I love my house! I never wanted an older home until we looked at this one. While we were house hunting Carson and I were truly divided on what we were looking for. I wanted new and modern he wanted old and distinguished with "character." We absolutely could not agree on anything we had seen.
One afternoon we decided that since we had increased our limit on distance from work, we would come out and look at this house. When we walked around looking at all the crazy painted rooms, we could both see what potential this house had. Since moving here in February 2007 we have painted, painted and painted some more, or should I say - I have painted. When we moved in the dining room was school bus yellow, one bedroom was orange, one navy blue and the other purple. Now the dinning room is aqua blue, and the bedrooms are shades of green and yellow.
Our next project for this fall is the kitchen. Nothing major just a "freshen up". Painting the cabinets and door pulls. Of course I do procrastinate so it become a winter job...
