New House + Interior Painting = Your Home

by Pete Weaver Comment Closed
So you bought a house... Congratulations! You're a new home owner. The home buying process is fraught with excitement, hope, drama, trepidation, and finally - the long awaited closing. You've moved in, placed your possessions, and have begun to explore your new space.
