Many of you know that Brian and I found a cute little house and made a bid. It is a 3 bed, 1 bath, 2 car garage ranch home. The bank countered our and we countered back. It seems like at times waiting has been a torture but we have been at peace with whatever would be the outcome. We prayed all along for God's direction and for His will. We prayed for open doors and closed doors. I have resisted blogging and showing pictures until we received final word that the bank accepted our offer and just a short while ago we received that. So as it looks, Brian and I are buying our first house! I am nervous and excited all at the same time. Our closing is set for March 13th.
We are getting a rehab loan so that we can redo the kitchen. It is a beautiful and big but right now there s so much wasted space and no appliances. We have already got a ton of ideas of what we would like to do. We want to do it in a "U shape" have the fridge and built in pantry on the left side, the sink/dishwasher in the middle, and the stove on the right. And, I want to paint it a pale yellow. We hope to get stainless steal appliances and all new cupboards. We will use these cupboards in the laundry room or garage.
This is the living room. For this room and the main areas in the house: the entry way and hallway, I want to paint it brown (actually called oatmeal). I hope to give a warm look. If we have money left over, we hope to replace the carpet, but that depends on how much the kitchen will cost.
The entry way, when you first come in.
The bathroom. It will be an adjustment getting used to only having one bathroom. But, it is just our starter home and someday we will hopefully be able to upgrade:) Oh, and I hope to paint it a very light purple. I have to have a little purple in the house guys!
This is the master bedroom. It has a walk-in closet, thank goodness. I LOVE my closet space! I will probably keep this a neutral color since all of my decorations are red.
Bedroom 2. Yeah, the color is outrageous! It may take some work to paint over this one. I would like one room 1/2 brown and 1/2 cream, and the other room a blue or a green.
The back yard, all fenced in, and no we are not getting a dog.
So here are the before pictures of the soon to be "Bond's Home!"

Yay on your first home! It looks so cute from the outside! We'll help with moving your stuff and painting rooms. Though I've never painted before, so maybe you won't want my help :)
Yeah, redo-ing the kitchen looks like a good idea. You need more cabinets, and of course appliances are necessary. But if you ask Josh, he'd say you don't need a dishwasher, cause that's what Brian married you for! ;) He's just kidding of course :)
The bathroom looks like a nice one, and that purple in that room isn't too bad. It matches your blog color :)
Love it! I thought you'd love the purple room! Can't wait to see before and after pictures! Hooray! I'm so excited for ya'll! AND I love the big back yard!
Janelle...can't wait to see your house. I actually love, love, love that purple room! I really like bright bold colors as you'll see when you finally come see our house!

Can't wait to see it in person! The backyard looks nice and big :-) Sounds like you have everything planned out already - hopefully you can get all that painting and other work done before you move in!!
