House tour

If you have already seen our house...
If you have no desire to see our house...
If looking at several photos in a long post bores you...

Bear with me.

Or don't feel obligated to stick around.

I won't be offended :)

Here is our new house! We have almost been in our new home for two months and we love it. We have tons to do...

Paint white walls and eventually the tan walls too...
Replace brass hardware, doorknobs and light fixtures and anything else that happens to be brass
Update oak cabinets... paint, paint and more paint
New carpet in some of the rooms
Knock out the half wall in the kitchen/family room
New tile in back entry/laundry and possibly some to extend our dining room

So here are the "before" pictures before we get started...

Main Floor

Kitchen

Family Room

Living Room

Master Bedroom

Upstairs

Makiah's Room

(I'm liking how Makiah's room is looking. I put up her curtains and I'm leaving the white shelves. Here are some ideas for Makiah's room.)

Daphne's Room

(I'll be painting her room gray, I'll take down the shelf, and I'll paint her changing table white. Here are ideas for Daphne's room)

 Evan's Room
(I will be removing the shelves, curtains and wallpaper. I'll be painting the room light blue or gray. Here are some ideas for Evan's room)

Also, Makiah and I made this movie today :) She rocks. My mom wanted to see a video of the house, so I am sharing it here. Dallas got a kick out of Makiah in this... maybe you will too. Again, don't feel obligated to watch.

Disclaimer: My house is NOT always this clean. If fact it only looks like this maybe for a brief moment each week when I clean... if I clean. And really. It never looks like this all at once. That my friends, is impossible with a family with three kiddos. Maybe just one clean room at a time.

Ok. That's it. I've got to go. Dallas wants to watch Downton Abbey and he is getting impatient.

Yes, my husband likes to watch Downton Abbey. Rock.
