fidgets last blog post..15 weeks

WOW, that is a great house for a very SWEET price. Love the nature! Wouldn’t earth tone paint colors just tie in so perfectly with the outside.

Ohhh the possibilities!

Lauras last blog post..Round Up Winners and this month’s motivation!

Holy heck. And I thought OUR market was low.

My favorite neutral is White Hyacinth from Sherwin Williams. It’s a shade of white but there’s yellow to it so it’s warm – which is really nice when it’s cold outside.

So much space! That looks amazing. Congratulations!

Crystals last blog post..If Only For a Moment

That is a really nice place! Congratulations. We bought our first home when we moved from CA to IA (Iowa).

Enjoy it! It’s a lot of work!

Only Amans last blog post..An update – it’s about time

Congrats!!!! I sincerely hope the basement isn’t lined with velvet on the walls ;0

What you’re really going to love is letting this house feel like ‘home’ over time.

Joe @ IrrationalDads last blog post..The apple doesn’t fall far…

You should look for giveaways/sweepstakes on appliances – what could it hurt? (OK, it might not be Electrolux, but they are laying off another 150 people in their Webster City, Iowa, plant, so I don’t feel like promoting them so much.)

Here’s one to get you started: http://www.mymotherload.net/ (Frigidaire appliances).

CaySedais last blog post..Sparkly crown without messy glitter (craft)

That looks great! (well, the colors are a little … yeah … but paint is easy to fix)

I’m so happy for you and your nature!

Genies last blog post..Like hemming a bicycle

Wicked.

We back onto Crown (Government) land, so I hear your excitement about the nature.

WHEEEEEEEE!

Angellas last blog post..I’m In Love

Under, did you say UNDER 110k??? Where?? House for sale down the street?? I will come!! ;) Wow…the house is gorgeous and nature-ahhh you gotta love that!!
Congrats!!!

SPOILED MOMMYs last blog post..Fix-It #16 – Sweet Grin

Despite the HIDEOUS paint all over, it’s A FREAKING AWESOME HOUSE!!! Congrats!! Paint colors all depend on your furniture, but nature colors are always a hit in my book.

That same house in backwater Canada would cost $700K +
I could cry now.
Can I move to the States and be your neighbor?

PrincessJenns last blog post..Friday Funny: Font Conference

Under $110K? I guess they had to lower the asking price due to the whole red/white/blue and mint/peach color extravaganza.

It looks so open and light and homey. Congrats!

Shannons last blog post..Geek Jokes Turn Me On

110K gets you ghetto with gang bangers here. Just another reason to Indy–your money will go muuuuuch further. Hurrah, and congrats.

Wow! Under $110K? I live in Indiana, and don’t know where I’d get that for under $110K!

Congrats! It looks awesome! Well, it will once you’re done painting and all!

punkinmamas last blog post..shrink it

WHeeeeeeeee!!!!! You get to paint your OWN. HOUSE!!!!! You get to have a YARD. With grass. (and SPRINKLERS, if you were asking my little girl) Oh, and I so covet those Electrolux appliances right along with you. MAYBE you can find stuff with small dings or something in them and get um’ for cheap?? At any rate, SUPER happy for you and your new house! Sad to not have you in our ward soon. :(

Hooooray!!! The paint job is indeed, horrifficcc. I’m so happy for you!

Reeses last blog post..Best Friends! Day Two

In that case … check out Sherwin-Williams, they have a visualizer so you can see the colors in a room & even change the trim colors. http://www.sherwin.com/visualizer/

Some of the ones I liked: Sticks & Stones; Harmonic Tan; Baize Green; Koi Pond; Refuge

Go to town, moosh lady!

[Long-time lurker here]

Congratulations on your new house!! $110k for that gorgeous house?? No way!! (But then again, I do live in CA…)

Perhaps some sage green/medium-ish blue/chocolate brown for colors? Don’t know if that’s too dark for you or not, but it’s what I’d go for. :)

wahoo! Congrats! That is freakin’ awesome…with wide open spaces (singing like the Dixie Chicks).
I am surprised that you don’t like the red/blue combo on the baseboards. ;) Who does that honestly?

