Back in December, James became a home owner! He bought a great 3 bed room, 2 bath house in Brookhaven. The house has so much potential and James has been working so hard to fix up the house before I move in. Here are a few pictures of the house as it is currently:
I don't have a ton of pictures of the inside, but as you can see, he totally lucked out with a renovated kitchen. Some of the items on our to do list are:
- Master Bath Remodel
- Paint Exterior
- New Roof/Gutters
- New Windows
- Paint Hall Bathroom
- Paint Third Bedroom
- Landscape
- Build a Shed in the Backyard
One of the big items on our list, is a Master Closet Remodel, which James is currently working on. There was a narrow walk-in connected to the master originally, but James' clothes filled the entire thing. In anticipation of me moving in after the wedding, James knew he would have to make room for my ridiculously large wardrobe all of my things. There was a random little office area adjacent to the current closet that James and his "House Remodeling Consultant" (aka my Dad) decided they could enclose to extend the current closet. Once complete, the master closet will be about 8 foot by 10 foot. I am so excited for my our new closet!! I am so glad that James is handy and so far has been able to do all of the work himself! He has really impressed me with his DIY skills. He even taught himself to be an electrician! When he told me he was going to just "teach himself" how to wire the closet I must admit that I was slightly concerned. I think I asked him ten times if the power was turned off and when he didn't answer a phone call a few hours later I may or may not have driven over to his house to make sure he hadn't electrocuted himself. Having help from my Dad has been great also. My Dad has completely renovated the home I grew up in, so he has a good bit of experience. Here are a few pictures of the closet remodel:
In it's most recent state, the closet now has four sheetrocked walls, which is exciting! The next steps are to finish "mudding" the sheet rock, paint the walls, and then choose a closet organization system. We want to make sure we utilize the space to it's fullest potential. Here are is an example of a completely organized, immaculate closet (I'm sure ours will look EXACTLY like this all the time...ha!):
Stay tuned for my next posts as we continue to transform "the bachelor pad"- I will be sharing our color palettes, both for the house and the wedding!
