Home Improvements

May 4th, 2010 at 12:09 am

Lots on the posts about home improvement projects. It must be Spring!

One of our projects for the house is replacing all the interior doors from plain plank style and mismatched hardware to very pretty doors and all matching handles. We have already replaced three doors, we have two more that are in the garage (bought while they were on amazing sale!) and we have to special order three more.

So DH says to me last week, "Hey, let's order those other doors and while my dad is here we can get the rest of the doors done." To which I replied, "Are you crazy? I don't want home improvement projects done the first week the new baby is home!!" Not to mention the additional costs.

Poor DH, I think it's just his form of "nesting", because he looked just a little hurt when I told him he was going to have to wait on the doors.

Our house was built in 1955 (good and solid). It is about 1140 sf on about 7000 sf lot. We bought it as a foreclosure. The owners before us had bought it in 2005/2006 for $504,000! Ouch! I really love our cozy little home, but could never see paying that for it. It's in good shape, but it needs some updates and some additional things we think would make it more 'special'. At some point I will post our wish list.

    We are in the nesting phase at our house, too, but we just moved and it's a new apartment so it doesn't lead to a ton of projects to do, improvement-wise. But my wife is still staying plenty busy organizing and trying to have some insurance of making things even cuter for the baby... and our 5-year-old is helping as much as she can, which is so cool. Good luck with everything!