Evonces last blog post..lessons to be learned.

Love the layout, Casey. And you got a screaming deal – was it a short sale or foreclosure? The layout is good – can’t wait to see what you do with paint, floor coverings, light fixtures, faucets, etc. Putting some $$$ and love into it will be so good for the place.

Nice start! I bet you are seriously excited.

Your wanna-be friend….

SaWeet!!!!!! Woohoo AND Woot-Woot!!!

Nice! Congrats, can’t wait to see the pictures once you’ve cleaned it up to your liking and added the awesome appliances. And some new paint, of course!

Amazing Greiss last blog post..It’s my Blogaversary! 1 year down, many more to go…

Congratulations! It is beautiful!

I am completely jealous and in awe! Congrats. With a little paint and elbow grease it will be gorgeous!

Meaghans last blog post..TV Watchers

I’d move for that. Nicely done, Casey.

Mr Ladys last blog post..So I’m Sayin’ You Have A Chance

Congratulations! That is super exciting! Casey haz house! Forget the paint (although, seriously, WTF?) because that is a great house!

Barb @ getupandplays last blog post..Charlie-10 weeks

ok, listen to me carefully as I can explain those colors….

First of all, you need to do a quick search through a page or two of my blog and see the beautiful pumpkin orange that is my family room. Yes, I am not kidding. Pumpkin Orange. My mom’s kitchen is like crimson red like Alabama Crimson Tide Red – and you know, colors have equals so I was looking for the Auburn Orange not that I am an Auburn fan AT ALL, but I wanted that color of orange….

I got pumpkin orange. And, then…………I was broke and couldn’t afford to buy more paint so we had to just say to hell with it and make it work….

Fast forward to painting my children’s rooms. They are Mickey Mouse themed and they have these gorgeous yellow and blue walls and omg, please don’t have a heartattack but they make the dolphin room look really nice….but guess what….that was long ago and we figure the kids will want to pick our their own colors soon so we are just leaving them Mickey Mouse Yellow and Blue until which time they decide what they want….

back up a little more and there was the time my husband decided to paint the bathroom while I was gone somewhere as a surprise – he started with mint green and added a sea blue wall for effect

and surely I needn’t say anymore and you are feeling all well and good about your colors…hehehehe

And what a doggone gorgeous house! Congrats.

Maybe I am your neighbor! Just kidding, I live in Indiana, but our nature doesn’t look that good out our back door. The house looks amazing (if you don’t focus on the paint colors) love all the space. My favorite neutral color is “New Penny”. It’s a rosy beige. Love it. Welcome Home!
Michele

First, consider what colors you like best, and what *sets* of colors. Clearly not pastel, and you mocked the brights too. Soft neutrals? Desert mutes? Earth tones? Go look at lots of paint strip samples at a store.

Since you’re adoring the Nature (I do too) then you might consider taking palettes from that. Forests are shades of green and brown touched with yellow; through your windows are lots of greens. A beach might be shades of cream and tan accented with light green, turquoise, and pink. A prairie is grass green, bright sky blue, white clouds, dotted with flower colors. Mountains are cool greys and whites with some dark green trees. Any of those can suggest ideas.

Also think about functions. A bedroom should be restful, so cool or earthy colors are good. Kitchens and living rooms benefit from livelier energy and warmer, brighter colors. A rec room can be bold and snazzy.

Just for comparison, my living room is done in forest shades: green shag carpet, wood paneling partway up the walls, and furniture in browns and a deep leafy blue-green. My office has ivory walls with light wood trim, variegated carpet in gold and orange tones, and a braided wall hanging in hot colors. Blue is my favorite color, so I use it a lot, but for my work space I want a bright high energy.

Elizabeth Barrettes last blog post..Photos from My New Camera

CONGRATS! It’s a.maz.ing. Well, aside from the peach. And who in their right mind puts red and turquoise together?!? Seriously!

Chibi Jeebss last blog post..Meme Monday (Tuesday)

Congrats!

What is up with the half finished paint jobs (or at least it looks like!) from the previous owners!

and WOW under $110K! That is a bargain…the house looks pretty new….

