Making Our Home: RENOVATION BEGINNINGS

As I've briefly mentioned before, we bought a new home the week before Christmas.  The first time we looked at the house in early November we loved the floorplan and the location.  There were many less lovable attributes of the house, but, fortunately, we were able to see past the outdated blue floral wallpaper and borders, pink panel blinds, lack of overhead lighting, and disgusting yellow linoleum, to name a few. John and I felt that we could make the cosmetic updates to the house, thus MAKING OUR HOME from this house.  

We have worked very hard over the past two months that we have owned the house, and we have made great strides!  John and I have taken tons of pictures of the progress, and wanted to begin documenting them here.  We still have many items on our "to do" list, but it is so exciting seeing the progress.  

Today I am going to begin by sharing this post of our RENOVATION BEGINNINGS, or what the house looked like the day we got the keys at our closing.
