Its Official!!

We are big adults now! We have a house!!!!!!! I know I posted that we had an accepted offer, but now we have keys and are in the process of moving in (all our stuff is here thanks to our wonderful family, but its not all put away yet-hence still in the process). We are loving all the room-although we have a lot of stuff and it is amazing how quickly we are filling up this house (Where did we put it all in the apartment???) We love having a garage! But now have to remember to make sure and not just drive away with the garage door still open :P, and our new appliances are bringing great joy as they work sooooo much better than our junky apartment ones! We have already begun the many projects that we have lined up. First was painting....man oh man is there alot of walls to paint. Thanks to the amazing help of alot of family and friends all the wall are painted. There are quite a few touch ups that need to be done-but for the most part-no white walls :) I dont really have pictures yet just because there is just color on the walls but no decorations just yet....We have also have embarked on changing some of the flooring from the nasty vynal to tile. Thanks to our amazing brother and sister Justin and Donna, we were able to put in beautiful tile floor in the entryway and kitchen.
Here is the before.....


During



And After (mind you, i still have some more work to do in the kitchen- and the tile looks different, but it is just different lighting)


The next projects are decorating, changing the cabinets, and getting the granite countertops that I am so excited for. They should be in in a couple of weeks :) Yeah for home makeovers!!!

I do like the tile that you picked out. It looks very nice from the photos. I know what you mean about having a garage. I love my house but look forward to the day when I will have a garage to store stuff and the cars in. (sigh) One day.
