Our First House - curb appeal

This is a peak at our home.


For any of you who follow our blog you may have read that
we have been very busy getting our home ready to sell.

Well we are finally listed!  Yeah!


While this home was only ever meant to be our "starter home."
It is a little bitter sweet.  We have all the little projects done and
are finally able to enjoy it!  We spent the last 3 years
(okay, so maybe most of it was crammed into the last three months)
updating our little cottage that could. 
We painted, painted, painted, refinished all flooring,
added a little curb appeal, planted lots of flowering shrubs
 (I am obsessed with Hydrangeas),
and.....did I mention PAINTED
and finally did a little decorating to finish it off.


I thought I would share with you our exterior before and afters.
We didn't do much to the exterior....just added a little welcoming touch.

So, whatta ya think?

We had our first open house last Sunday.
Wish us luck! 
We buried our St. Joseph statute and said our prayers!

We our moving back to our home town of LeClaire, Iowa.
We currently are in the area and only about 15 minutes away.



our next project
So long as St. Joseph brings luck our way this little beauty will be our next project.
Get ready folks!  This ones in need of some MAJOR TLC!
We are talking full scale remodel....GUT JOB.....maybe an addition on the back
the WHOLE enchilada!

We hope you'll join us on this crazy journey!
