The House Before

Warning! I'll be blogging about the new house quite a bit this week. Our weekend was full of moving, packing, unloading and organizing. Now we've spent two nights in our new home and it's great!

We've done a ton of work to our new place in just the six days we've owned it. Nothing drastic yet, but like I said before, this place needed some love. Everything is coming along including furniture and small projects. I can't wait to show photos of the final look, but here are some quick snaps of the place the day we closed on it.

More on that later this week! I hope you've enjoyed a quick preview of our place! I can't wait to show you how it all comes together.
