The house that Brent bought......

I wish I had some pictures on this computer to show you! I can't wait for ya'll to see it! Especially the before and after pics! It has 2100 square feet and 6 acres of trees and a great front yard! The past 4 days we have been working and working. The house had wallpaper in 5 rooms! I don't know if you've ever had to take down wallpaper or not, but it is a long process! Our pastor came over on Friday to help and he suggested we rent a wallpaper steamer. We were able to rent one for the whole weekend, this little joy of a machine is such a time-saver! Please do not ever take down wallpaper without one! It took 3 days to get it all down and if we had not had the steamer, we would still be working on it. Some of the wallpaper was double! It creates a mess, but is easy clean up! Brent's dad has been spraying the outside of the house and it looks amazing! It is sided in white siding and I think that the people who lived there before were not sure how to take care of it b/c the house used be white with green tint, but now it is a lovely pure white!

Now we are waiting for the tile man and a painter or two to come this week and give a few estimates and then we will be painting and tiling. I think it will be a few weeks before we can move in. I've been trying to decide on colors for the rooms. It is a good thing that I did get a degree in interior design, b/c this is the most time consuming thing for me! I'm pretty sure it's because I don't really know what I want. Or it's that I do know what I want, I just don't know how to make it happen.

I was on IKEA's website today searching for a few things. We have enough stuff to fill 713 square feet, so that leaves 1387 square feet of space to fill! The closest IKEA is in Atlanta, so I might be taking a a little trip in the future!

We are excited about all the possibilities of this house.
