New Digs...

Okay. So, I'm reluctant to post any pics of my new place. It's really, really ugly inside. It's a very old house and everything has that orangey, nicotine tint to it. I'm in the process of fixing it up. But...I guess it'd be good to show the progress as I go. So, here goes nothing...

The house. Isn't it cute?! All of the weeds in the flower beds are gone now. I love the porch swing! I sit out there and read while Sam does his business.


The living room. This picture really doesn't do it justice. It's HUGE. The walls were orange and the whole place reeks of cigarette smoke. Ick!

This is the bedroom. These pics were taken before the electricity was turned on.

The kitchen. It's really big. I love it!
The backroom...and the hideous Coca-Cola wall paper border. This is Sam's room. It has a lot of windows, so I open the blinds up and he spends the day on the futon watching the squirels.

The bathroom. Love the clawfoot tub, hate the wall paper!

So, that's my new place! It's big for one person and I know I'm going to love it as soon as I'm finished fixing it up. I'm almost finished with the living room. The paint needs to be touched up (the blue painters tape ripped off some of my work. boo!) and the carpets needs to be shampooed. That's on the agenda this weekend. I'm also going to try to finish the bedroom. I'll post pics of each room as I finish them.

That's all folks! Check back later for progress pics!

You SO need a close up of the carpet because that's gonna be a HUGE difference, too. :)

So my tape job ripped off some of the paint? :(
