  • First of all let me say that all of your well wishes and the fact that you are all truly excited for me has made me tear up! I love you all :)

    Okay, here are pics from online.I cant find pics of the living room, backyard or bathrooms. This house is WAY scary. There is so much that we would do before we moved in. New kitchen, rugs ripped up and finish the hardwood , new baths, windows etc. I think we are crazy.

    Front, yes there is a shutter missing...

    Kitchen

    Yes, there are cabinet doors missing. The owners decided if the bank was going to take there house from them they would take what they could. They also took the fridge .

    Dining room

    At least there is hardwood under that carpet! And the wall paper is going!

    Den-I think this is the only room that we don't have to do anything to! It was an addition to the house, so there isnt hardwood under the carpeting(and it seemed to be in decent shape)

     The backyard is super nice and fenced in. I'll take pictures next week when we go look at it again.

     

     

  • That's so awesome, Bella!  I'm so excited for you guys!  Even though you said it needs a lot of work, this will enable you to truly personalize your house from the get-go and have everything you like!  Congrats!!!

  • Bella that house is INCREDIBLE!  Yes, there is work to be done but with all those windows and natural light, you will have one fabulous house on your hands when you start to do a facelift.  Can't wait to see more of it and see your progression.  AND the babies have a pretty yard too.  I love it.
  • Congratulations!!  That is such great news!!!

    No worries.  How great will that be!

  • I love it, fixable flaws and all!

  • Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee How freaken RAD!!!!!

    It has so much potential!!!

    Check out craigslist for a fridge. DH and I scored a year old side by side for less then $400! With a water and ice maker dispenser! I HEART CL!!!!

    You are going to have so much fun putting that house together and putting your own touches on it.

    Ours needs new floors so bad. Not looking forward to how much that will be :(

  • Congrats!!!!  That house is HUGE and its so much fun fixing them up and making them yours.  A lot of work, but so rewarding!
  • That is absolutely exciting/great/fabulous/awesome news!  I see a ton of potential in the photos you posted.  Yes it costs a lot, but you get to make this house yours by doing all the work the way you want it done. Congrats!!
  • That is FANTASTIC!! That house is going to be fabulous when you get done with it!!!
  • That is awesome!!!  That pink kitchen is scary, but it looks like it has very workable bones.  Just imagine how awesome the new kitchen will look, and just to your taste.  You will have so much fun making it your own. 

    I think the outside it very cute, missing shutter and all.

  • Thnaks ladies!  I think we are going to be in pretty good shape. If we get ti our mortgage will be somewhat comfrotable so we should be okay with getting alot of the house fixec up. I am started to get EXCITED!!!

    I really want a cherry wood kitchen with dark granite countertops, but thats justa dream!!!

  • What a great twist of fate for you guys! You deserve it after all the headaches you've been through. The right house DID come along, looks like!

    Congrats!
