Now that it's completely final, I can tell you why I was having a stressful week last week and why my posts have been rather spotty the past couple of months.  The Wheelers are now officially home owners!  It was an insane roller coaster ride to buy this freaking house and I am NOT a roller coaster fan.  It was finalized on Friday night so we spent the entire weekend gutting.  It is a dumpy fixer-upper, which is exactly what we wanted.  It's exciting starting with such a blank canvas but also a lot of pressure.  I had a hard enough time choosing white paint... let alone everything else that the house needs!  I'll definitely be posting about steps along the way but allow these to serve as the "before" photos for now~


You can definitely see that the shell of a great house is there... just needs some serious lovin'.  And now the work begins!