Brianas last blog post..Walgreens Deals 6/7 to 6/13

Congratulations on your first house! How freakin’ exciting. Seriously. I’m so excited for you to make this your home.

Sarah Violas last blog post..Pure Joy

Congrats. It looks so good, and you have a yard!

I’m with you on the paint and the carpet though. I have floorboards right throughout my place – and warm slippers – with a built-in vac which is the next best thing to Jesus, and my family, and …

You have been so blessed, I pray you have so much fun and many happy memories in that place – once you get rid of the nightmare-inducing colors :)

I’m so excited for you guys… It’s beautiful. I can’t wait to come see it in person.

Olivia Singletons last blog post..I think it’s reasonable to assume…

Congratulations! We just moved into a brand new apartment so I know that the excitement is almost too much.

And the walls. WOW. A whole different kind of amazing than the moving thing.

Good luck!

Overflowing Brains last blog post..Living the dream

Oh it’s adorable! And holy great bargain. Yeah those paint colors are fantastically awful- what is WRONG with people???

i want to be your neighbor! the houses we are looking at in toronto? 700k. BOO.

also? our house was built in the 80s…almost every single room looked like it was straight out of Miami Vice. heh.

congratulations. i am sooooo happy for you!

alis last blog post..GREAT SCOTT!

Looks fabulous – except I seriously want to know what color blind person painted all those rooms? That’s just crazy…

Maybe I’ll move in down the street – it looks like we just sold our house!

ClassyFabSarahs last blog post..Little Debbie Lies

Congrats…It is soo exciting! I hope you get the appliances of your dreams.

Congrats. Many, many, many congrats on your new place Casey.

OHmommys last blog post..Now (kind of) opened for playdates

Congratulations! That’s awesome! Besides the need for a paint job, your new house is beautiful! And nature is always soooo yum.

tutugirl1345s last blog post..Hawaii!

Congratulations! What were they thinking with those colors???!!! Enjoy it all!

well i would love to be your neighbor! just promise me that the house down the street has the same awesome paint job and i’ll take it! mint green and peach was how my apartment was decorated in college! i’ll feel 19 again!

natalies last blog post..an explanation

HOLY CRAP. You got a HUGE house for not a lot of money!

I will help you come paint. I have painted my whole house. You let me know when you want me and we’ll work it out. ;) Gorgeous house!! I am so happy for you Casey!

Congrats on the new house! I wish I was there to help paint, I LOVE to paint :) Have fun shopping for new appliances too, that is something I wish I could do.

Nicoles last blog post..What’s Going On This Weekend

That house is BEAUTIFUL! YAY!!! (Um, well, yeah. Except for the paint. But you already knew that… WHO exactly thinks that red and blue with matching alternating trim colors is a GOOD idea? WHO???)

Zs last blog post..who am i kidding?

Under $110K? Are you serious? We’re looking for a new house right now and will have to spend around $275K for one just a bit bigger than yours! Indiana, here we come!

sweet! and for that price, what’s a little painting, right? right?!?

mommymaes last blog post..what we love about daddyjay

I LOVE the red and blue upstairs!!!!

So. Freaking. THRILLED. for you guys.

And darn, housing is reasonable in Indy. All that and you bake?? I think we may be moving to your ‘hood.

Chicky Chicky Babys last blog post..I Spy – mornings

NICE! I wish I could be your neighbor casey.

They did THAT to the game room, and left the master beige?!?

Enjoy having your very own home!

Beckys last blog post..Ohawk

HOLY COW!! For that price you wouldnt even be able to get a trailer where i live!!

Congrats to you!!

jens last blog post..She’s crazy, but i love her.

Moosh, congrats on your new very spacious home! How exciting for you and your fam. Your persistence and patience paid off.
Your home is a great example of the tremendous home values here in Indy. Thanks for all of the illustrations!

Diane Brookss last blog post..Just Reduced to $349,000 – 4617 Bayberry Lane

Of the dolphin room my 5-year-old said, “Ooo! It’s colorful!”

I guess that’s one way to describe it.

Congrats Casey!

