new house business...

so, if you're wondering where i've been this past month or so, i am finally back to tell you all that i have been busy wrapping my head around buying a house!!! yippee!!
~~~
it is a cute litte 1100 square footer here in town, with a garage and a little yard for me to mow and grow things in, and for my dog chicken to poop in!
~~~
it doesn't really need any work, except cosmetically, and that mainly consists of some old peely wallpaper and an icky rug that needed to go. all the other stuff, like the old cabinetry and countertops, can definitely wait for a while. i need to live in the place and figure out what i want for it before i start ripping it apart.
~~~
above is a picture of my new floor, sans yukky mauve/brown carpet. i ripped it up to find that, luckily, there was this lovely wood floor just waiting to be discovered by me. it needs refinishing, but i'll do that at a later date. now that all the staples and tacks are gone, it looks like a real room!
~~~
i will for sure be posting some more pictures very soon, i just have to remember to bring my camera to the house...the phone cam isn't bad, but it doesn't do the place justice.
~~~
next mini project will be to paint that panelling. hopefully i'll get to it before i move in, which is scheduled for the 5th of june, but if not i'll just wing it.
~~~
i love my new house!
