This is the first time we really got to look at the house. Tim's parents came over and checked it out, and we decided to put in an offer. With a few adjustments back and forth as is common, it was eventually accepted by both parties. Thus began the long wait to September 13th! (Closing day.. incidentally it is Friday the 13th, which both of us find kind of humorous, since we certainly aren't superstitious). Anyway, this is how it looked with the previous owners' furniture.
