ARCTICdeco.com: Red House SOLD

I’m happy to announce… the house is bought and paid for! So EXCITING! Even though we’ve been working on the house for a few weeks, it has taken forever to officially close. It’s a good thing for you too because I’d have very little to write about had we not, and you’d have a far more arduous afternoon trying to fill that extra 4.5 minutes of your day. I’m so glad you’re as happy about this as me.

The worst is over (or so I hope) after copious papers being signed, then lost by the airlines, then redone and notarized, debts incurred, and the long, long, long waiting period for us to get to this day. Now the fun can begin!

View from the house on the morning of July 3, 2013. Ugh.We got a nice surprise this morning with a couple inches of white fluff covering everything. Here’s the view from the house looking onto Frobisher Bay. I guess the two hot days we got over Canada Day weekend WAS our summer. *sigh*

The Before Pics

The Before Photos

Here they are! The before pictures. Now most of these were taken before the latest round of renos/repairs, so there is already quite a lot that looks different today – but since I haven’t taken any shots this week, you’ll get more of a surprise with the after shots after seeing these.

P.S. Yes, I noticed there is a lot of wood panelling. A LOT. All the more fun for renovating!

P.P.S: Happy Canada Day everyone!!! (more…)
