So, it's been awhile. A long while. I swear it seems like the last month or so has flow by, probably because I've been so busy with school, the house, and hosting a baby shower. Wait, what? How can I host a baby shower when I don't have a house? Well, we do.
Just before Thanksgiving, we moved into our house! It's not finished yet; we still have major work to do on the master bathroom, the master bedroom, and the family room as well as small things to do around the rest of the house, but we're in. So far, we're loving it, but we still have so much unpacking and decorating to do.
When we first moved in, things look like this:
 |
| Total Chaos. And this was after a lot of the boxes were unpacked. |
 |
The kitchen counters weren't in yet., so I had two small pieces of plywood.
This was all my counter space for a couple of weeks. |
 |
| At least the TV was working. |
 |
| Note, we don't plan on leaving the bookshelf in the middle of the floor. |
Things have come a long way since then. We've gotten two of the bedrooms settled enough to feel "finished" at least in terms of being able to use the beds. And the office is getting somewhat more organized as well.....although it is still the catch all room, so it's a bit of a mess. The guest bath (which is currently the only one) is also finished, and looks great.

 |
| The guest bath. Sorry for the crappy pictures, it's so tiny that it's very hard to photograph. |
 |
| I love the shower curtain, though. It works perfectly with the tile in the shower. |
 |
My new IKEA towel bar/shelf.
The solution to only having room t hang one towel bar in the whole bathroom. |
 |
The middle bedroom (Bedroom 2). If you look closely,
you can see a cat butt peeking out from under the bed. |
We also finally got our kitchen counters installed, and they are beautiful. I love them! And it's so nice to have so much space to work. I've been cooking up a storm, and I've yet to run out of room, even with cookies spread all over everywhere.

The kitchen. Please look past the cereal box on the island.
I forgot to move it in the first photo. |
 |
| My beautiful island with my beautiful counters. Quartz all the way. |
 |
So much space, even next to the stove.
This is more than was in the house when we bought it. |
 |
The view from the sink.
You don't get a close up of the sink since it's still full of dishes from the baby shower, but trust me, it's beautiful. |
 |
| And my beautiful pendant lights. |
We've also been working on the rest of the living area. We love that it's all one big room and that I can be in the kitchen cooking and still watching TV or talking to Landon while he's on his laptop on the couch. It's so nice.

So there you have it. We've been busy, but now that things have slowed down, I'm going to try and update you on a lot of the little projects that have been going on to get us to this point. Stay tuned.
