One of our favorite hobbies is fixing up houses and the subsequent decorating (that part tends to fall more on my shoulders, but with the excellent design sense of my husband). We started on a house that Billy bought before we got married, which now serves as our rental property, and have kept on going ever since.
After I moved into Billy's house, we started looking around at houses just for fun. He knows I always love to see what all is out there, after all, my family's "Sunday drives" growing up usually consisted of checking out the latest open houses or houses under construction (which sometimes required a little creativity for getting in). And, we ended up buying a house down the street from us a couple of months later. The second I walked in, I couldn't resist, with the ten-foot ceilings, crown moulding and tall baseboards, two fireplaces and great potential. Thus began our second fixer-upper project. Not wanting to be without a house project for too long, we invested in a third home with his dad, which we fixed up (with the help of contractors for the first time ever) and are currently trying to sell. Not so great with the timing, but the house looks pretty nice if I do say so myself.
