For those of you that don't know (in which case, you should join Facebook), Jay and I bought our first house back in June. It happened pretty quickly and with the help of some friends who were moving to Houston. They needed to sell and we wanted to buy, so it worked out perfectly. Three bedrooms, two baths and a monster of a backyard (which we'll discuss later...).
I need to take a more recent picture, seeing as though we have had enough rain to actually grow some "grass" (ok...so, mainly weeds, but they are GREEN) in that dead spot at the bottom of the picture.
The house was built in the mid-70s, so we have a lot of projects- some done and some on the list. We have already painted just about every room in the house (including the fireplace), put down laminate/hardwood floors, removed the popcorn ceilings and replaced the back door. And when I say "we" I mean "the people we hired"...except for the painting, we managed that ourselves.
It is still a work in progress, but we will start posting some before and afters as soon as they are ready.
