House update 1000!!!

sorry guys, still no camera hook up!! anyways. the house is going pretty goot, we have new drywall, texture and paint up and we just finished laying the tile today!! mom and dad came up to visit for a few hours today and dad put up my chandeleir (spelling???) it is coming along. we have to be up and out of our appartment no later than this thursday and it is stress full, due to the lack of a toilet and a kitchen, amoung many things. we are going to be moving into heath's aunt jackies house for a week or two (or three...) so after we get the house finish on the inside hopefully we can finally relax and maybe go on a real date ( i am soooooooooooooo date deprived) anyways i am going to try and updaye the photos this week??? wave a good weekend and mothers dayeveryone

long time coming

wow it has been a long time and alot has happened. yes i still am not able to get my pictures to load of the house but it is coming along. we have the electrical most of the plumbing the drywall is in and textured and we are painting right not and starting the tile tomorrow and heath is also starting on the cabinets. it feels like it is taking forever but i guess it really is not taking that long. we have to move out of our appartment in less than 2 weeks and we are a little anxious to where we are going to live since we have no toilets yet but it will work out some how. and o'ya i have not updated the blog cuz i have been busy and my new job at an orthodontics office. i hope every one is well and i PROMISE there will be pictures to come.

HERE THEY ARE, THE PICTURES YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR.......................OUR HOUSE!!

First is our back yard-- (Turning from left to right)
We love this big tree, in the summer it will be full of green leaves!!

The view from the kitchen, to the diningroom.

yikes!!!!!!!! Bedroom #1

This is the TINY master bathroom, it is so yeird. we are totally demolishing it and making it a bigger batheroom and walk in closet.

Master closet. this will become part of bedroom #2's closet that we are going to make into a walk in closet.

Master bedroom..AKA super YIKES!!!!!!! its bigger than it looks but we are also expanding the master bedroom. ( Check out the carpet!!!!)

Bedroom # 2 ( getting a walk in closet)

Here you go Liz, the silver toilet bathroom!! you can't see it very well but the owners wanted to give there own flair to this DISCUSTIONG bathroon and they spray painted the toilet silver and other things in the room as well! This room is being turned into part of ther new master bath.

Bedroom #3 ( the pink and salmon room) This room is being turned into a guest bathroom and part of the future master closet.

The hallway that leads to the bedrooms.
The front door. we are taking out that wall thing (whatever that is) and puttung a pony wall that is about half that size.
( To the left in the dining room)

The Kitchen. yikes!! this thing is DISCUSTING!! but it is all getting removed, we are expanding the kitchen, adding more counter and cabinat space, eat at island, a pantry and much more. it is going to look beautiful.

This is a very random room with a random fan, thuis is going to be part of the kitchen expansion.

The living room, this room is alot bigger than it appears here. we are taking out the stone fireplace and putting a new white mantel (i love white mantels), re drywalling and maybe putting in a new window.

(Dog pee and poop carpet i was talking about)

Dining room area- ( That is the garage door, yes it is getting replaced)

Last week i went to target and when i go there i always look for sales. well this is the best one i found yet!! this is a parson chair made of black leather, you have probably seen them around and store like cost plus, pier one, target..etc... well i have been looking at these because our chairs are falling apart, but they are about $150 EACH!! i cant afford that so i was just looking around the store and i found these chairs in the back of the store and they were in the furnature sale they were having and guess how much they were???? $32!!!!!!!!! I know i was sooo excited, they only had 3 left so i snatched them up and i called my mom to see if she would go get me 3 more down in phoenix, the AWESOME MOTHER THAT SHE IS, she searched the town for me and found me 3 more! Thanks mom, you are the BEST!!!!!!!!!

They are REALLY REALLY good quality!!!!!!

Heath got me the most BEAUTIFULL boquet of flowers, with white roses and lillies! they smell AMAZING and are verybeautiful, thanks honey i LOVE YOU very very much!!

So for those who don't know heath and i are buying a house. we are planning to close on February 27th. yes we know it is a fixer-upper, heaven knows i would NEVER live in this house without it being remodeled. if you dont think this looks bad, just wait untill i post the pictures of the inside!! YIKES!!!!!!!!!! For those who don't know Flagstaff is very very expensive, its up there with California. the average 1300sqft house goes between 300-400 thousand dollars soooooooo we chose to get a home we could invest in and fix it up!!

Its actually on a good street, its a corner lot and it has a really big back yard. The house is 1850sqft and has 4 bdr and 2ba and we are getting a smoking deal on it. We are really excited to fix it all up how we want it!! yay!!
