We finally moved

Welcome to our house which in time we hope to turn into our home. We bought a 1950 3 bedroom two bath in sunny Sacramento, CA. Its a perfect starter home for our small family, we got really lucky it was one of the first homes we saw. We fell in love with the yard  and that it was  a corner home, we like a lot of out door space. We have a lot to do even though this house was flipped, the yard needs a lot of work its a blank space, the fence needs to be replaced, it needs central AC and heat and other small things. So we have our work cut out for us. We are sooo happy to finally be moved in right now i’m just unpacking organizing the stuff we brought from our apartment going through things we are going to keep, donate or throw away. Our first project will be to replace the fence on the side of the house and extend it a little.

Of course I will keep you guys updated on all our home projects.

 

The garage was turned into a master suit so we have two huge sheds in the back yard

Entry the entire house interior was painted a beige color on camera comes out kind of yellowish works for now, but we will eventually be painting the different rooms. Not sure what colors yet.

The Blue house Chronicles

Julian and I have finally decided its time to buy our first home. We are just about outgrowing our apartment we have been in for almost 3 years. The little ones need more space especially a yard to run wild and free, and i’m sure our two chihuahuas wouldn’t mind either. So of course I have been OBSESSED with looking at decorating ideas. We found a home last week it was the second home we looked at and put in an offer. It was just accepted, so we should be home owners within the next 30 days. We really were not expecting a smooth fast process like this like at all. I have friends who have been looking and biding house after house and still no luck. Apparently the real estate market has been picking up,we thought that was just here in the bay area, but apparently in Sacramento also. Oh yeah forgot to mention we are moving back to Sacramento. Its time and have you seen house prices in the east bay we would be lucky enough to even find something and it would most likely be a fixer upper for like $300,000. No thank you! and I do miss Sacramento my family and my friends.
Back to decorating since its our first house we wanted to start off with something small and cozy with a big yard and we were luck enough to find just that. I love gallery walls at the moment in our apartment we have a little gallery behind our big couch a mix of family photos and Jons artwork ( I swear its taking over the house) all in black frames. I should have just took a picture, and by my desk I have framed fashion drawing that I just printed from online in black frames also.While searching I found that the easiest way to decide how you want to arrange your photos is by tracing the frame on paper and than taping the paper or you can use contact paper on the wall until you find the way you would like your frames arranged. I’m not sure yet what i’ll be doing in the new place still have to think about it, but of course ill post photos.

*These photos do not belong to me I found them searching online and have links to where I found them.