I know the house hunt was a very well…interesting one. The new house looks great!

ashleys last blog post..Don’t Forget

SO happy for you! SO depressed for me. Nor Cal, 910 sq ft., 240K. But we do love it here….

Wow! that is awesome.

Midwest Mommys last blog post..Forever or until I change my mind?

I love your new home! The backyard totally makes it.

Congrats Moosh Family!

Rheas last blog post..Everyone’s mom wants to have an Alpaca farm, right?

Yay for you!!! Congrats woman. That paint… I’m sorry. We just repainted our house. We did kind of an avacado-ish green and dark chocolate brown (which I’m not gonna lie, sometimes makes me want to lick my walls) in the living room, and a banana type yellow in the kitchen and down the hall. I love it. Good luck in the new casa!

Cassies last blog post..The Many Faces of Alyssa

It looks incredible, crazy paint colors and all. Congratulations!!! I’d move in a heart beat if it were anywhere near NYC.
Ah nature… I wake up to pounding neighbors, garbage taken out at midnight, dog owners walking their barking dogs and a ton of traffic on 1st Ave. Ah nature!

Oh yay! Beautiful house! Or at least it will be when you switch out those horrifying paint choices!

This is my favorite “hot color” forecast post. Fun palette! http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/colortherapy/colortherapy-color-forecast-2009-074343

Heidis last blog post..I Need Advice

Congratulations, Casey! The space, the nature, the possibilities! Picking out paint colors is my all time favorite home improvement projects. Have fun – and make you stock up on the primer. I think you’re going to need it for those red and blue walls. Yikes.

the mrs.s last blog post..He Must Have Followed Me Home

oooh. Gosh, I am so jealous right now. One year out of law school and we are STILL renting a MODULAR! ahhhhh. Congrats, it’s a beauty!

Jennifers last blog post..On losing 10 pounds.

It looks so lovely, besides the colors which look like jello. Upstairs, that’s cherry and blue raspberry. Downstairs is the anemic orange they give you in the hospital.

We’re in Chicagoland and the home values down there are almost enough to make me want to move to Indy. ;o)

Congratulations!!!

Jamies last blog post..Summer Day 1 plus some Link Love

I’m coming to visit ASAP!

perksofbeingmes last blog post..Goldenrod Locks and creativity

I’m so envious I can barely type. My husband is upstairs packing our bags so we can get the heck out of California. We’ll be your neighbors!

Take heart though, when we bought this house there were no less than nine different bold pain colors on the walls. They’re all GONE.

Mama Bubs last blog post..Two

So not fair. For a bit less than my down payment, you’ve gone and bought an entire house exactly (give or take 4 sq feet) TWICE the size of mine.

Oh, Los Angeles, how I hate you sometimes.

I will get over my jealousy however to tell you that your house? Looks AMAZING! And while painting SUCKS (which I can say with authority having painted the interior of my entire house a couple months back – it was full of peach walls too for some reason?) it will make things look SO much better than you even can imagine it might.

OH I love it! Even with the crazy colors! Guest room for Steph & Ivy in there some where?

Steph

Adventures In Babywearings last blog post..Mawiage

I would in a sec…your house is mucho humungouser than mine. Love that for you…you will be SO happy. I wish I could come help you paint…it is going to be a pain in the @$$ to paint over that red…oi…I can’t wait to see it in real life. I wish I could move down the street, would in a heartbeat! I love your house tho…it is perfect! CONGRATS!

Kimmies last blog post..Touched.

Congratulations! Nicely done.

Just Shireens last blog post..You have never been older than you are today

Congratulations! I’m so excited for you! It’s going to be beautiful when you get it all done!!

Brees last blog post..Consumed by a Poppyseed

Congratulations!! Great house and you’ve gotta love nature in your backyard. I know I do!! Enjoy!

Jills last blog post..The story of me and my GXB

Um, that is a seriously nice first home there chika!

My home had the baseboards painted crazy colors too. I spent a LOT of time carefully painting them back to a normal trim color!

Congrats! It is beautiful!!

Woah. For that price the walls could be puce. Sa-weet, lady!
Congrats!

