Snow Day #2 and Housing Update

Yes that's right. I have another snow day. This is the second one this school year. One in October and the other at the end of March. What kind of crazy weather place did we move into? Friday, we got about 4-5 inches of snow and then had 50's and 60's. Now, another 6 inches of snow on the ground and we were on the low end for Denver. Oh well, day off for me!

We finally broke into the garage, and you will never guess what we found! It was NOT our garage. Our closer that was sick and hopped up on cold medicine misread our property description. Not to put all the blame on her, when we called the title company about the garage that was not ours, it took a conference call with 4 people from the company to figure it out. Luckily the actual owner was understanding about the whole thing.

Home Improvements

Well, being proud homeowners is exciting, but a lot of work! It is the night before we are going to move in and we did not get as much done as we wanted to. However, here is the progress so far. Finishing off the red.

Mmmm, pistachio ice cream. Doesn't it look bright and cheerful?

The previous owners really liked dark colors. It is not too bad since there is a lot of windows, but we like it a little toned down. Megan's first time painting, not too shabby.

Not pictured is the hall which still needs another coat, but it is the same soft suede as above. A lot done before we moved in our stuff. Now, we will just have to paint around our stuff. Also to come, new countertop, sink, and faucet in the kitchen. And, what will we find in our mysterious garage that we have not been able to look into?

Hip Hip Hooray to the Homeowners

We did it! We finally did it! As of the 26th of February, we are homeowners. Though we quickly realized that there are many adventures one faces. Besides actually finishing the process, the most exciting part was finding out that we own a garage with our condo which we did not expect. Well, we have started to transform our place and make it our own. So, join us on our journey.
Here is the kitchen as we bought it. Very very red. I was feeling very ambitious but luckily Megan talked some sense into me and just decided to paint the cabinets instead of reface them.

Step 1: Paint off white and red cabinets white.

Step 2: Tone down that dark red to pistachio ice cream

Now it is starting to look better, but still much more to do. We will be busy busy busy! Stay tuned for more.
