Hoy Hoy: August 2010

Our House!

I took these pictures of the outside last October when we made our offer. Little did we know that it would be 8 months before we would close and that on the same day that we signed, we would get in the van and head to Texas/Oklahoma for a month! So after nine months of waiting, we came HOME. =)

Living Room

Before:

Before (this part of the room is still empty...hoping to find a free piano and some bookshelves....and maybe someday make a window seat...)

After: Not sure if this rug will stay here or go in Oliver's room....but for now, it's here....I'm looking on Craigslist for some small chairs to go in here.

Our old radio from Serena....=)

(I'm actually planning on replacing the material some time in the near future...)

Dining Room

Before:

It acted as the storage room for a while since we have no garage....

After: I'm still not sure how I feel about this split pea soup color....most of the time I love it, but sometimes, not so much.

Our new table

Kitchen

Before: with black appliances that we weren't planning on replacing until we were offered white ones for free....(we have a friend who remodels kitchens and had a client who was getting rid of his "old" ones...they are only about a year old....needless to say, we are very appreciative!)

Kitchen cont.

Pantry

Charging/information station....chalkboard for kiddos

bench from craiglist....

Family Room

Stephen's friends who watch over him while he works at his desk...I don't think I have a picture of the desk though...

My babies....(each at 6 months)

Uncle Kermit's jukebox

I don't have a before of this room either, but I think Nana and Pudge do...I'll have to get it from them. It was a mint green color with wood trim...it was the first room we painted. Eventually, we'll get a rug and some curtains and I might get rid of the red ottoman...it's seen better days. But it is definitely one of the more finished rooms of the house.
