Current State of Affairs

This past weekend Alex and I had a housewarming party. We were really pleased to know that we can finally host a party for a large group of friends and not worry about space. Our new home is significantly bigger than the condo and that became more evident with this party.
We've decided to host a housewarming party despite the fact that the house isn't quite ready. We arrived to this decision after we realized that it might take us a really long time to finish everything. However, we've done quite a bit around the house, and we're pretty much settled in at this point and its a lot easier to think of this big house as our home.
Here is what we finished in the house in the last 3 months:

· Everything is unpacked and in its right place. No more unopened boxes!
· All closets are properly set up and used accordingly.
· All furniture is assembled and positioned in place.
· Bedroom is painted and is fully functional.
· Office is painted, updated with new hardware and large wall unit is set up and being used.
· 1st floor bathroom is freshly painted and fully functional.
· All doors in the house are painted and have new door handles.

Basically we are totally settled in and are able to enjoy our house. However, there are still a few things that we want to accomplish in the near future:

· Update Master bathroom (new faucets, counter, sink, tub and tiles).
· Upgrade 2nd floor bathroom (new faucets, shower door, counter and sink).
· Remodel the kitchen (new stainless steel appliances, new countertops and cabinetry).
· Paint living/dining room and large staircase.

We hope to have these things complete before my birthday in July.

Here are some photos of what the house looks like right now. Enjoy!
