Busy, Busy week!! The closing on our house went wonderfully! I cannot believe how EASY it all was. I kept waiting for something to pop up and screw it all up. I wasn't even overwhelmed by the amount of paperwork. We have been VERY busy over there. Right after the closing we went to Menards to buy supplies for the house. Paint was on sale so we bought a bunch. I hope that we got enough, but we weren't sure how much we were going to need so we guesstimated the best we could. We have spent pretty much all of our time there removing wallpaper borders and cleaning all of the glue off the wall.
We have so many ideas of things that we want to do our heads are swimming. We have categorized them as immediate, before the housewarming and someday. It is really hard for me because we are changing the color scheme so dramatically. I just want to change everything. I think with the colors that we have picked bronze or wrought iron will be our choice of fixtures throughout the house. Those are things that we are going to want to change slowly, but I am pretty excited to do it and want it done NOW! Josh is good at grounding me and reminding me of the money end, which coincidentally I am always reminding him of.
Needless to say, we are VERY excited about owning our first home! We cannot wait to get in, but at the same time realize that there is SO much that we want to do before we get there. The walls are filthy. I know that we are painting but I wonder how people live like that. I am sure it just happened, especially since they were not living there. EVERYTHING needs to be scrubbed! The showers are so filthy and they are just taunting me every time I go into the bathrooms! The cupboards need cleaned. I want to take down all of the lights (not that there are many) and run them through the dishwasher. Everyday we see something new. Yesterday while removing glue we took down the window treatment in the master and the blinds (vertical) are so filthy so we have to vacuum them. The list is never ending!
