We're Moving! Turned Into, We've Moved!

Remember when I said we were moving?! Funny, I do too.
Well here is the post move post..


Moving was all fun and games..


Until it wasn't anymore..



But we are slowly getting the house together and I have been taking progress photos and this is what has happened since we moved in…


Lots of curtains have been hung because painting base housing ends up being way to much of a hassle since you have to paint it back and personally I don’t want to do that so here are my little ways I maneuvered around that issue..


(I'll add where the items came from in another post.)

The linoleum flooring is terrible so the rug helps distract the eye from that fact, it protects the furniture legs and ties in the curtains to give the room a warmer feel. (Longer curtains coming soon)

The living room was another story with four different windows a lot of rods had to be purchased and hung. Some important things to think about when getting curtains it to try to keep them simple and have them compliment everything in the room down to the frames of the pictures that are to be hung.

Try to keep the decorations that are hung on the wall simple too.. now I’m the worst about this I just want it up and out of the way, but I moved all the art up to a spare bedroom. That way I wasn’t tempted and took a pinterest approach to hanging art.

I did the monogrammed wall and kept it very simple with a few letters on in which I painted a hunter green color. 



While I was home I bought a huge cross that I had to have  shipped and cost more than the Item itself but that’s okay. 


I moved the leaning shelf against the back wall and purchased a second shelf this weekend and will be putting it up this afternoon (I hope).
Next I will be working on the HUGE white wall in the kitchen and I already have so many ideas on that so keep an eye out on my pinterest board Build Out Ideas.

Until then here are some general photos of the house.










Thanks again for reading,

Excuses .. Mine is Texas!

Excuses.. Excuses

 

I know there are no excuses for saying I’m going to post more but I have a pretty darn good one if you ask me! Last week I was in Texas visiting my family with NO COMPUTER… and it was awesome and my escape from the world! The trip was nice but now I’m back where I was at 6 months ago, missing home. I miss Sawyer more than anything in the world!

 

This post I feel should be mostly pictures due to fact they are wayyy more enjoyable!

 

 

I got to visit my favorite grocery .. To grab some must haves..



I got to see my awesome family .. Minus my aunt and uncle


I got to see my two best friends Julia and Pepper


Did some shopping with my mom 

:) and then got snow cones


We went to Louisiana too and I got to gamble for the first time and so didn't have beginners luck but that can't be another post for another time.

Thanks for reading!
