8 Months Later

I closed on my little house on September 26, 2008. Since then, there have been many changes and I have really enjoyed making my house a home. At the beginning of May, my boyfriend moved in and even more changes have been occurring. The main thing now is to make my cutesy little home into our home. Thankfully Sheldon doesn't absolutely hate the cute or the pink and I don't hate his pint glass collection being on display.

So let's go on a little journey... I thought it might be fun to show the listing photos, the photos of when I moved in and the current photos.
The house is an 884 sf traditional house built in 1928 with an attached garage. I live on a corner lot, which I absolutely love. The backyard is huge, but very plain. We have big plans for it and hope to start those this summer.

There you have it. I hope you enjoyed my little house tour. I really love this place and intend to be here for awhile. I can always build a studio in a backyard to give us more room. To see the full transformation and more info about the house check out the photo set on flickr!

Oh and just so you know the dining room chairs and my dressing area are finished thanks to a trip to IKEA this past weekend. I sooo love my dressing table and freshly spray painted blue mirror. It is just perfect for me and really helps free up some space in the tiny tiny bathroom.
