lets put some fun back into home buying!!!!

buying a home is no doubt very stressful. we get caught up in all the documentation and processes that we forget about all the reasons why we wanted to purchase in the first place. so i just wanted to remind myself and others that this is suppose to be a fun and exciting time in our lives. we're buying houses!

 

so let's have a little fun and relieve some stress at the same time...what is going to be the first thing you do when you move into your new home?

 

my 4 yr old is quite the artist! i have had to paint numerous walls (in rentals) because he likes to draw gigantic pics on the walls.so i'm going to get some chalkboard paint and paint one entire wall in his room so he can draw on the wall! Smiley LOL

I'm going to plant stuff. I loved gardening when I had a house before (it was exhusband's house) and I miss it so much!

purchase and install ceiling fans, a garage door opener, and order my window treatments because i think it's silly to finance something like that for 30 years on a new build.  Besides i can get better quality for a better price at lowes.
