Well we received keys to our condo on Friday and have been working in it everyday since. Including the entire holiday day on Monday. This is what we had to begin with and we expect to have a lot done by the time we move in... June 21. Although we will not have all of it done due the huge expenses we will incur fixing it up, we will continue to work on it little by little until we are perfectly happy and have our "dream home" complete. Our current project on the home is our stairs. We have ripped out the bottom of the stairs and made them appear to be "floating" it opened up some dead space and made our huge living room look even bigger. Prior to move in we plan on putting in wood or pergo flooring in the dining room and kitchen, and replacing all the fixtures, switch plates and outlet covers and begin the stone and stainless steel fireplace. So far we have painted and and have been working on the stairs. After we have moved in and have saved up the money we would like to finish pergo throughout and replace carpets in the two small bedrooms. We also plan on replacing or refinishing our cabinets, replacing counter tops and putting in bowl type wash basins, in our bathroom sinks. As well as much, much more ;) I will be putting up pictures to show our progress and keep everyone updated.

As I said before, It is definitely a fixer upper. But all I have to say is... "Lipstick and Rouge"
