Such a grown up thing to do. But we're finished school, married and have a kid, so maybe we are grown up now. After a few weeks of ups and downs and lots and lots of phone calls, looking at the house, going back to the house, measuring the house, taking pictures of the house, and questions, lots of questions, it's ours. We were handed the key (yes, just one) on Wednesday.
The house would not be considered pretty on the inside (or the outside... plain maybe), and I'm not just saying that in comparison to the $400,000 show homes we looked at. There is carpet in the kitchen. And we're not neat people. We have spilled orange juice on our floor more time then I'd like to admit (and by we, I do not mean me), along with countless other liquids and non liquids that I would not want to try to clean out of carpet.
So after 2 days of owning, the carpets are out, the kitchen is gone, some walls are down and it's a bit of a dusty mess, but it looks so much better.

Heading to Ikea this weekend!
Check out some before photos (subpar iPhone photos, but you'll get the gist.)

josh looks all too satisfied to be doing some serious wreckage to your place!
Congrats on your house! It looks gorgeous so far! And good idea getting rid of the kitchen carpet.. our little trailer we had in Brandon had carpet in the kitchen, and I accidentally dumped a bowl of pancake batter! Cant wait to see pictures of the after renos :)
