new to the area

so we've finally moved the last box from the townhouse and placed amongst the others in our bungalow. the house was built in 1921 so i'm trying to get into the idea of the great depression- everytime i look at my closet space. we have a long and eventful journey ahead of us as we attempt to restore our little home to all it's glory. i will say it's great to finally have a home. the house has origional hard wood floors in the living and dining rooms, a fireplace (in the l/r) and a huge kitchen and gigantic back yard. we're even lucky enough to have the origional windows, although someone previously has unlovingly painted repetedly over the sashings and jams... that should be a lovely weekend endeavor! we have 3 bed rooms and 2 bathrooms (one of which is a porch conversion- but in a few years we're likely to restore the porch to it's entirety.) did i mention we hava a garage -of sorts- we think it's like an above ground basement with a leaky roof... another one on the agenda to receive some much needed TLC.
for the most part we'll be busy fixing her up and getting her all pretty for everyone to see.
good things come to those who wait right?
