I have been waiting to post about our new home for so long but until the keys were handed over we agreed to keep the cyber world waiting (even though I told everyone I know months ago... oops!)
On December 15, 2011 we bought our first home! Technically it's a townhouse but none-the-less our HOME! It is a move-in ready home but we can't wait to get out little DIY hands on her and make her our own. The previous owner hadn't lived in the house in 3 years because he moved away for his job, so as you can imagine the house was in GREAT shape. To say there was no "style" or "personality" in the home would be an understatement. It was a sterile, boring, and a lonely little place. It was dying for a little TLC. And don't you worry we plan to bring some life back into her and make her into a place that we can call OUR home. Here are some pictures to show you the BEFORE and as we embark on the journey of fixing her up I'll be sure to capture all the good, bad, and ugly moments of this new adventure of home ownership! Enjoy!
Side note: all of these photos are from the realty website and will soon be transformed by the future Fissel's:)
Well folks! There ya have it! A look into our new casa and the future of the Fissel family!:) I can't begin to explain how excited I am to take this next step of being engaged and owning our own home! It's going to be a fun, bumpy, and exciting time in our lives and I plan to share as much of it as I can with y'all.
**As of today our house was painted! It's so cool how a little paint can completely change the look and feel of a room. I'll be sure to post pictures once I get the photos from Mike's camera... and considering I never posted about my Fall party should be an indication that I have a lot of hounding to do. Wish me luck!
