We've officially owned our home for TWO YEARS. It's still in a state of disarray but it has also come so far. We love it.

Just a casual stroll down memory lane.

See all the before photos here.

I surprised Dustin with the bar in the basement. He was actually away being army man when I closed. So it was fun to walk him through the house- OUR house when he got home a couple days later.

Anyway, the bar came with the house, but I told him the sellers had taken it. So he was happy to see it still standing- for his future basement parties. Sitting on the bar was a card that I had purchased the past November at an artist market. I was SO excited I found it and held onto it for so long. It had little keys printed on the cover. I knew someday we'd have a house, and I'd be prepared with the perfect card! Propped up behind the card was a "SOLD" sign. Dustin was bummed the realtors never posted a sold sign out front- like the shows on TV. But this little handmade one came into play five days later...
