Good for you that you don't have to rush the move so you can do the basic renovations first! Make sure to take lots of those 'before' and 'after' pics like you do :)<BR/><BR/>Still thinking about you all and Zeke all the time. Peter could tell you. We'd be sitting around and out of the blue I sigh Poor Zeke:(. He just pops into my mind a lot--I guess I'm grieving him too.

Sorry that Zeke won't be going with you, but I'm so happy that you have a new home!

This one was a foreclosure so we had to act quickly. It's good that we did, since there was another person from the college who was just about to make an offer when ours was accepted. <BR/><BR/>Now I need to choose paint colors for the entire house! Well, I'll probably keep the dining room red, but I don't know if I'll keep the dark tan ceiling. Other than that room, everything needs to be repainted. Most of the house is beige. So boring and definitely not historically appropriate!Rixahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908864785513937876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-35304146128518474132008-04-09T23:47:00.000-04:002008-04-09T23:47:00.000-04:00Oh, it's fabulous!
