Today we closed on our new house!
We just got back from the title company and decided to throw Stella in the
stroller, lasso up the Moose and walk over to look at our new home.
You're probably wondering were is a picture of the house and why is it in Denver?
Well my friends, we decided to stay in Colorado after much thought and our new house is a work in progress but here it is in it's RAW current condition. We bought an older home to live in the zip code we wanted plus have mature trees/landscape without neighbors right on top of you. This house is also 3 blocks from Brooke's school too. Andrew and I love projects and it allows us to bring out our creative sides and make it unique to our style. We're doing a complete demo and taking the interior of the house down to the studs. We're living in the apartment until the remolding is done. I will post before and after pictures of everything once the interior remodel is done by the construction company. They said it should only take them 4-6 weeks....we'll see!
Next spring we are hitting the outside of the house with all new paint, new garage door, new front door, new exterior lights, new driveway (as you can see it REALLY needs it!), concrete edging in the yard, new sprinkler system, all new landscaping in the front and back and lastly a new fence. We've already started a few things ourselves with the outside of the house like take off those ugly purple shutters and white storm door, trimmed up some of the trees, clean up/water the yard and painted the orange trim, front door and garage door a rich brown to get us threw until next spring when we do the total exterior overhaul.
We are so excited!
