Our New House!!

In June, Dave and I bought a new house. It is only one mile away from our old house, but it is in a quieter area and it is a little bit bigger. We have been moving some things, but we haven't moved in. In the next few weeks, we will probably make the move. Dave is going to finish tiling his shower here before we put the house on the market. The new house is in great shape, but it needs a little updating. I will hopefully post pictures as we make changes. I am starting my first project at the new house tomorrow. I am taking down the popcorn on the ceiling and wallpaper. Anyone want to help?! :)
Back porch - I can't wait to sit out here in the peace and quiet!

Behind the bushes on the right is a carport and storage shed. I love that the bushes hide the shed.





Jack-n-Jill style master bath, but it doesn't have a tub. We plan to make lots of changes in order to add a tub.

Master bedroom - It has a sliding glass door opening to the back porch.
Living room - My favorite part of the house is this large window and glass doors. Great lighting and I enjoy looking out to the yard. I also like the fireplace. The paneling is coming down.

And the gun cabinet is coming out.

Formal living and formal dining in the back

We were amazed that all the original appliances work after 30 years





Kitchen nook

Hopefully, I will keep you updated on the changes we make. Also, I hope to post pictures from Spain soon. We took 2,000 pictures so it is taking me awhile to pick out my favorites.

I love the curtains in the master bedroom. :) I'm jealous of your patio. We are going to have to build one. It's the next big project on our list. I can't wait to see it the next time we come through Abilene.

Why am I just now finding out about this blog?

I think I know of a good handyman in that area... he has a truck, tools, beer, and a new iPhone. But I think he only knows how to properly use one of those things....
