The Long Awaited House!!

Built in 1946. Captured our hearts in 2010.

You know that saying "We came, we saw, we conquered" ? Yeah, it was kind of like that. But not.

This house was one we had seen on the market for a long while, but were distracted by other more *appealing* homes. Meaning, they had curb appeal and then you go see it and is surrounded by junkers. And when the house we initially wanted sold, we figured "Eh, its worth a look!" Little did we know that certain features would sell us instantly... Like only a 20 minute drive to work when we estimated we'd drive a full 45-60 minutes to obtain a house on nice property.

We sat in the car waiting for his agent and Handsome turns to me and says, "Do you think you could live here for the rest of your life?"

*Inside Squeel!* Nothing makes a girl happier than to know your man is really thinking about the rest of his life... with you.

After Nichole (agent) arrived, it only took us 20 minutes to fall in love with the house. Handsome scowered the house, practically sprinting from room to room. He was kind of making me laugh because I simply could not keep up with the man! I took pictures. Because we all know that pictures on real estate websites can be deceiving and just show the pretty parts of the house.

Although these pictures are not much and definitely don't have my things in it, the house has a certain potential. Nothing absolutely needs immediate attention, but there is lots that could be done. So much potential. :) Its like a kid with a gift of playing piano. Just give the house a piano and make it play for hours on end. Except the piano is us and we will play the house! Ha!

Front room- It has an old fireplace behind that back wall that we may re-install at some point.

Dining Room- Just needs paint.

Kitchen-Needs much work (in my eyes...)

Master bedroom-Needs a major paint job.

Guest bedroom- This house is so... WHITE

Bathroom- This pic looks nicer than it actually is. We want to put a large bathtub in it as well as a walk in shower.

Pic of the property. These stalls will become Kennels for the dog(s).



Home sweet home. :)

 So many plans for our home. Can't wait to start working on this. Closing date is January 17th and we will be moving on Patrick's birthday, January 20th. :) Any and all help/company is welcome!
