Finally Purchased a House

[AODfan]

Well, my Wife and I finally purchased our first home, it is a 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath, 2 Car garage, about 1700 sq feet, and has vaulted ceilings in both the living room and master bedroom, his and hers walk in closets, and stone fireplace with a mantle that goes all the way to the ceiling.

So far we have not moved in, but are adding our touches to it first, the previous owners has odd tastes in color, had to remove some wallpaper from the kitchen and entry to add texture, we should be done by tomorrow with the paint, and be able to actually move in.

The garage work will come in the later weeks
But for now enjoy the pics....


The Protege finally has a home.

Here is some work we have gotten done so far:

Got the living room primered couple of days ago, couple of my friends decided to , from what they said a "Blue Angels" technique

Afterwards we decided to have at it and wack at each other with the extension poles

My Wife likes the Spicy MSPs, so I took one of my GTSPEC parts(Closest thing I had) to Lowes and had them match it, they had some glitter packs that were added.

Theres my wifes Dad getting at it

Getting the Master bedroom done.

And there I am acting like an idiot

Tomorrow, the rest of the house...ha ha ha...hmmm

Well, we didnt get done as much as we had hoped, the appliances arrived, and had to run around town a bit today. The kitchen walls are textured now, so waiting on that to dry.

The new appliances:

Removed the UGLY kitchen lighting and going to replace with some track lighting, more work added to the table.

I get something out of this though, the lighting from here is going in the garage

Hall is done

The Office is painted.

Master Bedroom is done.

And the spare and the spare bedroom as well.
