Relaxing on a Sunday?

My husband Jason and I are homeowners once again. It's been two weeks and we are far from being settled in. Nothing is in it's place, everyday tasks require twice as much effort and dust is happy to settle everywhere. We are dealing with a whole different breed of house this time around. I call it The Fixer Upper. Here are some classic "before" pictures. I will post "after" pictures as they come.

We are not crazy about the red and blue exterior but we have a beautiful Japanese Maple tree.

Our classic 70's kitchen. Mustard yellow is hot but not in here!

The kitchen is connected to a family room. Check out the floors!

Dining room with built-in hutch.  Flesh colored walls, my favorite.

Bathroom with original avocado sink, tub and toilet!

A master bedroom is never complete without orange shag carpet.

Everyday around here seems to be an adventure so I thought I'd create this site to share with friends and family our trials and triumphs. Today alone we were locked out of house because the product Great Stuff worked a little TOO well on the exterior door we installed and stuck our dead bolt together. Needless to say I had to break into our house through the garage window. Can't wait for tomorrow!
