Closing

Jared and I close on the house Thursday. The seller installs the new water heater and range tomorrow. We have to buy a fridge. I think we're going with this one: Hotpoint HSS22GFT. It scored 2nd best on Consumer Reports and was half the price of the #1. We chose our range from Consumer Reports too, Hotpoint RGB745WEH. They're both black. We're thinking Daffodil for the living room and Celestial for the dining/kitchen/hallway. Jared wants a bright white for the bedroom but I'm leaning toward a white mint. We'll see.
We found a nice tile that picks up some of the light, light brown colors in the limestone of the fireplace.
We'd like to remove the popcorn from the ceiling, but I hear that it's a real bitch so we may delay it a bit.
We certainly need to think about painting the cabinets as they're pretty lame, but again, not as high a priority!
We're also putting in a tub with fancy-pants jets! It's gonna be standard size since we don't want to do a full remodel, but it'll be deeper and rad.
More updates to come...
