Movin' on up!

The big weekend is finally here...move in weekend! Yay! We have been working on this house constantly for the past few weeks(fyi- when I saw "we" it's more Joel than I...but hey, I helped too!)

Here are some things we have done before the move:

• Scraped all ceilings
• Removed all pre-existing door casings and moldings
• Textured the walls and ceilings
• Undercoated the inside of the house
• Demo-ed the kitchen and extended the soffits to make kitchen bigger
• Cut a opening in wall of the living room/dining room
  
• Tore down enclosed patio
• Can lights in kitchen, dining room and living room
  
• New windows
• New interior doors
  
• New door casings,crown molding & baseboards
  
• New hardwood floor
• New carpet
• Wainscoting in 1 room
• New closet doors
  
• Paint
• New stair railing
• new light fixtures
  
• New bathroom cabinet/sink and medicine cabinet
• Power washed the front of the house (which still needs some help lol)
  

Here are some major things that we still need to do/or are waiting for:

• Kitchen (cabinets installed on Monday..woo!)
• Flooring in kitchen and dining room (Wed or Thurs)
• Granite (coming to measure on Thurs..installed a few days later)
• Install appliances

There is still way more to do, but those are just some of the things on our list!

Yesterday we were planning on only taking a few things over...and moving most of the stuff today. Well, once the ball hit the ground, we had almost everything moved. Today we need to move a few big things and a handful of little things, then we will be set! It already feels so "homey." It was kind of sad packing up our little rental house. We lived there for almost 3 years, but I know we will make tons of memories in this new house!

I plan on posting before/during/after pics on here soon. Here is a sneak peak of our TV cabinet that we re-vamped!

Before: @ the store ("I got it at Ross"-what a deal!)

After: A little white paint, new knobs, and in our living room waiting for the TV!

In less than a week I'll be on spring break for a week, with a new kitchen, ready to organize and clean!

Check back soon for more updates!!
