Yep, we bought a house today. This lovely home has been a bachelor pad for years and needs a lot of TLC. The owner hasn't been able to care for it the way he wants to so sold it to us for very little. We can't move in for about 4-6 months while the place is completely overhauled. It needs the foundation fixed up, the roof replaced, walls and ceilings restructured and then the cosmetic fun. We are excited to pick out carpet, lighting fixtures and paint. I am excited to plant flowers in the front of the house and a little garden in the back.
The house was built in 1916 and is one of the oldest homes here in town. It has all the original wood work in the home. As you can tell the house needs a lot of love and creativity. It will be fun to get some personality in and decorate it up.
I LOVE the stairs and am excited they are still in such good condition.
I do have one question for my readers....What color should we paint the outside of the house? We have until spring to decide. It will be one of the last things done, but just curious what you think we should paint the house...Sierra says Pink, what do you think?

Personally, I like the traditional since it is such an old home. White with black or steal trim. Classic but also shows everything. It looks like you'll have a lot of work ahead of you. Keep us posted and hopefully your baby is doing well.
