Closed Escrow, moved in & making it our own!



We finally closed escrow on Friday, Aug. 7th. YAY! We were ecstatic to finally get to move in. Ever since then we have been doing little things around the house: painting, cleaning, having things repaired etc. We are almost finished with the repairs. There is just a little bit of roof work left and that's it! As for the painting...well we are about 1/2 way done. All the upstairs bedrooms are done and we are tackling the upstairs hallway & stairs this weekend! We need some sort of stair ladder in order to do that though - because there is one area (about 3'x4') that we just can't reach! Anyway - here are some "Before" pictures of the house. And some pictures of the painted rooms.













And now the bedrooms "before" and "after" paint pictures!

This is our bedroom: Seriously - we lived like this for about a week - until the painting was done and the new carpet got installed.





Here is the guest room:





The rest of the rooms don't have any furniture, so I'll just post the Painted version:

This room we painted grey all over. This will most-likely be a nursery at some point. We figured grey will be a good base color and we'll use accents of either blue or pink, depending...of course that's not for awhile. =)



This room will be a roommate's room for a little while. A friend of Jen's from work is moving in with us "month-to-month" until she decides to get her own place (probably about 1 year). She is relocating from Seattle - so living with us helps her save some money & helps us pay for things around the house!



This room will be the upstairs TV room:
