I'm Back!! Hopefully for good!!

Hello! Remember me?! Well I am back!

So let me fill you in - last you heard I didn't own a house...well we are homeowners now!! We closed the 29th of August! Owning a house is amazing, stressful, overwhelming and exciting! We are loving every minute of it so far.

Both of our cars are in the garage now! Wahoo! Big accomplishment. But our basement and back bedroom are a hot mess! My mom keeps telling me you have 30 years to get organized. Ha! But I want to be organized now :) We are getting there!




Above is our first home!!

So I have almost one project completed. My sister came out on Saturday and we spent the whole day together shopping for furniture, etc.

Here is the first project - the lamps need to go but they will do for now and I need a few more decorations for the table but we are getting there. This is somewhat near the entry way of the house.


And then the hall bathroom project came. So I found a shower curtain I liked and then we bought paint to match. Well I like the shower curtain and the paint just do not think it matches well with our vanity and floor. SO we will be re-painting.

So prior to us painting the bathroom had these diamonds in there. It wasn't horrible just not the best paint job like you could see the pencil lines where they traced it out. It looked like this:





I just wasn't digging the diamonds.

So we did this:


I just don't feel it matches well. Obviously I would of ironed the shower curtain if we were keeping it.

So my next blog will be about some colors I have found and let me know you all's opinions.

Thanks!!

  2. oh and Andy has only asked me 4,582 times if you guys need any electrical work done. So be ready for him to ask you and/or Matt that and offer to help about 60 times on Saturday.

  3. ACTUALLY we do - he will see on Saturday. I doubt it would be a huge deal. I hope not. Basically the light that hangs above our kitchen table is not centered and needs to be moved over. So I said I bet Andy could fix this for us. Matt was OMG amazing idea! We can talk to him about it on Saturday!
