The "Before" and "After" pics of our new house!


Yes, I FINALLY have pictures. I found the charger to our camera so maybe i will start blogging again??! So, when we bought our house, it was nasty carpet, all white walls, gross gold light fixtures, gold door knobs(still are :/), gold everything! Take a looksy..............



That ugly bush is actually a tree.... it could be a really awesome tree too if they had taken care of it...

nasty, dirty carpet.







Ugly gold light fixtures...










So, we spent 25+ hours painting our entire house(except the future baby room haha), justin and my bro-in-law spent 25 hours (and 8 more to go) on putting our wood flooring in, we put in a few new light fixtures, seeded the lawn, I TRIED to decorate lol, and this is what our home currently looks like......


grass is KINDA coming in lol and we are gonna see what we can do with that tree before we rip it out....haha


The front entrance




Living Room













The Kitchen- we still need new appliances....one thing at a time right?!


My new chandelier that I am in love with.



My "attempt" at decorating, don't worry it's not done yet...


The Hallway




The messy office


but...I have my new computer :) which i am also in love with


Our new hall light. You should have seen the one that was there! It was RIDICULOUS!


The spare bedroom


The future baby room- for now, it's our storage unit


The bathroom- the orange walls are awesome. All I have been able to do is paint it, Now it's time to decorate it and strip the gold from it!


No this shower curtain is not staying there...I have just had the hardest time findinga cute shower curtain that compliments my orange walls. If anyone knows where I can find some funky/unique shower curtains- please let me know!


The master bathroom. We painted it a pale lime green, but we think we are gonna repaint it...... We're just not feelin' it. Think we might do a darker earthy color.


The master closet.


Our big backyard!



I want those dead trees gone! haha. Justin needs to get on it!



So, that's our house! Still a work in progress, but we love it! It definitely feels like home, and we know it's where we are supposed to be! We are so grateful for being so blessed in finding this home and being able to even get a home. We are so happy!
