Well we have been in our house for 9 months already! It has flown by, thats for sure! As for house updates we have made it look so much better with not too much money into it!
We have:
--painted every room except the "guest room/future baby room" which we will prob either wait to paint or just do tan since we aren't planning on kids for a long time.. I just hate painting so I don't wanna paint it and then in a year paint again, so we'll see
--torn up the old nasty carpets in guest room and office, replace office with tan shag carpet and left hardwood in guest room
--torn out all the kitchen countertops and replaced with new!
--torn out the kitchen backsplash and had a new one tiled
--tomorrow we are pouring a small 13x12 concrete patio in the back yard!
*The future house improvement plans include building a deck up from the patio
*Cleaning out the garage and putting in a garage door opener so I can park there this winter
*Painting the front porch cement grey (right now it's red and chipping)
*Having the basement floor and walls painted grey (hopfully with a sprayer!)
*Dry walling a small portion of the basement so it can be a little hang out area down there (mostly because jared wants to hang his deer stuff somewhere, haha)
*Still not sure what to do about our kitchen cabinets but they are so ugly! I want to paint them white but Jared says no, so we'll see about staining them or maybe replacing them but I know that is very costly! We don't want to put too much money into this house beacuse we aren't sure we will be able to get it back out when we sell it down the road.
Our plans are to stay here for about 4 more years, once we have kids, we'll see how that goes!
