Well this is it! We purchased this house back in March 2008. Eric and I were planning a June 28, 2008 wedding at the time. Eric wasn't really sure he wanted to buy a house just yet, but I was too eager to do so. I found this house with the help from an old friend who just happens to be a realtor. The price was just too darn good to pass up so Eric and I went for it. Needless to say there are many, many, many things that need updating in this house. The first to go were most of the floor coverings. I'm sorry, but I'm just not a big fan of greenish yellow shag carpet. Lol!




This picture isn't the best, but there it is! Isn't it lovely? And the worst part about the shag carpet is that it was in all 3 bedrooms, both bathrooms and this dining room area, as well. Somebody sure did love this stuff back in the day. So before I could move in, we had wood, tile and carpet put in. I was planning on moving into the house by the end of May and Eric would be moving in after we got married in June. Which worked out great because it gave me plenty of time to start painting. I will post some more "before" pics so you can see how much work was ahead of us when we bought this house. Here is a before pic of the kitchen and the living room.

Bedrooms and bathrooms coming soon....
