Closing day!

Our new home!

Closing day is finally here!

We're finally homeowners!

We did it!

We had a picnic dinner in candlelight and our gas fireplace in our new home!



We're finally homeowners and can relax...

A work in progress

It took 4 weeks to complete one coat of paint! It feels great to drive home and see our work as we pull in the driveway.

Our new home with one coat of paint! The trim on the dormers and sides have now been painted white, which makes it look even better! We spent 4 weeks working on the house before our closing, so it was nice when closing day actually happened and we became homeowners for the house we've put so much work into already!

It's amazing what one coat of paint can do!

The front of the garage and side of the roof painted.

The side of the garage.

The side of the house with one coat of paint. This is before the trim was painted white, which makes it look even better.

Our huge back deck

The back of the house. The only part with vinyl siding.

The front room with a gas fireplace. It will be our reading room with all of our bookshelves and comfortable chairs; a place to relax!

Our kitchen

The downstairs bathroom

Our bedroom for now, while we work on the upstairs. We have a few different ideas for what we want this room to eventually be.

The living room/ family room (none of the furniture in the picture is ours).

The dining room (none of this furniture is ours either).

The upstairs bathroom, which we will eventually put a shower/tub in.

Master bedroom

Bedroom 2

Bedroom 3

Attic space

Basement, which we plan to eventually finish.
