I am sad to say I am the last to give a go at blogging but have loved reading everyone's so far. I am inspired and can see how this will be such a great way to keep up with the day to day happenings. I just got home from Bunko at Jill's which had some amazing food and couldn't wait to start out my blog. I am so excited to share all of our adventures and hopefully the pictures I will post will show why I have been so busy. We are very much under construction and are still trying to unpack out last boxes. With a new job and a new home it has been an exciting and busy time of change. We have been painting, fixing, weeding, ordering, picking and painting more. You can see our painting operation underway below. I found out I love me some painting. We came out with sore arms, jalapeno pepper paint on our noses after a small paint fight and a appreciation for some good ole' fashion manual labor.
The next photo I am going to post is to prove how serious I have been when I say we have NO furniture. Four folding chairs have been the extent of our decor so far. I came home yesterday not knowing we had a special delivery and here is what I saw.....all our dining room furniture had arrived and Nick had set it out so I would see it right when I walked in. You can see in the picture he set one of our folding chairs next to one of out new dining room chairs. I love the sign he put out, which would you rather sit in?
I am sad to say that you will never experience the neon green with white polka dots in our guest bathroom but to show you I am not exaggerating like I am known to do here is a picture of the before.
We used an aqua grasscloth paper to try to tone things down a bit and changed out the fixtures and knobs. You no longer have to wear sunglasses when using the bathroom.
Other final new renovation are having this built-in bookshelves created. There was nothing here at all so I was so excited to have the extra storage.
Here is our new bedroom furniture but we have no bedding.
I would love ideas on the bedding! I see a few of you have some awesome design blogs tagged so I can check those out too. I can't wait for you to all see in person our new little home. Thanks Jill for this excellent idea. I love that we are committed to sharing our lives with each other and what a great way to do it!
