First Time Home Owners

So way back in 2011, Christopher and I decided that it was time to maybe get out of the renting business and into the home ownership business.  Getting to this point was something that we really worked towards, we saved and saved and even took a roommate to help squirrel away money.  Being a married couple with a roommate isn't always the easiest situation and I am so thankful that we lived with a friend that I can STILL call a friend after living together for an entire year!  Justin really was a blessing to us because he allowed us to get our finances in order so that we could delve into the hunt for the house we would call home!

Without further ado, here is the house we now call home!

Just this summer we made a major home improvement and painted the house!  So take a second look at the above picture and imagine a navy front door and shutters and crisp white everywhere else.  I was never a fan of the "country" blue, but it was a pretty quick fix once we got a paint crew out to paint!  

This is the house while the paint crew was finished up!  If anyone in the North Atlanta area needs a recommendation for a painter, let me know.  We absolutely loved the company that we used and would recommend them to anyone.  They were quick and efficient and did a really good job.  We had one issue and they immediately came back and fixed the problem!  

The house was built in 1991, and there are a number of updates we would like to make.  Paint, new lighting fixtures (5 rooms, 5 different ceiling fans...need I say more?) working on eradicating the massive amounts of gold fixtures in the home...catching on?  It's a wonderful house with wonderful bones, it just needs a little love!  Hopefully with the help of Pinterest and the wonderful girls at work who talk design with me I can start showing off some of the progress.  You know, once I start making some!
