I got tired of renting, so I decided to take the plunge into home ownership. I wanted to live in the Hilliard area, and most houses in my price range were either way too small, or total pieces of shit needing way too much money. I ended up getting lucky and found this...

It's a 5 bed, 2.5 bath, 1600 sq ft built in 1970. I'm not thrilled with a single car garage, but everything else about the house is awesome. It was owned by an elderly lady, and it could use some updating. My girlfriend is an interior designer (plus she has impeccable taste) so we're definitely going to add our personal touches as soon as we get settled in.
As far as the exterior, I already took off that iron railing by the front door, and the storm door will be replaced next. Eventually I'll go with vinyl siding (and a different color) but that's way down the road. In the meantime I just want to do some little things here and there to up the curb appeal. A little landscaping should go a long way.
