It’s been almost two months since we’ve moved into our new house and if I put off showing you all pictures anymore it might just be Christmas before I get to it.
Now when I say “before” pics, the house we bought was lived in for a mere 3 months. The fridge was brand spanking new so either the people never ate or bought it new to help sell the house. The couple who bought the land built the house, but ended up not living here very long due to his profession (doctor) and also what we think was a nasty little affair while he was still married. His loss, our gain, although if I was his wife, now ex, I would have demanded to keep the thing.
There honestly wasn’t anything that absolutely needed to be done before or even right after we moved in and everything we’ve done/are doing is pretty much cosmetic. Enough with my rambling, let’s check her out.

As if there weren’t enough pictures, here are a few from when the kids saw the house for the first time.
Congrats for making it through this post. I’ll post updated pictures as we continue to change things, decorate, and complete projects because let’s face it, the before and afters are the best part of settling in to a new house.
Linking up with Annie for Thoughts on Thursday.
