This morning we left really early for our 2 hour drive up to Prescott. Today, we left as a family relocating to Prescott enjoying the pretty sunrise. This afternoon we became home owners again. Arizona spoils a girl! Majority of homes in the East Valley are new, updated, and move in ready with minor things someone has hopes of doing to personalize it. Northern Arizona is more like back east. Old, outdated homes that are in desperate need of fixing and updating. We have owned 4 homes in the past. Our first home was a brand new home we built 1 year after having Liliana. Our second home was a cute little ranch home in California, where I had walls upon walls of wallpaper to take down and a few rooms that needed new flooring. The third house was in New York. That house required a little kitchen updating ( new countertops), a new railing (it had the ugliest metal railing), carpet removal in master to show off the beautiful hard wood floors, removal of some ugly wallpaper borders, painting of panelling in the basement area, and gutting the main floor bathroom. The 4th home was in Arizona when we moved back in 2007. It was move in ready but we knew we would make it more homey for our family. Projects included ripping out a set of cabinets and creating a huge walk in pantry, making a "mudroom" area in the laundry room where the pantry used to be, putting wood floors throughout the downstairs, converting the office area into a movie room, and updating light fixtures as well as the downstairs bathroom vanity.
4324 N Sheridan Ln Prescott Valley is our 5th home we've own over the years. I have posted some separate postings on all the fun ahead of us as far as renovations are concerned. It's more work than all the other homes combined but we are up for the challenge.
