The House

We have been busy, busy, busy with the house every weekend and it's been really fun to see it transform into our home. There will be lots of pictures so hopefully you'll be able to see our progress.

I guess a little info about our house. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and the basement has a bedroom already framed so that's another things we'll be working on in the coming months/years (not so sure how long it's going to take to get to certain projects). When we moved in, it was kind of a mess, but we had a lot of help from our families to get things scrubbed, painted, scraped, moved, sanded, lifted, you name it! Mike's dad fixed A LOT of things as well and we are so grateful for all of the help we got from everyone. It sure made things easier for us!

And now on to the plethora of pictures!

Before we moved all of our stuff in, the first thing to happen was we painted the ceilings throughout the entire house and the family room. It's amazing what a little paint can do to completely change a room. Furniture and pictures helped out the front room a bit too.

Last weekend we painted the kitchen red with some left over paint we had from our previous apartment. It also made things seem a bit more homey and it was fun to spend the morning with Mike just listening to music and talking about random stuff as we painted our little hearts out.

Here are a couple of more pictures of different rooms in our house.

This is the entertainment room in the basement the people here before us were working on. Once we've put in a new bathroom upstairs and put in a yard next spring, we'll be putting carpet in here and using it.



This is a little kid room and it's really cute. It has a elephant and a monkey painted on the wall and there's a giraffe on the back of the door. I would take a picture of it now, but you definitely don't want to see the mess of boxes in there.



We'll be working on the rest of the house gradually and I'll post pictures when more things happen around here and when more rooms get painted and worked on.
