I'm a home-owner

I'm now the proud owner of 2000 square feet of popcorn ceilings! Well, that's not entirely true, the living room was spared the popcorn, but you get the point. We've bought our first house and it is ugly, ugly, ugly. I've always dreamed of buying an outdated home and sprucing it up, but now that it's mine....yikes! I have to live in it! My to-do list is packed full until 2041! In case you don't believe me, see for yourself....

This, my friends, is my new living room. Doesn't it make you shudder?

And the other side of the living room...

Here is the study. It's not too bad. I'm loving those floors, and we are hoping to find more when we pull up all the carpet.

Here is the master bedroom. Two things about this room make we want to cry. 1. the carpet 2. that light. Can you see that florescent yuckiness peeking through at the top of the photo? It's coming down within the week. I'd rather live in complete darkness.

And the kitchen....more florescent charm. Also, please note what is going on at the front of that bar. Yes, carpet. On. a. wall. How? Why?

The dining room isn't too bad. I've got big, beautiful plans for it, so stay tuned!

And of course the front of the house. Duddy.
