House Updates...

Well there hasn't been a TON of stuff going on here, but there are a bunch of small updates that make a big change in the feeling.


Kitchen/Dining Room:
John finished putting down the new floor! It feels so nice and clean! AND I can now walk around barefoot!

Still to do:
-Get a pantry and clean up the counters
-Hang blinds in the windows
-Get a light fixture for over the dining table


Living Room:
We hung the ceiling light/fan. Also you will see our furniture in place, along with the curtains! It is very messy- we still aren't fully unpacked and I wasn't actually planning on taking pictures.

From the front door.

From the dining room.

Before:

After:

My fix for the broken bi-fold door at the entry closet.

Still to do:
-Pick up/organize
-Fix the blinds in the window
-Hang artwork and pictures


Office:
I've gotten all of the books put away on the bookcase so we were able to get a big stack of boxes out of the room! I also painted the bulletin board frame (with some help from Jaq) so that it is black like the rest of the furniture in the room. Last, we hung a shelf over the desk and bulletin board.

Jaq helping.

Clearly not very organized yet, but here is the desk with the

new matching bulletin board and a shelf above.

Still to do:

-Touch up the orange paint next to the ceiling

-Give the trim a second coat of white

-Build and install shelves in the closet.

-Hang blinds that I ordered in the windows

-Hang some white shears

-Hang artwork and diplomas

-Eventually get baskets to replace the red boxes

Bathroom:

This room is pretty much finished for now. We are planning a complete gut for the early spring, so we didn't want to do too much- just make it clean and comfortable.

Before:

After:

My temporary storage solution.

The bathroom "artwork"- samples that I got from work and then framed.

Master Bedroom:

This room has fallen behind. We have not done much in here at all. All I will show you is the paint color next to our curtains. :)

Still to do:

-Hang blinds

-Fix curtains

-Make headboard

-Hang artwork and pictures

-Hang mirror

-Get another hamper to solve the clothes problem

Guest Bedroom:

Ummmm this room is still a mess. Nothing further.
