So we bought a house and we're all moved in! We've been so busy since we went under contract I haven't had a spare minute to catch my breath. Both of us have been working full time and then going home and doing odds and ends to maintain the house. I never really knew how much work a lawn and garden can be. We're soo anxious for Pauls family to visit! They are pros! We feel like we can't keep up with the grass, but then again, we are SSOOOO greatful to even have grass! When we bought the house EVERY room was yellow... I kid you NOT. EVERYROOM! so far we have painted the living room and kitchenette and the framing in those two rooms! We've also done most of the trim.. We tore out the ugly brown carpet that was in the living room and dining room. We pulled out all the sticky paper she had in the kitchen cabinets, and packed them full of our dishes!! And we already have a BILLION ideas for what to do next. I'm so tired.. Will we ever find time for the gym again?
This is the view of the living room/dining room from the living room window wall. Those are the wood floors we found under that old carpet! Woohoo! At lunch with Ashley and Vivian a couple weeks ago, Vivian said, that clean ugly floors are better than, dirty carpeted floors! AGREED! I would have been happier with plywood floors, than I was with the carpet!
These pictures were taken before the accent wall in the living room was painted but we picked a sage grey color that we LOVE LOVE LOVE! We haven't finished hanging stuff up yet but we'll get to it.. for now I just want to enjoy it for a few days first.
I promise I'll be better about updating! I have a couple pictures of the park about 6 houses away with pretty pond RIGHT in the middle. I'll upload them and post them soon! Hope all of you make it over to see the new house soon! We miss you guys!
