Little By Little

Little by little we are working on our new home! It has been fun to see the changes take place, and we can't wait to see the finished product. We got a lot done this past weekend and it felt wonderful. We have about one-fourth left of the floor to put in in the living room and then we have the kitchen to do. We forgot our camera this weekend, but Kari let us borrow her video camera, so we have a little video for you!

We're Home Owners!

Well our big news of the month is...we're home owners! Last Friday we closed on our first home and we are thrilled! I had promised some pictures, so here they are. It was built in the 70s and hasn't had a lot of updating since then. We are planning to repaint pretty much everything. :) We already tore out the carpet in the living room and are going to start painting this weekend.

I'll start with pictures of the kitchen...this is what you see when you walk into the kitchen from the garage entry.
...when you look to the left-sink and oven


There's a nice built-in desk just too.


Living room/Hallway...what you see when you look into the living room from the kitchenRemove Formatting from selectionFront entry door is over there in the right corner. I really like the built-in book shelves!If you were to look left when coming out of the kitchen it goes into the hallway.
Hallway. First door on right is the bathroom. First door on left is smallest bedroom (will be our office). Second door on left is our bedroom and door at end of hall is guest bedroom (come visit us!) :)

Bathroom & Bedrooms...
Do you love the peach sink as much as we do? ;) We hope to update that some day, but it's not at the top of our priority list.
It has a matching peach tub, too! Ha.

I should have taken a picture of the closets--they are very nice and spacious and have some nice built-in shelves too! Thanks for sharing the excitement of our new home!
