Our New Home - Part I

Welcome to our New Home! Part I

Okay. I admit. It's not the cutest house on the block. But when a four bedroom home in our price range came onto the market, Eric and I jumped. I emailed our agent, agreed to meet the next afternoon and within fifteen minutes, we started the offer proceedings. A few days later (and a few emails, phone calls, offers and counters), we had a contract. On July 29th, 2013, it became ours.

But this house wasn't (and still isn't) nice. If you've known us for any length of time, you know that this is our favorite type of house: cheap and dilapidated with good bones. 

First, I'll give you a tour, then I'll try to document our progress.

Master Bedroom:

From the Living room: Master to the left, laundry room on the right.

   

You can tell where the bed used to be!

   
And yes, that was carpet. We thought it was sub-floor at first. The smell  was...interesting.

It does have a nice ceiling  - the extra height makes the room feel larger.

Master Bathroom:

   

It has a huge soaker-tub...

 
and a separate shower.

The Laundry Room:

It's actually a very nice space!
