house | Mrs. Dessert Monster

My husband & I have a million projects going on right now.

I am not a one-at-a-time kind of person.

We decided to tackle EVERYTHING we want to do to this house before we settled in & got complacent. So I can deal with some unfinished projects if it means getting to dream house (at least at this budget) status sooner.

The biggest change we have done so far is have the outside painted.

Holy crap, what a difference!

Whoever chose that green paint before us clearly doesn’t watch HGTV. Curb appeal, people!

I’m not done with the outside of the house just yet, but my husband did put up one very important feature.

It also just so happens to be flag day!

God bless our new home & God bless America.

6/25: Lela @ In The New House Designs just started a link party calling Inspiration Thursday.

This is my first time participating in a link party! I hope to be submitting LOTS more once I start sharing the home projects!

I’ve got some really exciting news:

My husband & I bought our first house!

We just closed on it Friday & are painting/renovating/moving over the next couple of weeks.

Can you tell we are excited???

The house doesn’t need too much work; we are basically just customizing it to our taste.

When we first found out that our offer had been accepted I said to my husband, “think of all the blog material I’ll have!”

Friday we mostly just sat in our new house & celebrated.

We pulled out the glasses from our wedding & popped some champagne!

Our realtor, who goes to our church, gave us that cute smiley face planter 🙂

Our friends were a big help to us over the weekend with painting & other tasks.

Beth & David gave us a sweet house warming present, inspired by the movie It’s A Wonderful Life.

We are still in awe of how much are blessed.

We are extremely thankful to God for his blessings on our lives, & we hope to fill our new home with his presence.
