One step closer....

So, we've been a little busy. 



BUYING A HOUSE.


Well, we're at least at the next step... We put in an offer on a house last Monday and it was accepted!  We have out inspection this week.  If all goes well, we'll be there before you know it! 

A little about the place:

Its close to Lincoln Park/Fraze Pavillion(which is an outdoor concert hall), it has 3 bed 2 baths and a finished basement.  The first floor is circa 1993.  Gold, flowers, white and navy blue.  Awesome, I know!  The basement gets even better.  Think Orange, yellow and cedar and you have our new basement!!  So amazing, right?  We have a huge ( literally 3 1/2 feet x 3 1/2 feet) painting of sunflowers circa 1976 that we got when we were first married that went with our sunflower oval dinner table and bucket swivel chairs.  It is very sad that we had to give away the table and chairs about 5 years ago, but we still have the painting! AND It fits right in, I am pretty pumped. 

Projects to be added to the list already:

1. Remove awful pink and blue wall paper in the kitchen.
2. Remove fresh new carpet to expose even better hard wood floors.  At least in the living room and dining room... and get new furniture... and put the older stuff in our new play room (basement living room). 
3. Bathroom circa 1957.  Its about time for an update... at least its not pink ( which is why it's # 3)
4. Add one corner of fencing, thanks to neighbors who have already put up theirs, and get a new furry friend!
5. Wainscott our bedroom...
6. Chalkboard paint in Jonah's room?

and I am sure a gazillion more to come.  Perhaps I will add the "To-Do" list on the side of the good ol' bloggy to keep a running update on progress.  Yay for progress.
