In Transition

Ok! Before I get all mixed up in switching all the services and changing all my account information I thought I would post a Flikr link to all the house pics that we currently have. Hope this will keep you satiated until we are back in the swing of things....

Lots'o'Pics of the House

Overwhelmed!

So, incase you didn't already know, the closing on this monstrosity was today. We are soooo excited and happy to be finally getting to jump into this project! Keys are in hand (even though Rick already misplaced one!! haha oh well.. installing new locks tomorrow anyway) and we have plans up the wazoo! Tonight i had a mild melt down about all of the work that is ahead of us.

Walking through the house tonight, we both realized how much work we actually have to do on every single room to reach our goal. Everything from the ceilings to the baseboards needs a full body makeover and then some. It seems like we have a hard time not looking at the whole big picture. Have to remember what my mom told me about how to eat an elephant... one bite at a time. It's going to be a lot of blood, sweat and tears, Howeva!! at least this place is semi clean (except for a few squirrels in the attic, no biggie) and livable. water.. check!, gas..check!, electricity.. check!

Now.. who wants to help us haul all of our heavy stuff over there??? compensation will be provided with pizza, beer and lovely jungle room accommodations.. xoxo the axe!

Quickie

2006 Historic Homes Tour Photo
Found a photo of our house when it was occupied by an avid gardener. This photo is from when the house was included in the 2006 Historic Homes Tour.

Room of the Week

'The Entryway'

In order to be granted entry to our home, one must stare into the unforgiving soul of an aged brass gremlin before heaving open a rich wooden door that has been witness to decades of street-scape activity.

Room of the Week

'The Fireplace Room'

We've decided to do a little pre-move ranting about a few choice rooms in the new house. The first room on the introductory list could go by a few different names; Living Room, Formal Living Room, Sitting Room, etc. I like to call it, "The Fireplace Room," since that is the central focus.