Must be Motherhoods last blog post..Trouble

Congratulations Moosh! Love the Christmas tree. I shake my head at the color scheme. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Can’t wait to see “after” pictures.

Crazy Mos last blog post..Red Ball Project – June 5, 2009

What the …??? Under $110K. Good buy!

Beckys last blog post..A Day for Good News.

beautiful house for a beautiful deal (minus the colors, they should have paid you to take that house with those colors!)

kriss last blog post..Give me your best shot…

Wow, congratulations! It’s beautiful!! I know you will absolutely love all the space!!!!!

Bethanys last blog post..Sunny Saturday

2900 sq ft?
110K????
SO SICK WITH ENVY!!!
I am in love with your yard. I just showed the Husband your new home, and the price….he thinks we should move and be your new neighbours.

Skyes last blog post..Happy Birthday!

Wow!!! As someone who is ACTIVELY trying to sell her house, I can not BELIEVE anyone would have those colors in a house they were trying to sell. Egads! But, wow what a steal–2900 sq. ft for under 110k?? The house looks fabulous (well you know once you get rid of the um, questionable color choices). Congratulations!!!!!!!

Chriss last blog post..Does it really get easier?

Totally awesome, my friend, totally! I say go for a bold punch of color here and there, but over all neutrals. I know,I am so very helpful. If I knew hubs would move & we could sell our house I would so be there. All you had to say was “moosh bakes and less than 110K”

xoxo

Domestic Extraordinaires last blog post..Sixteen things

Being from the Indy area myself… that price is WELL below market value! Just so no one thinks that is a typical Indiana home price!

Eternal Lizdoms last blog post..Friday Frustration- Wooden Playset Edition

Casey, it’s gorgeous! GORGEOUS!! I am in awe of the space and openness and lighting and YARD and NATURE!

My first house had hot pink, fuschia, burgundy, blue, navy, olive, yellow and wood walls.
fer realz. All sort of mixed in together in random rooms. It hurt to walk in there.

I found a cafe’ au lait kindd of color that I loved and painted in most rooms, pale yellow in bebe room, butter in bathroom etc….

GWAGEOUS!! cannot wait!! YIPPPEEEEE

Congrats to you and your family Casey!! I am so happy for you and cant wait to see the love you guys put into that place!

clinks last blog post..eighteen.

Congrats, Casey! A little paint solves everything!

Yay for nature!!!

P.S. I’m planning my flight for September after you’ve moved in. I miss you so very much.

sam {temptingmama}s last blog post..Skeletons in the Closet

Oh and P.S.?

That Electrolux Virtual Laundry Tour? That’s what my new laundry room will look like in my new house. Except, no office beside the washer… a folding table instead.

*swoon*

sam {temptingmama}s last blog post..Skeletons in the Closet

For an unbelievably low price like that, I’d have taken the teal and scarlet house, too!

Good luck picking a whole new palette for your new home!

Merediths last blog post..Make A Wildflower Centerpiece

We love our house that backs up to Indiana nature too! The red walls are the only barable ones. What were these people thinking?

I would buy it for that. Here in Western Washington it would cost $300-$400K for a place like that. I’m so jealous.

For reference: half that house goes for triple that price, and I’m not even in urban Toronto.

Do they need engineers in Indy?

SciFi Dads last blog post..What Do You Want For Your Children?

oh my god i almost bought your house but it was in north carolina and i loved it just as much–for real–THE SAME HOUSE. must be the same builders. anywhoo–damn you mortgage company!!! :(
congratulations!

Wow – what a smokin’ deal! Congratulations on your new house. You’ll have to show us the after painting pictures. It’ll be like our own little blog version of HGTV. :>

Congrats on the casa! If you ever need someone that lives only 4 hours away from Indy to come visit (*cough* me *cough*), just let me know.

Amanda of Shamelessly Sassys last blog post..Casanova

So. jealous.
We just found out that we can’t even afford an 1100 sq ft super fixer upper house. Sucks.
Wish we could move in down the street from you!

Kristas last blog post..Water Slides!

Congratulations! I’m very jealous, and if only you were somewhere in northern Illinois, I just might consider moving in down the street, at those prices.

