Well we have been biting our tongues, we didn't want to say anything until everything was confirmed. But now that is, we can share the good news.
We got the house!
We move in approx two weeks and although we have arranged the internet to be set up almost immediately upon moving in, understandably the updates may be a little slow while we settle. So here is a little taster of what to expect over the coming months...
Kitchen - We need to put up some shelves in the larder/pantry, install blinds, redecorate and add accessories.
Living Room/Dining Area - We will be replacing sofas and dining table eventually, we also need to install curtains, paint some furniture, remove the wallpaper and redecorate, add accessories.
Half Bath - We need to give it a bit of paint, install some storage and some redecorating/accessories to make it less dull.
Entryway - We need to build our house hub (storage for coats, schedules, key hooks etc), fill some holes and redecorate, repaint the heater, install a curtain over the door (privacy and to keep in the heat when winter rolls around).
Stairs - We plan to sand and stain the banister and look into extending the banister to ceiling.
Bathroom - We just need to install some storage and redecorate/add accessories.
Master Bedroom - We need to re-build the wardrobe, build a new bed (Hubby is a little tall so his feet stick out the bottom of our current bed), build a TV cabinet, bedding and curtains and redecorate.
Kids Bedroom - We plan to build a wardrobe and possibly some other storage. We need new curtains and cushions and we want a reading nook etc. We want a toy area, quiet area (for reading/relaxing/calming down) and learning area.
Office/Craft Room/Guest Room - We plan to turn the smallest bedroom (which is still rather large) into an office and craft room for me and Hubby to work along side each other on our own projects without falling over each other. This means building a custom double desk, lots of storage and a relaxing feel. We also want to move our sofa bed in there when we get a new sofa, so that when family/friends stay over we have somewhere for them.
Gardens - We will be going from a tiny courtyard out back and a patch of concrete out front to a decent sized front and back garden with lawns, hedges, decking, a pond, a tree and so there will be a little work to do. Mostly cosmetic. Cut lawn, the pond is currently a plastic pre-build and so we want to make it blend in a little better, we want to install flower/veg beds, re-stain the decking, repaint the bench/seat unit, add a shed. Just generally add our personality to it.
So as you can see, we will be very busy bee's and that should mean lots for you all to read and enjoy (:
