Home Ownership: 4 months in

We have owned our home for about 4 months now and we have definitely had our ups and downs.  The first week we moved in, we encountered a plumbing issue.  Nothing too major, but possibly a big deal down the road.  Those beautiful mature trees in our front yard?  Well, apparently roots and pipes don't mix well.  It shook us up a bit, but we put it behind us and forged ahead . . . painting, carpeting, painting some more, hanging window treatments, painting even more . . .

Then the heat wave hit and our AC unit decides to break.  Three times!  We are really hoping our warranty might just replace it.  Here's to hoping, right?  And a few days ago we discovered our front lawn wasn't dying because of the 100+ degree weather.  Our front sprinkler system had broken and it hadn't been watered in almost a week.  Yikes!

In spite of these little joys of home ownership [insert eye roll here], we have had a blast making it our own.  Our last summer project was re-facing all the bathroom and hallway cabinets and I'm quite pleased with how they turned out.  In fact, I'm pretty proud!  Hence, the posting of pictures =)

Still happy home owners though!

This is the sanding phase of the hallway linen cabinets ... all the cabinets looked like this originally.
