I know you are all just besides yourselves waiting for pictures of the house. Well, wait no more, at least for before pictures. Mircea and I have been hard at work repairing, painting, cleaning, etc. So I'll have some after pictures pretty soon to share as well. I'll start the photo tour with the good, but it gets pretty ugly pretty quickly (but nothing a little paint can't fix).
Supporting our teams. Go Colts!
The view from the front of the house. You can see the Chesapeake Bay from the house and we can see more and more everyday as the leaves fall. I'll take it!
The fireplace...I'd already started priming the room.
In a sad turn of events, I hadn't started priming this room. We think they ran out of paint while they were painting it. Love the pink carpet too. The previous owner had two little girls.
Mircea should be ashamed of this picture. It doesn't show that gorgeous Bratz doll wall border on the wall. I'll retake that one later so you can see. It's crazy.
The dining room. Which we will use approx 1x a year, but it's nice to have the space. I had a blast steam cleaning all of the carpet. And it still needs replaced, but alas, I'd need a second job to afford that.
The master bath. My favorite room in the house. It's about the size of our old master bedroom so we definitely appreciate all the room that we have. It also has a two person soaking tub, and Mircea actually got it to work. So we used it once...but man if it didn't take so much hot water I'd be in there daily!
A not so exciting picture of the master. I told Mircea he is fired as photographer. Chantelle, wanna come over?
The kitchen, a total mess b/c it was cleaning central.
The living room, which is actually our office because what the heck would we do with a formal living room. It's nice to have the big office space too.
Well, that's all I have. The after pictures will be slightly more exciting, and I'm sure this is just so thrilling for everyone, but I'm so happy to get to share this experience with my friends. I thank you for all your support through this roller coaster ride (and the many I seem to allow myself to be a part of) and listening to me vent. You're the best, and there's a hot pink guest room with your names on it!

Kate, even in this "work in progress" stage, the house is gorgeous. Congratulations to you both.
:)
Kate, the house looks wonderful - even with the work that needs to be done. Dying at that pink and purple bedroom! Can't imagine why you'd want to change that. I can't believe that you can see the bay from you home - post more photos of the view! Congrats again, Kate. I'm very happy for you!
It looks like a great house! It is actually a good thing that you HAVE to do so much repainting and cleaning, that way the house will eventually be just how YOU want it!
Can't imagine why you wouldn't keep the Bratz wall border. Seriously??
