OUR DREAM HOUSE!!!
Hello! I’m Tessa and my husband’s name is Tom, we just married and we bought a beautiful old big house in
downtown, we are so excited to move there, but we have to fix and change some stuff there. I will explain to
you a little bit.
First of all, Tom is removing all doors from the house while I’m buying new ones. After that, we will call our
parents asking for suggestions and advice about choosing the wall’s colours. We will paint the first floor with
black color, like a vintage style. I remember when I was a child, my parents painted the first floor of our house
and they painted all the walls and doors with white color.
Second, we are getting ready the patio, so we can join friends and share some time together listening to music,
eating snacks and playing table games. For this place, I got some big lamps, Tom bought special things for this
place, as a big coach and puffs.
Finally, we use a light blue color and black for the second floor, we are painting right now, while our
housekeeper is cleaning the kitchen, mopping the floor, and tidying everything.
We will send you a picture when we are done!!!Best regards,
Tessa and Tom
