I'm pleased to report that I am finally in my new [old] home! I gained possession last Friday [March 18th] and immediately started moving in! Phase I consisted of the essentials + a few luxuries that I had stored in MI. I spent most of the evening and day on Saturday unpacking and discovering forgotten possessions- so much fun! Phase II of moving will happen this weekend [April 1 - 3] when my lovely parents + brother are going to pack up my storage unit [10' x 10' + filled to the brim!] and remaining belongings at my parents house and drive up to MI. I can't wait!
It didn't take me long to make multiple trips to Lowe's to purchase paint, new electrical switches, outlets, and face plates- the low budget/high impact items considering my budget is practically nothing. Much of this past week was spent painting the dining room [previously deep crimson red - now a rich medium grey] and the guest room [previously terra cotta/maroon/yuck - now a much brighter light grey that really shows off the high ceilings and molding]!

_ figure out what I'm going to do with the existing paneling in the kitchen that has brown + cream tile behind it
_
_ find a paint match for ceiling in guest room in the basement - :( turns out the 2 of the 3 gallons in the basement were dried up and the remaining was way too bright of a white... looks like i get to purchase yet another gallon and paint the ENTIRE ceiling, as opposed to a few spots...
