  4. Yay! I’m so excited for y’all. Seriously, SO FREAKIN EXCITED!

    We move July 17th, and let me just tell you, the paint disaster we’re facing? WORSE. Oh, yes, it is. In good time I will share the joys of buying a home that someone else couldn’t afford to finish painting. Half blood red walls? We haz them.

  5. Hooray! I’m so glad you’ve found a place to call home! You’ve worked so hard for this! As for the red & blue decor upstairs, I can only apply typical Hoosier logic and say that the former owners wanted to show their allegiance to IU as well as the Colts…this explains but does not justify the behavior, haha. Every time I run through the connecting neighborhoods of my parents’ IN home, I see that very same natural view…and miss it. Can’t wait to see how you put the Casey touch on it! (Oh, and if you’re looking for tile ideas, I can send you to my dad). Your readership expects an invite to the housewarming!

  6. Oh, I wish!!! (We’re still stuck in the “we must sell our duplex before buying a new house” holding pattern. BOO.)

    I had a pro graphic desginer friend help me pick out the paint for our current dining room – “Clay Pebble” from Behr. Its an AWESOME greenish color without being too “green-y” in case you’re looking for a great color. 😉

  8. TELL ME YOU FORGOT A ZERO. TELL ME.

    Regardless of the price (I WEEP) the house is so insanely awesome. The Nature and the space are off the hook. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. At least you don’t have to strip wall paper. Paint is easy.

    CONGRATS!

  10. It looks great! But right now, I feel a deep seated need to know what the furniture looked like. And if the owners had a mullet and/or wore a banana clip. And tied their t-shirt at the waist.

  11. Woo hoo, nature! I was the same way when we moved from NYC to Alabama. I kept opening the door to smell outside. Our family room was Barney Purple when we bought the house. Yeah.

    The red and blue room is in my college colors! I’m cracking up that they did the baseboards in opposing colors! You’re going to LOVE homeownership! Congrats!!!

  12. I am beyond jealous. Under 110K? In my area there is NOTHING under 110K. It doesn’t exist. Well, let me take that back. In the past 6 months, about 10 properties under 110K have come up for sale. All of them are about 800-1000 square feet, built in 1895-1910 (meaning they’re old/deteriorating, not classic/historical).

  13. One of my favorite colors is Sherwin Williams’ Copen (or it may be Copel) Blue. It’s a really nice, soft color that’s not too blue; it has some nice undertones to it. Nothing frilly at all.

    It’s particular pretty when paired with a black and white toile or damask pattern (for drapes or a shower curtain or bedspread, etc).

    Congratulations!
