South Bound



So we've been very busy in the last few months selling our house in North Austin, buying a new house in South Austin, and moving all our stuff into it. We are really settling in, and we love the new house so far. We've made a number of changes, and it's amazing how different the house looks from when we first bought it. Here is a list of the changes we have made:

  • Tore out old (and pet stained) carpets; replaced with wood floors (downstairs) and new carpet (upstairs)
  • Purchased a refrigerator
  • Purchased a table for the breakfast area
  • Cut down a dead tree in the back yard (thanks to Brandi's dad)
  • Took down curtains
  • Repainted the study and dining room (thanks to Brandi's parents)
  • Repainted most of the living room (thanks to Brandi's parents)
  • Spackled and touched up paint in the rest of the house, after an arduous color matching process
  • Got a gently used bed for the guest bedroom upstairs (thanks to Daniel's parents)
  • Replaced all downstairs door hardware
  • Installed two ceiling fans upstairs
  • Purchased a sectional for the living room
Daniel worked hard, can you tell?




Here's a few before and after pictures of the house:
