Home Sweet Home

Well, here's my house! Our house, I guess. We looked at 9 houses before picking this one. It just felt right and my husband said it was his favorite before we were even in the front door (which we fixed up and painted a pretty blue). It has 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. There is an attic on the 3rd floor that has been converted into a family room, which is nice. It is heated and with the new carpet we put in it's going to be great in the winter time. 

It's a old house (built in 1924-1926) and the previous owners didn't do too much upkeep on it so there has been a lot of work to do. My husband and father-in-law rebuilt the stairs to the attic, they put in new lighting in the basement, they basically re-did the downstairs bathroom and there has been lots of smaller projects in between. Next we are going to start a kitchen remodel (yikes!) since the current kitchen was last updated in about 1969 with it's faux wood countertops, faux tin ceiling and faux brick backsplash. Classy. The kitchen will be a lot of work and money but will be well worth it when it is done. We really love this house and it feels like home even though we've only been here a few months.

And here's a picture my husband took of the water tower in our town. Yep, apparently Boonton isn't in NJ at all. It's in the U.S.A. What an odd town...
