home tour: for now

Welcome to part one of the "for now" home tour.  

For now,
because we have a lot of stuff we still want to do on every single room of our house.

But if our last house was any indication, it is going to take us a very very long time to get those things done...
we're the type of people who start a project (like crown molding), get almost done,
look at the nail holes that need to be filled and corner that needs to be finished
for two long years,
and then take 20 minutes to finish it up the week before we move out of the house.
We're just awesome like that.

SO, 
I'm going to show you what our house is like,
for now.
And I'll show off our updates as they come along, little by little.
