Some recent changes....

We have had some recent changes in the Coons Household... We bought a house! The past few days have been spent packing, cleaning and moving. Although not everything is in order, we are almost there.

We bought the home out of foreclosure at the beginning of March and it needed some work, and by some, I mean LOTS! Luckily, I have a very patient and sweet husband who knows a thing or two about home improvement projects. Andy has been working on it since March and after many long days and nights we finally were able to move in. The house was in such bad condition that Andy wouldn't even let me see it until he had ripped out all the carpet, tile, pony walls and bathrooms. Here are a few before pictures:

Since everything isn't moved in just yet I am just going to show a few "Afters" of my favorite parts of the house.... 

 The Kitchen- We made our first dinner tonight: BBQ Chicken, Corn on the cob, rolls and a side salad. Yummo! I LOVED the oven and stove.  

A few details on the kitchen that I love: Subway tile, granite counters, and drawer pulls
The Banister: Andy put this in by himself... it is beautiful and gives the house such an open feeling. 

Here is the Landing Area: I love the hardwood floors, all the doors, and the baseboards.

Those are all the pictures for now... coming soon are the bathroom before and after. We are so excited to have a place we can call home. I am never moving again because I do not like the moving process so I guess it's a good thing I love this house so much!
