For My Sister

I talked to my sister on the phone today.  I had said it didn’t seem like I had gotten much done this week and she said “at least you posted some pictures on your blog”.  So her is another picture for her…and anyone else who cares! I have cleaned and organized the living room.  As [...]

Some Big Changes

We have been getting lots done and I at the request of some here are some picture updates. We now have a walkway which is a big deal!  No more walking through the mud.  I can’t wait until this summer when we can landscape around it and help it look better! The back side of [...]

And Now We Have Chairs!

They arrived really fast!  We got them all put together and voila!  I love them.  They are comfy too.  They are not a perfect match on the wood color but I think they look very good.  We have such a mixture of wood through the house that I think it works well.  Now tomorrow is [...]

Oh Happy Day!

Sadly like 7 1/2 months ago we thought this was almost finished.  You can check out that progress here.  We did put this on the back burner for a little while after I got pregnant but it is done now!  Last night I enjoyed the first shower of many wonderful showers to come!  It felt [...]

A Home In Need

As I have said before our house is lacking decorations very bad!  I might get a little help in this area now.  Today I received a 40 dollar rebate I have been waiting for.  Well actually I wasn’t expecting it until closer to Christmas.  So now I have to decide what to get!  I would [...]

So Thankful

We have hot water!  I am so thankful that it was an easy fix!  They were very close to cutting holes in walls and actually did cut one in the closet but I can handle that.  BUT it ended up being a bad shower valve.  Thankfully I also had lots of pictures showing the pipes [...]

Hot Water…how hard could it be?

I don’t even know if I can write this without crying!  I am fearing the worst…  I almost do not even know where to start this story.  Let’s see… Once upon a time…a long long time ago…about two years ago…when we first had the actual house built, a plumber came and filled the walls and [...]

House Update

It has been a long journey trying to finish our house.  I would imagine that my loyal readers are as tired of hearing “It’s almost done”, as I am!  As you know I was in Ohio for a week so that the house could be finished painting.  Here is what it looked like when I [...]

Just a few updates

We got our counter tops in today!  I love them so much!  It is called Mineral Umber which is out of the Radiance collection from Formica.  It has shiny specs in it so that it will resemble granite.  They really just finish the look we are going for in the house.   There is bar seating on the [...]

Almost Finished!

We are weeks away from having the house finished.  I am not blogging much now because of all the work we are doing but will have plenty of time after we get settled in.  Here are a few pictures of the kitchen.  My mom did a great job designing the space for what we needed.  [...]
