House Hunting and Why I Forgot to Update Yesterday.

Hello Friends!

This week has been very fun for us, and of course, busy!  Well, maybe just fun for me.  Remember last week when I said hubs and I decided to start working on the house?  And maybe even start looking for a new house?

Well, that happened.  We've been doing a LOT of things to the house, including repainting some crazy colors we had, decluttering a lot/getting rid of stuff, putting up new baseboards, staging our furniture, and even working on the outside. 

The first thing I did was paint the bathroom and the extra bedroom--that was on the last post.  Second, we knew there was a spot behind our bathroom sink where we needed new baseboard.  We found out later after MUCH searching that the baseboard we have no longer exists....or we just couldn't find it.  Either way, we now have to take out the old baseboard and replace with the new that we've purchased.  

We had to do this with the second bedroom, too, since the baseboards were painted black (wow...terrible idea).  Here's what it looks like so far :(

Another fun fact:  don't try to take off your baseboard with a butter knife.  This happened.

Yep, it's broken in the baseboard now.  AWESOME.

We bought new doors to put on!  Here's a before and after of the front door, and of the living room after the declutter.  I LOVE it.

And then?  We started working on the facia boards.  Holy facia board NIGHTMARE.  There is paint EVERYWHERE.  Here's the pre-paint.  You can tell there's some painting to be done around the new door, too.

And FINALLY.  The house hunt.  Now I know why the people on House Hunters always seem strung out and angry.  It is so stressful!  Two stories or one?  This town or that town? Three bedrooms or four?  Basement or no basement? Is there an office area? What does the back yard look like?  Sweet patio or pool? 

SO.  MANY.  QUESTIONS.

I can't decide.  But I'm over the moon about it :)
