The House

Oh my gosh, I bought a house!  I can't believe I technically became a homeowner at the age of 24 (I know I'm pushing it, but it was 7 days before I turned 25 so I can claim it). 

What cracks me up is that the virtual tour is still online from when the house was on the market.  Check it out to see how much I'm lacking in decorating skills compared to the previous owner.

So what have I learned so far about being a homeowner?  You stress about money constantly.  There are a million and one little projects that come up and just go on a list until you can afford to get them done.  Target has become an addiction.  Home Depot is my new best friend.  I'd rather die than go to Costco on a weekend.  Cleaning supplies are expensive - It's probably cheaper to just hire someone.   Everything looks much better when it's all in it's place - OMG I've become my mother!

So, here's what it looks like.  It's changing slowly but surely, and I'm too lazy to update the photos.   By the time it all comes together, it'll be time to move again :-). Keep in mind, these photos are not true to color by any means. My walls are not lime green. There's not enough light for me to capture it exactly. Maybe one day, I'll take better photos, but you get the idea. Also, I have way more artwork up on the walls now.
