We bought our first house! I was so excited. My husband, not so much! After looking at what seemed to be an endless string of houses, both good and scary, we (I should be saying I) picked a house!
After much discussion, Jeff gave in to plea and we bought a "fixer upper." I want to start by sharing what the house looked like on the day we moved in. Let me just say, it does not look even half as bad as it really was!!!
Walking in to the house from the front door, you see this
You turn back to the door and see
And now for the kitchen
The porch/living room
"Master" (if you can call it that) Bedroom
Jeff's office
Spare bedroom (I believe some child had many nightmares in this room)
And finally, the Bathroom
GROSS!!!!!
I am so excited to transform this house into something I am not embarrassed to show! We started by cleaning EVERYTHING!!! Including taking out all carpets (we were overjoyed to find that there were hardwood floors under all of the carpet, except in the porch/living room) and appliances and putting them directly into a dumpster! Jeff rented an orbital sander and took to the floors! We slept in the porch until they were ready to be walked on. Next step: Painting! We painted all of the walls in whatever color paint was a clearance mis-tint just to get SOMETHING on the walls that was not filth! Once we got that out of the way, the fun could begin!!!
