We got keys to our new house the last Wednesday of February!!! Talk about a stressful process...Everything went completely smooth until the very end. We signed papers on Friday, February 20th. I saw the house in person for the first time the next day...I know, sounds crazy, but the market is ridiculously competitive down here and I have an amazing husband that I trust with all my heart! We were hoping for keys late Monday, but that didn't happen. Tuesday rolled around and they decided to argue over whether the house was in Sacramento or Rancho Cordova so no keys on Tuesday. Then finally, hallelujah, Wednesday evening rolled around and they submitted our paperwork 7 minutes before that day's deadline! Woohoo! This house is no gem, it needs a ton of cosmetic work and has a few deeper issues but I love it! It has a fantastic layout and we have done a ton of work in the last 6 1/2 weeks. Here are some before and after pics so you can get a feel for what we've been doing! (Keep in mind there is still a ton of work to be done...)
living room...
gross nasty high gloss tile...GONE!
the office/spare room
this is still our office....we put these wood laminate floors throughout the whole house (except the kitchen and bathrooms)
the front bathroom has black and white tile that looked kind of retro so we ripped out the disgusting vanity and installed this cute one instead....I did the plumbing all by myself!
Our yard is filled with Calla lillies so I have been enjoying huge bouquets of them in my kitchen!
We are getting new cabinets that I am going to sand and paint white to open up the space a bit more, but here is what our kitchen looks like for now.
