Extreme Home Makeover

Okay, so maybe extreme isn't the word I should be using here, but makeover none-the-less. In this current economy, despite both of us having good jobs, we still feel like it is a good move to stay put. When we bought our home a little more than 3.5 years ago, we estimated we would be here for 3-5 years, then move on. But, as said above, in this current economy it is really nice to have a cheap mortgage. Plus, we like our house, we like our neighbors, we like our location (despite being on the edge of a kind of sketchy area). So, I think we're going to stick around for a little while. Once we decided we weren't going anywhere, we decided it was time for a few small changes. We took all the carpet off the stairs and now have hardwood stairs (which need to be re-finished at some point). Tomorrow a guy is coming to measure for new carpet upstairs, yay! We bought new bedding and curtains for our bedroom and we bought a water softener that still needs to be installed. Next on the list is a shed for the backyard. We are becoming quite the handy little homebodies, or I should say really that Matt is becoming quite handy, though I help as able. Speaking of helping, I need to go make some dinner, then clear some more area for the measure guy. Maybe I should post some before and after pictures on here, that might be fun!
