Come Roam Through Our Home!

We finally closed on our house this past weekend! We got our keys on Saturday and then spent the weekend working on the house. A few of the rooms were new surprises, as we had only been in the house about 15 minutes with our realtor and forgot what a lot of the house looked like. We are excited to begin the adventures of home owning!

Allow me to take you on a virtual tour...

We're excited to be new home owners!

Kitchen

Dining Room

Living Room

Master Bedroom

Guest Room

This is the back of the house. We are looking forward to having some cookouts on our deck and patio. There's also a pool in the backyard, but we are removing it so we can have some grass and a garden.

Josh and my project for the weekend was the loft area. As you can tell, a young girl and her mom lived at this house. For some reason, Josh wanted to remove the stickers and repaint. We primed the loft so it will be ready to paint next time we're there.

We were very blessed to have both of our families come help us start the house projects. They scraped off wallpaper, painted, spackled, cleaned, and finished some little projects around the house.

We will post more before and after pictures once we finish our projects. We're planning to spend a week painting and fixing up the house to make it our own and then moving all of our stuff from Huntington. We have two and a half weeks of work left in Huntington, and then we will be heading back to our house to begin life together in Akron!
