Tomorrow we move into our first 'own' home. Married for 7 years and we have always shared our walls with others. I must admit I'm thrilled at the idea of all our walls being JUST ours! This is our 8th move in 7 years! Crazy huh? Even crazier, we've been in this apt. for 3 years. Let me tell you our first few years of marriage were busy. So, our first real home and what did we do? Decided that being DIY'ers was our dream come true and bought a house that upon forecloser was stripped of it's interior. When I say stripped, I mean stripped, they took the cabinets from the kitchen (and appliances), the hot-water heater, the faucets, the vanity's, the sinks, the mantel, the ceiling fixtures, they took the door off the back yard shed, and even the security lights from outside. We bought a shell. But, it's our shell and it has beautiful hardwood floors and more then double the square footage of what we are living in now! It's going to be great. So, I'm going to tell you all about it. When my kids voices are all I can hear and I can't figure out if I should do aqua or apple green for the kitchen, I'm going to come on here and think out-loud for awhile. Oh, and I'll post pictures...because what fun is a DIY prodject without pictures?
Blessings!