Just think, a year from now, your new carpet will be filled with YOUR old toenails! Enjoy!

LiteralDans last blog post..Arsonist Bridezilla drags victims from burning safehouse

It’s BEAUTIMUS! And Oh WOW! Wide open spaces with lots of liiiight! I love!

Know what else I love? Sending house-warming gifts!!! Need that address of yours when you move in lady!

Oh! And please post lots of pictures of your Electrolux appliances! I’ll just oogle of yours and dream and get incredibly green with envy!

it’s so big! and beautiful! and that yard totally kicks my yards rear!

paint-smaint. I will help make you lovey. I have the biggest paint chip set in the city.

DesignHER Mommas last blog post..It’s more than just Me and my Laptop

Under $110k WOW! I could totally be up for living there.

It is a great house.

I can not believe the color choices. YIKES!

Nature is a huge plus. That back yard is going to be fun!

The Bossy Yankees last blog post..Hospitals and Siblings…

Wow Casey! It’s so huge! I can totally picture you guys there. I smell a road trip in August – Sam & I can help you move! Woot!

Congratulations on the house Casey! It’s always exciting buying and setting up your first house.

Some people shouldn’t be allowed to paint:)lol Fantastic find and greenery over dumpster and parking lot when you wake up – BONUS!!

Yay! I’m so excited for y’all. Seriously, SO FREAKIN EXCITED!

We move July 17th, and let me just tell you, the paint disaster we’re facing? WORSE. Oh, yes, it is. In good time I will share the joys of buying a home that someone else couldn’t afford to finish painting. Half blood red walls? We haz them.

Burgh Babys last blog post..Fortunately, She’s Cute with Her Mouth Open

WOW! So beautiful! Congrats on being a homeowner! Under 110K? We need to move to Indy!

Colleens last blog post..SHUSH Mama!

Dd you say that house is under $110K??

Ok I need to move to Indy if you can get that for under 110K.

But the paint? Priceless.

Enjoy! New home ownership is so exciting. Expensive, but exciting.

Michelle Smiless last blog post..Chickpea Salad

Congratulations, Casey!!! That house is beautiful under all that paint. So much space! Such a huge backyard! It might not be perfect, this part of the country we live in, but the housing is sure affordable :)

Elizabeths last blog post..Photo Post: Fun With S’mores

Hooray! I’m so glad you’ve found a place to call home! You’ve worked so hard for this! As for the red & blue decor upstairs, I can only apply typical Hoosier logic and say that the former owners wanted to show their allegiance to IU as well as the Colts…this explains but does not justify the behavior, haha. Every time I run through the connecting neighborhoods of my parents’ IN home, I see that very same natural view…and miss it. Can’t wait to see how you put the Casey touch on it! (Oh, and if you’re looking for tile ideas, I can send you to my dad). Your readership expects an invite to the housewarming!

Ok, I am in Avon, 4 bedrooms, big yard… 5oo less square feet, WAY HIGHER PRICE! Then again… no pastel walls and opposites attract floor boards. Then again… for 110… I’d paint too!

Domestic Goddess (In Training)s last blog post..Scientific Proof

Yay!!!

xox

LOVE IT! CONGRATS!

May I suggest a natural color on the walls – we painted our living room sage green and it looks GREAT.

amelioratemes last blog post..Lyrical genius

Oh, I wish!!! (We’re still stuck in the “we must sell our duplex before buying a new house” holding pattern. BOO.)

I had a pro graphic desginer friend help me pick out the paint for our current dining room – “Clay Pebble” from Behr. Its an AWESOME greenish color without being too “green-y” in case you’re looking for a great color. ;-)

Colleen – Mommy Always Winss last blog post..Rainbows and unicorns

HOLY CRAP! That price is a steal!

And at least the previous owners were consistant with their sucky paint selections, hurl.

Holy crap. Under 110K? When we were looking two years ago our goal was to get under 500K which meant a fixer-upper.
Beautiful new house you got yourselves!! Very exciting!

