One Very Expensive Lunch Break

Matt and I had one very expensive lunch break today.  We closed on our new (to us) house!!!!!  We will be spending the next couple of weeks moving everything a whole 2 miles down the road :)  I am so excited to be moving in to a space that will allow our family to grow.  Although we fell in love with the house when we first saw it it has had no updates since it was built in the mid-nineties so through the next few years we will be updating the home room by room.  I'm sure it will be a long process but in the end we will have a home perfectly suited for us.

 Here are some pictures of the house pre-move/updates

The exterior...few changes will probably be made here other than a new front door color and updated landscaping.  The front door is currently navy but the shutters are black (go figure!)

 The entry way and rooms to the left and right.  To the left is the formal living room and to the right is the formal dining area.  We are going to add french doors to the formal living area and make it an office.

The living room

The kitchen...yes folks, those are red counter tops.  Be jealous!

Laundry Room

Master bed and bath

3 of the 4 upstairs bedrooms....I guess I forgot to grab a pic of the fourth bedroom.

Upstairs bathroom and this odd nook I have to figure out what to do with.  Anybody want that light fixture?  I think I might pay you to take it off our hands!  Oh, and the toilet cover has fish (seriously) all over it and Randal loves it.  I hate to break it to her but that might need replacing before we ever get around to remodeling that bathroom.
