House Progress

We bought our house last April when I was about three months pregnant. It didn't take us too long to realize that we had overcommitted-- time-wise, money-wise, energy-wise. It was really an honest mistake. We had no idea what "fixer-upper" meant, or what having a baby would be like. We thought we'd tear up some carpet, slap on some paint, and  be good to go. Not exactly how it works, even less so when you have no free time and are running on five broken hours of sleep. 

It has felt like every project has some fun twist in the plot (More money! More time! Do you really need a working toilet?!), but we have persevered. Matt deserves a gold medal for his efforts, and it is really starting to pay off. The end is near. There are a few projects left... mostly small ones, but a couple bigger ones.  I'm not sure of our future in this house, but I am sure that it has been quite the learning experience. 

Anyways, here are some pictures of where we started and where we are now. I'll post more as things keep improving!
