Seeking the Schmidt's

This is our new house!! Yeah, we are not in the hallway anymore! A friend of ours gave us these words of encouragement, "God doesn't close one door without opening another, but it might be HELL in the Hallway!!" We are out of the hallway, Praise God! We are not officially moved into the house, but we are working on it! Because we were in the hallway for a while, we didn't have the opportunity to get everything turned on before we signed. We found out Friday at 3 that we would be signing Monday at noon, so the electricity was turned on Thursday, and gas will be turned on Monday. Then we are free to move in completely! YEAH!!! I'm ready! There are some things we would like to do to update the house a little bit, so these are really before pictures, I can' wait until we get the after pictures up! We are looking into wood floors for the living room, craft room and hallway. There is ugly linoleum in the kitchen and bathrooms, so that will be exchanged for some ceramic tile. The doors on the craft room are hideous, they will be coming down and hopefully some french doors going up. There are some lights (reading lights we think) in the living room, not sure what we want to do about those... gotta get creative with those! Of course I want to paint a few things! Larry is a little freaked out by my creative thoughts, but I think it will be fun when it's all said and done, i can't wait to get started! Our doors are open for visitors who want to come and visit or want to come help with some projects! We would love to have you! YEAH WE ARE HOME OWNERS!!!
