Caution...Wet Paint!

January 2008, a few months before we tied the knot, I got the "idea" that we should move and upgrade. We bought our townhouse in April 2005 and it was the perfect starter home! We absolutely loved the house, area and how close it was to near by shopping centers. However, I just felt we were outgrowing our space and wanted to start our married life in a single family home. With some convincing to Rob, we contacted a real estate agent and started the process. The house hunting didn't take long, in fact we only looked at 3 houses. House #3 seemed to be the perfect fit for us. The previous owners had very 'interesting' taste, but Rob and I could see through cosmetic changes and thought this would be a good fit. Just over two years later, we are still making house improvements and taking it room by room. Time and money are the two biggest reasons it has taken us so long. Just this past weekend, the most recent project was fixing up our office. Rob ripped out the hideous blue carpet and put down hardwood floors and painted over the yellow sponge paint. Lexi also contributed to the process as well. During a break of improving the office, Rob re-painted our dining room window ledge (because of a chewing accident by Porscha). Rob walked away from the room and when he came back, there was white paint all over the floor and paw prints on the window ledge. Poor Lexi! We wiped her off and threw her in the bath ASAP. The funny part was he fixed the paw prints and she did it again later that night! I will post photos of the house in future blogs to show the "before and after."
