Exhausted!! But loving our new home

So Dave and I are officially home owners and can say that we are west siders (West Jordan that is :). After closing on our house on October 9th, we were so excited to actually be contributing to the economy and building equity. We couldn't actually go in until this last friday so last week we were so anxious to just get in and start working on our house. So on Friday we got the keys and took our first walk through the house without all the owners furniture. The owner of the house owns an antique business, selling antiques that is, and his house looked amazing decorated with all his antiques. However, with antiques he had to match a lot of colors, or not match, so every wall was painted and usually every wall was a different color. Here is a little sampling:

This is actually the master bedroom, don't worry this weekend we were able to swiftly make it a very neutral tan/brown color that we now love and will not get a headache from.

This is our front room that is not painted yet, also notice the color of the hallway. Weird colors.

Dave and I were so excited to paint our first wall, so we had to document it. I know, we are a little strange, just so excited to be home owners and to paint our own home and not somebody else's.

I'm a little excited, but you can see the brown color in the back, it looks much better.

Saturday night Dave and I came home exhausted, we had no idea it would be so much work. Yes, all you home owners laughing, we know. We wanted to thank Michelle, Valerie, James, Amanda, and the Lowthers for coming over and helping, we owe you guys big time for spending your busy Saturday helping us paint and clean. We REALLY appreciated your help!! So now that we are exhausted we are starting another week of hopefully getting the house painted so we can move in. Our big moving day is this Saturday and we could REALLY use any help we can get moving our big furniture and the dreaded piano. Hooray for building equity!!!
