Our First House!



May 20, 2010


What a "grown up" day for Anthony and I! We closed on our first house! Yay for us!

Exactly one week after we closed, we got the keys to our house. Such a fun day! I hate that we had to wait a week but we decided to be nice and give the two guys we bought it from a few extra days to move out. Had we known that they were going to leave the house as dirty as they did, we might not have decided to be so nice!




We got the keys!







The front of the house. I love the white with black shutters :)







The front bathroom. This is going to be a big work in progress for us, but we're ready to tackle it!



The living room. When looking at the picture, the front door is to towards the left and the dining area is to the right. That door leads to the kitchen.






The master bathroom area. Lots of storage! The wall paper has got to go! It's so ugly! So nice of the guys to leave us that beautiful picture...yeah, thanks :P







Anthony in one of the corners of our master bedroom. It's SO big! Lot's of room for furniture. Too bad we don't have any! haha!



The dining area looking out into the back yard. We have a yard! Yay! At least the guys left us some nice light fixtures. I kept hitting my head on this one. You think I would have learned the first few times. It's a good thing I'm hard headed!




The kitchen. I love that it's got lots of space. The colors have got to eventually go! The stove is a ceramic cook-top. We negotiated to keep the refrigerator. It's the kind that has the freezer on the bottom.



The laundry room. It's HUGE! Along with the washer and dryer, the guys had a round bistro table and two chairs in there. Not exactly the kind of place I'd like to sit, but it looked cute. To the right of the picture is a door that leads out to the 2 car garage.



We've got a big storage shed in the backyard. That will definitely come in handy!








The backyard. There's a big trench that runs along the back. Because we're technically in a "flood zone", the yard slopes down. Not my ideal backyard but it's ours! I still love it :)






We'v got 3 beautiful rose bushes. One is yellow, one is red and the other is a dark pinkish color. We also have a white oleander. Anyone want some oleander tea? haha, just kidding!





The backyard, again. I love that we have a yard :)
