New Home... New Beginnings

Last Friday we closed on our new home in Beavercreek, OH. We have been working very hard to make it our own before we officially move in. In fact just after closing we went to the house and began ripping up all the carpet right away. All of the carpet is gone as well as the crazy planter that was built next to the fireplace. It was highly satisfying to rip it up and reveal some beautiful hardwood floors. We do have a bit of a trouble patch where the planter was next to the fireplace but a rug might just do the trick until we can properly fix the floor boards there.

Micah's room was chosen to be painted first because once his room is done we can actually stay the night there. We have had some major setbacks in his room unfortunately. The old paint is cracked in some areas and while painting over it it began peeling off in huge sections! This happened even after we thought we had fixed it by sanding and priming those areas. Now we have mudded over those areas to prevent any more peeling. We didn't want to do this as the walls are textured and we can't duplicate that but we really had no other choice. So once the mud is completely dry we will move along with the painting and will hopefully have his room finished by the end of this weekend. I have been so busy working on the house I forgot to take pictures of the works in progress but I will be sure to snap some soon.

Here are pictures of the house from October during our home inspection:
