We're closing on our first house tomorrow. It's an adorable Cape Cod in St. Matthews, less than two miles from Seneca Park and walking or biking distance to almost everything. It's exactly the location we wanted. The house needs some cosmetic updates, but we've already bought 18 gallons of paint to get started on that issue...
The plan is to close tomorrow and immediately begin cleaning and painting. The big move is March 1, so hopefully we'll have dry walls by then!
We stayed with neutral colors, and my favorite is the bedroom color. It's a really chic silvery tan color called Linen. It just makes me want to relax. The other colors so far are tans and greens. We're painting the bedroom, office, bathroom, hall, living room, and dining room, plus the ceilings and trim. Crazy.
As soon as the walls are dry we're going to yank up the old pink and cream office carpet and live with the original hardwood underneath. We're going to put new floors in the kitchen and bath, hopefully sooner than later.
It's good times!
