The pictures above are as we toured the home originally. We have been weekend warriors for a little over a month now. We (Nate) painted and I scrubbed everything from windows to electrical face plates. Some lights are installed, and the floors are steamed. Already, it is a huge difference, and I can't wait to show you. 

This weekend, Nate will finish the trim in the nursery, and we will start moving furniture pieces over. Our friends are coming over to give us a hand with the dishwasher and microwave installation. Our ultimate goal is to get our bed here, so we can start staying here. I was also promised a trip to IKEA to get a rug to cover the "God awful" tile in the family room. 

This home, as it sits, is a big blank slate. I cannot wait to get in, get composing, arranging and adding my touches to give it the character it craves. 

Home Stats:
Built in 1995
Vacant for one year
Approx. 2,200 sf
3 bedrooms, 2 .5 bath and a bonus room
We also have a secret playroom, that I have big big aspirations for this room.
The yard is as big a blank slate as the home is @ .33 acres, but I'll get to that in the Spring.

  2. Thank you, Elsa! I am getting very anxious now. More pictures to come. The house is huge, I agree. Hopefully, we'll never move again, even when we add to the family!