You left out the part about the really nice lights in the kitchen. Eeeeeeeewwwwww. Can’t wait to see it next week! Love, Mom

TELL ME YOU FORGOT A ZERO. TELL ME.

Regardless of the price (I WEEP) the house is so insanely awesome. The Nature and the space are off the hook. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. At least you don’t have to strip wall paper. Paint is easy.

CONGRATS!

It looks great! But right now, I feel a deep seated need to know what the furniture looked like. And if the owners had a mullet and/or wore a banana clip. And tied their t-shirt at the waist.

The red and blue room is in my college colors! I’m cracking up that they did the baseboards in opposing colors! You’re going to LOVE homeownership! Congrats!!!

Hey we LOVE it! Looks so nice and huge! The backyard is amazing. Is it still in Indy?

Tim & Ashlees last blog post..Kinsey’s Walking!!

I would love to be your neighbor! And for that price?!! Are you kidding me? Sadly, I don’t live anywhere near Indy. Congrats on the new house though – have fun painting!

Swiggys last blog post..Why do I have to be right all the time?

Ok, under $110K???? Where do you live again? We couldn’t even get a garage here for that money – thus we overpay for a small apartment. The house looks fab, and I could totally fly over and bunk in that two tone room (wth were they thinking) and paint it for you :)

Ps. Lovin’ the dolphin and xmas tree

Katjas last blog post..StrollAway Giveaway – Stylish & Compact Stroller Storage

I am beyond jealous. Under 110K? In my area there is NOTHING under 110K. It doesn’t exist. Well, let me take that back. In the past 6 months, about 10 properties under 110K have come up for sale. All of them are about 800-1000 square feet, built in 1895-1910 (meaning they’re old/deteriorating, not classic/historical).

big congrats.

****! All that for under $110K? That’s it. We’re moving back to Indy.

Um, yeah, $110k won’t get you a studio condo in Vermont. You are the luckiest girl on the planet. :)

Annas last blog post..Yummmmm, flour.

One of my favorite colors is Sherwin Williams’ Copen (or it may be Copel) Blue. It’s a really nice, soft color that’s not too blue; it has some nice undertones to it. Nothing frilly at all.

It’s particular pretty when paired with a black and white toile or damask pattern (for drapes or a shower curtain or bedspread, etc).

Congratulations!

Testing again. Casey, do not delete.

Did you find the source of the water in the light fixtures?

[...] you read on my main blog that I just got a new house and requested that Electrolux appliances appear in the currently blank appliance spots in my new [...]

Hot deal that is! I love the way the stairs don’t face the front door and the bonus room over the garage. Congratulations.

Oh sweetie!

It’s freaking GORGEOUS!!!

I love it.

You have room for MEEEEE!!!

Congratulations to you and Cody. I’m so thrilled for both of you.

That price is awesome. I live in Iowa and the prices are low here but not that low. There is an awesome color at Benjamin Moore called Olive Branch. My friend painted her living room that color with creamy white trim and dark hardwood floors. I am in love! Benjamin Moore has an online personal color viewer. I don’t buy their paint but I love their colors. Congrats!

what a great find!

2,900 sq. feet. 4 bedrooms. under $110K. ?????????
America is dirt cheap.
I’m jealous of your beautiful home. :)
congratulations!

Congratulations! First homes are SO exciting!

I’d be your neighbor if that was in SW Mo. I don’t think we can even get a place like that where we’re headed. Wow. Congrats!

WHOOOOHOOOO, Casey! I’m late again on the big news, but I’ve been smashed moving into my OWN new Casa de Mayhew, including NATURE and NEW PAINT and a MOUSE!

Love the new digs, huge congrats, so happy for the whole of you.

Congratulations. I love your back yard!

Did you just say under $110k?

I could buy a lot of paint and carpet for the difference once I sold my house in the DC housing market.

Did you say you bake?

[...] kitchen into Lake St. Moosh. And it’s infested with carpenter ants. And it’s currently painted in all the colors that were rejected by Chuck E. Cheese and It’s a Small World. BUT OOH! HOME OWNERSHIP! My husband also just graduated from law school. Which means all those [...]

I’m know I’m super late, but CONGRATULATIONS, Casey! :)
