Well, kinda...we closed on our new-house-to-be this afternoon. We are excited to begin this journey. It will be a great location-close to JMs work and the kids schools-and a great friendly neighborhood! The house will undergo quite a transformation before we move in so I went over today to take some BEFORE pics. The kids went to see the house in May. They quickly picked out their bedrooms, but we kept telling them that things would change before we moved into the house. We are going to be adding on a master suite and a breakfast area downstairs, demolishing the current carports in the back to create a large open backyard with a pool, and then we are finishing out the upstairs area with another bedroom, bathroom and media room. Can you believe that where you see the beautiful dormer windows it is actually unfinished attic space? It is a huge area that will double the upstairs space! This should keep me busy over the next school year!!! We have been meeting with an architect over the last month. Hopefully we will have our schematic plan finished this month. Then we can move on to the next phase!
JM just looked at the posting and said I should start taking pics for the realtors because my pics make this kitchen look really good! All of you who have actually seen this house in person know just how BAD it really is!!! Tricky, tricky, tricky --leave out the other half of the kitchen where the microwave is hanging by a thread and strange walls jut out to hide the refrig! In my pics the living area even looks good. The trick is to leave out the wall where the drywall has big holes and the molding is falling down and the 70s light fixtures mounted to the wall! Ahhhh...
wow! where are you moving to?
