We are homeowners!

DH & I closed on our first home Friday. Everything went great. We joked around with the sellers the whole time and it all went very fast.

I have a few pics in my blog (link in sig). They arent exciting, just a bunch of empty rooms, lol. We spent the weekend stripping wallpaper from the kitchen and MIL started painting the office & guest room. We move on Sunday and we would like to have everything painted by then but if the kitchen doesnt get that far its ok. The wallpaper is down and thats what mattered most to me, lol.

Re: We are homeowners!

  • Congrats!!!  So exciting and kudos to get that wallpaper removed...probably made a big difference already!  Can't wait to see after pics.
  • Congrats! Although the "nothing exciting" in the pictures is relative. I *LOVE* looking at house pictures and imagining what the room could look like, haha. I can't wait to see what you do with it! And great job taking down the wall paper!

    That is good that your closing went fast and was fun... our seller was rude to us and everyone at the closing the entire time. It was very frustrating because it was our first closing. Blech.

  • Congrats! Buying a house is such an exciting accomplishment! :o)
  • Congratulations on your first house!  Happy to hear closing went well.  I too had a week between closing and moving and it made a huge difference. I was able to clean and get the carpets cleaned (although it rained the day I moved and "ruined" the clean carpets!)

  • Congrats! Glad to hear that closing went so well. We also got along great with the seller, and still catch up every once in a while :)

    Awesome job on already stripping the paper and starting to paint. You'll feel that much more accomplished when you move in!

  • Congratulations!!

  • Congrats to you both--what a chore to get wallpaper down!  We are in the looking mode and it's scary to see some of these places.  Looks like you found a great place.

  • Thanks everyone! It was really stressful and problem filled time before we found this house so I was glad when everything was signed and we had the keys! I can see us here for a long time.

  • That's SO exciting! 

    DH and I are decorating and organizing our first apt together, and it all just makes me want to buy a home of our own!  I'm sure this will be a fun (and scary!) time, make sure to post some "after" pictures :)

    Congratulations!!!!

  • Congrats & good luck with the preparations and actual move!  We move this weekend, too, and I've been anxiously watching the weather reports and keeping my fingers crossed for good weather for us (and you, too, now!).
  • congrats! we just did that a year ago and I remember how nerve~racking it was but the feeling of eating that subway sub in the empty room after was so great :) hehehe

    Best wishes as you  paint and get ready for your move!

  • Congratulations!
