Mommy and Daddy have been very busy these few months. We decided to sell our 1600 sqft home with tiny yard built in 1999 and buy a bigger home and huge yard built in 1964. The new "old" home is 2855 sqft with about 1500 sqft unfinished basement. The lot is about 1.2 acres vs. 0.16 acres we had in previous home. So we got huge space for kids to play and run around. But the house itself needs a lot of work. Previous homeowner who was a judge has been living in the house for 47 years since it was built. He passed away in 2011 and house has been empty since then. The interior is quite outdated and wall paper was almost everywhere. We even have one side of master bedroom wall covered with mirror. We also get pink and green bathrooms and very 60s look kitchen. Grandparents Zeigler have been working very hard to help us to get all bedrooms ready to live in. We made very good progress on cleaning and painting. The next projects will be updating kitchen, bathroom etc.
But here are some before and after pictures of the rooms we have torn the wall paper and painted.
Some rooms in after pictures were not completely done as we still needed to put register cover on and clean up and move the ladders :). Both kids had a little hard time to adjust on the first night especially Aiden. He kept saying he wanted to go home at the first night as he has been living in the other house for 3.5 years and in his mind, that is HIS home.
