not pay for.

reno, congratulations!!!! That's one lucky house to be receiving the reno treatment...but you had better decide what you want to do on it *right off*, because as you know, redone remodels are cheating ;)

Bwaaaahhhhaaaaahhaa Flyleft! Oh yes. I forgot. This can have absolutely NO progression whatsoever. Just a before, and then the ultimate finished after. Silly me for forgetting the rules....

I'm voting for another magazine kitchen myself. I don't care if it takes 20 years of progression. LOL! That was cool!

Glad to see you back here, and glad you're on to a new start. I'm sure your after pics will be amazing, looking forward to them!

Congratulations! Best wishes as you make your new place home.

Found the inspiration pic I was looking for. This pic captures the feel I'll be going for.

Kitchen will have checkerboard wide plank floors, painted grayish cabinets, a wood island, and possibly wood counters. Can't WAIT to get started!

Congratulations! I'm so glad you got the house -- nice place for a fresh start. The views are great and the house will be once it experiences your magic touch. It's like a canvas waiting for the artist!

Great job, can't wait to see the changes. Love love love that checkerboard floor!

I like that kitchen! Love the windows. That old kitchen doesn't doesn't have a fighting chance with you as it's new owner! Are you going to add a wall of windows?

We ditched our sliding door in our kitchen area and I am so glad we did. Well, we ditched the breakfast nook in favor of a laundry room. You have a blank slate!

...Back to building my new wall of bookcases upstairs. Go Ikea! LOL! Our upstairs is really coming along.

Yes, golddust, I'm going to "try" to eliminate the ugly sliding door and add windows and just a regular door. Since I don't have contractor resources (yet), we'll have to see if I can pull it off. I'd really rather have my sink looking out the window, though!

I can't wait to see all the magic you work on this wonderful place! Congratulations to you, and **lifting my imaginary champagne flute in your direction** here's to the next fabulous chapter of your life! :-)
