A Peek Inside!!!


We got to see our house again today! This time it was different, cuz the people moved out. We came in while we were getting the place inspected. (By the way....passed with flying colors! No problems there!) So I took the liberty of making a video, cuz we're trying to pick colors and stuff for the inside. We are SOOOO excited about our new place.

The people left a buncha bagged up trash in the driveway though......and of course the local animals tore those things apart and strung it all across the yard. We'll see if we can work that into negotiations somehow.....the place wasn't very clean either. I'm gonna have to go through and STERILIZE the place before we move in.....although new carpet will take care of a lot.

We have so many ideas how to spice the place up! New carpets will go in BEFORE we move in. And some paint. Next on the priority list is new countertops. This will have to wait though, because it's expensive. But the ones in the house are truly disgusting!! Blue should NEVER be an okay color to put in a house. And LOOK AT THAT BLUE CARPET!! ICK! It looks like it's imported from 1975!! We'll then either stain (something DARK) or paint the cabinets. And the dining room needs a new light fixture. We want to put can lights in the house too....the overhead lighting kinda sucks. But all of these things will have to wait. Luckily....NOTHING HAS to be done right away....it's just cosmetic stuff. ..... except of course the carpet....which I already said will be out before we're in. :)

I'll post some more when we get the carpets changed out! We're very excited!

Looks like they left you a mirror on the living room wall as well. Ewww to the carpet! So glad you can change that. The countertops are not attractive, but you can get past that. Definitely some paint would help. Your kitchen cabinets are exactly the same as mine....cheap! But, paintable :)

Ok Heather...so...I wish my kitchen counters were as nice as yours! HAHA! Yucky white tile with dirty stained white grout.... so really...your countertops aren't THAT bad....actually I think my mom has the same formica in her kitchen...haha...
Cute belly by the way ;-) Congrats on the new house!

Yeah, we're gonna keep that mirror and paint it black. :) Waste not, want not!
