Sorry guys! But this time I have a very good reason. We've completely moved into our first home! (please excuss me while I do a happy dance). But anyways, I have been a girl without internet for way too long! And please forgive me, because it's slow and takes at least an hour to upload pics. So first and for most I would like to post the pics that many of you have been waiting for (drumroll please). Pics of the house and what we have done to it. So we will begin with the deck. I'm assuming that no one has payed any attetion to this deck in so long. I mean it was turning gray!
However Caleb power washed it and we spent all Labor day weekend, doing exactly what the day was made for. Labor! I think things turned out pretty good. Please excuse the darkness of the photo, however this was the time of day that WE finished. Yes people I helped! As far fetched as it may seem, I kinda enjoyed it ::GASP::.
On to the next project. As many of you may have seen from my previous post the living room, dining room, kitchen and hall ways were painted two colors that should be baned from the paint store, UNLESS you are painting a small area that isn't surrounded by lights and windows that will change the wall colors as the day brightens and darkens. This is the color that we chose.
I have to say, this was perfect! Every wall in this house except for the ones belonging to a bathroom or a bedroom got this lovely treatment. I'm not real sure what the name of the actual color was. We got it from Lowes. I however call it Milk Chocolate, Starbucks Hot Chocolate and the occasional Poop Brown. And before you even ask it, I am not this ambitious. We paid someone to do this. And let me say it is the best money we ever spent! This guy worked so quickly I thought Ty Pennington was surely going to show up (kinda sad he didn't, but whatever). He started a 7 a.m and was done before we got home from work! That's impressive.
Also doing this long break from posting, we celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary. Yes time does fly. We didn't do anything special but take off of work. I mean come on guys, we just bought a house. Shesh. However, we did go by the nice Ashley Furniture store and bought some gourgeous (sp?) leather. I'll post pics of it when it gets here. Until next time. Ta Tas!
