We Bought A House!

That's right!! We bought a house! We have actually been in it for 3 weeks now and we love it so much! There are lots of little & big projects that we want to tackle to make it our own! Since we have been in we have mostly just painted things, but as time goes on and more projects are finished I will be sure to show you pictures.

So, let's start with all the before pictures.

This is the living room and dining room right as you enter from the sun room.

Next we have the two bedrooms off of the dining room. First is the guest bedroom which has a view of the front yard. Then, Baby's room and she has a view of the neighbors house. Not very exciting, but she won't be spending much time in there in the beginning anyways.

In between the two rooms is the bathroom. Thankfully, with this place both bathrooms had just been remodeled and so they looked pretty nice and we won't have to do much work in them.

Off the dining room is the kitchen and I only have one really bad picture, which doesn't even show the whole kitchen. We are hoping to be able to remodel the whole kitchen, but that will come in time.

Downstairs is the basement, obviously, which has been made into a master suite of kinds.

There is a nice big room for our furniture...

A good sized walk-in closet with plenty of space for storage and all of my shoes! :-)

Then there is this really cool room with lots of storage space. It will be my office/craft room.

The bathroom is nothing exciting, but it is finished and it looks pretty nice. We like it...maybe one day we will repaint the walls though.


And there you have it! That is our little house.

Now, on to the fun part! Making it our own!

The first room that we went ahead and painted was the master bedroom. I don't know if you noticed in the previous pictures, but it was pink! Like a bright orange, salmon, PINK!

It kinda clashed with our bedding and so we painted it a nice soft blue. (Yes, blue is my favorite color as you will soon find out if you look at any of the other things I post from our house. Not sure there is a room without blue in it.)

We chose the one on the left. It is hard to see in the picture, but it is blue, primer, and then a softer more lavender color on the right. Chris wasn't down with lavender. :-)

I'm really in love with how it turned out, which is good considering all of the time that I spend down here. It is relaxing and peaceful, and warm. I feel safe and comfortable...not to mention Chris has acquired a couple of guns as a very late birthday present and his newest one is sitting on his side of the bed. Overall I think it turned out great! Over time I'm sure we will put more pictures on the wall... sorry you can't see the ones that are on the walls, they're nothing special though. I would love to have pictures of our baby down here... well actually everywhere! :-)

So, that's our house and our first project finished. We have finished a couple more, but I'll post those on a later date when the rooms are actually clean enough to take a picture of them. :-) Moving in takes time and it can be so stressful. It is also slow when you are pregnant and can't do as much as you usually would. But, I have really loved making this little house our own.
