AHH!!! Steve and I own a house!! So grown up and scary!!
For those faithful many following the progress of our said house here is a bit of an update on what's going on. :)
When we got the keys on Monday, we went in and put some test paint up on the walls to decide what colour. The house had a different colour wall for almost every wall (green, pink, yellow, different type of green, white and undercoat) and we were going to change that! We started painting on Tuesday night with Melissa and Ron (such helpful painter-savy friends) and started transforming our house. Here are some fun before shots.
Living Room Before
Dining Room Before
After painting madly for 4 days (JonK and Wade giving us a massive hand on Wednesday (and being rewarded with some not so awesome Sausage Fried Rice)) we began to rip up the carpet squares and the lino underneath the carpet squares. Yucky yucky yucky-ness, but underneath - some beautiful wonderful floorboards!! :D yay!
Do you like our wonderful purple feature wall? Steve wants one in every room... I want a boredom drawing on the living room wall... Our floor boards are amazing. The floor guys came by today and sanded and gave it two coats of polish. So pretty. :)
We haven't gone in yet really. The floors were dry, but with all of the rain, they were also a bit sticky in parts. The varnish smell was also quiet overwhelming. Hopefully it will stop raining soon enough to have the windows open to get some air happening. On the whole, house having is pretty scary and all, but also fun. :) new life experiences for us! yay!
P.S. My rose bush is thriving! It's grown up so big and has put out 2 flowers! yay! :D
