New House Pics | Living Room

Before: This room was COVERED in thick, thick wall paper.

After: With the help of family we stripped the wall paper off, sanded the walls, primed, and finally painted in Sherwin Williams Contented. We then did a gloss treatment in a striped pattern. We LOVE the result! Unfortunately, we don't really have any furniture for this space right now and likely won't for the foreseeable future. But it'll be ready when we do have furniture.



Currently storing some patio furniture in there while it is the off season for using our screened in porch.

New House Pics | Basement

Guest Bedroom/Bathroom Before: This was pretty much a blank slate as the previous owners hadn't touched it. The bedroom was painted white. The bathroom was wallpapered in a yellow floral print. Old carpet was green and smelled like cat pee.

Guest Bedroom/Bathroom After: Painted bedroom in Sherwin Williams Macadamia (leftover from the playroom). Tore down wall paper in the bathroom and repainted in SW Contented (leftover from the living room). New carpet throughout entire basement.

Playroom Before: Blank slate white walls. Cat pee carpet.

Playroom after: Painted 3 walls in SW Macadamia. Painted accent wall with bright white followed by bright colored squares. Caleb picked out the colors for the squares...ie. we let him pick paint samples and we selected one color from each card. New carpet throughout.

New House Pics | Family Room

Photograph taken by my brother-in-law and a little bit of fall decor.

Looking from the family room leading back into the entry way and then into the living room. Half bath doorway on the immediate right, front door on the right beyond that, stairs on the left, living room directly in front.

New House Pics | C's Bedroom

The first of many posts about the new house as we slowly get things together and get rooms clean enough to take pictures to post on the interwebs. Of course Caleb's room was the first to get done.

Before: This room was a pre-teen boy's room before with 3 white walls and a red accent wall.

After: We painted using a color scheme to match his current bedding. New bed for Caleb since we decided to turn the crib back into a crib for when another baby comes along. New curtains from IKEA that I hemmed to the proper length. New curtain rods to match the sports theme. New ceiling fan.

Family Tree

Finally found my camera cord, so here's a descent picture of the family tree wall in the playroom.

Date Night

Recently, Andrew went on a team building retreat for work overnight, so Caleb and I had a date night. We picked up dinner a Chick fil A and took it to a local park for a picnic. Then we headed to Rita's for dessert. I think I need to start having regular date nights with my little man!
