Okay, it's time to get back in the swing of this blog thing. You're probably wondering what ever happened to that house that started this whole journey . . . well, let me tell you, it's been a journey. Getting used to living in tight quarters has been a challenge. It'll really put you in the mind of canned sardines or all those clowns piling out of the cars . . . . thanks to the girls at work and our families (boyfriend's and mine) the house is packed with goodies.
So I thought I would take a minute to show the progress . . . keep in mind that I said progress, this is by NO way the finished product. Still trying to convince boyfriend to help me hang some pictures and boards and things . . . As you know, I am an avid blog-reader. And while I appreciate the knowledge I gather from these blogs. I am insulted by the mansions they call their 'first homes.'
so don't expect a mansion for this blog (this is real life), drum roll please, here it is . . .

The House....this is what it looks like as you drive up...We haven't really attacked this area yet, except for trying to clear out the ivy.
|
 |
| The kitchen a hot second after move-in....note the swag air conditioner. |
 |
| The Kitchen today, not a whole lot has changed . . . but I think it's becoming pretty functional. |
 |
| The Fridge pre paint (that's on the to-do list) and my make-shift pantry. |
 |
| After move in, still had extra carpet down to protect the new floor. The boxes were full of books :) |
 |
| NEW COUCH :) |
 |
| Living room today, right after a Saturday cleaning session...dog beds in the place of boxes.... |
 |
| Couch, the built in shelf got a little more love....still needs some love for the walls but I'm pretty happy with it. |
 |
| This was the Living Room before we moved in . . . after paint and before carpet |
 |
| In case you were wondering what happened to this thing, Boyfriend, his brother and grandmother painted it, still planning on painting the handles black. |
 |
| This is what happened with all those books ... |
 |
| The dinning room after, and the awesome new vacuum cleaner |
 |
| Right after move in |
 |
| Bedroom before move in |
 |
| Bedroom today |
 |
| Bathroom before move in...it's tiny, so it's hard to get a good picture |
 |
| Day of move in bathroom ... the the paint did wonders... but it still needed love |
 |
| Bathroom today ... thinking vertical for storage |
 |
| This thing SAVES my life....the best idea anyone ever gave me |
That's the house, it's still in need of a few projects and I didn't show you the laundry room...but I think that's enough for today :)
