Becoming More Homey

We've been hard at work on the house, getting the inside painted, as well as putting up the corner beads throughout the house so we can mud them. 

 We also discovered after the sliding glass door went in that there are some sections under the siding that are disintegrating from water damage. We are looking at getting new siding put on since our current siding is discontinued and in bad shape.

And who doesn't like string lights?  Our driveway needed more light at night so we hung these up!

We (hubby) finished painting the guest room and then I helped him put the guest bed together so the mattress and box spring could be moved out of the way.  So much better!

We were also able to move the couch around to the right orientation in the living room.  So much nicer than having it unusable in the middle of the floor.

 We're starting to see our rooms come together!  Once we get paint on the walls we'll be that much closer to being finished.

Making our House a Home

We've been working hard since we moved in a month ago (can't believe it's been a month already!) to make our house a home. We've been painting room by room (well, hubby has since I've been recovering from my C-section) and getting things put where we want them.

 We are still unboxing things, cleaning, etc.  The den became our catch-all room, the guest room now holds all our tools, and the kitchen is going to be a long work in progress!  But all the blue rooms are painted (our room, Max's room, the office, and the hall bath)!  Next will be the lavender rooms (our bathroom, the laundry room, dining/kitchen, and the guest room).  After that will be the yellow rooms (the hallway, living room, and den).  We still have some mudding to do on the seams in most of the rooms and some of the flooring needs to be put down still (kitchen/dining room/laundry room).  But we're getting there and we're so happy to finally be in our new place!
