Our Home Adventures

Since we moved into our house, we've worked really hard to make it our home. In the first weekend of closing on the house, we had the WHOLE thing painted, Friday & Saturday...with the help of some awesome friends & family, that was actually accomplished! (My husband was very DRIVEN to do it)! Only the kitchen and guest bath were painted, every other room was flat white paint! We wanted to change it before moving in! Here are some before, in the process, and after pictures!

Here are some outdoor changes/additions. We didn't build the fence, we were blessed to have someone else come build it. However, we did do the yardwork, 1 week after moving in...before and after pictures are below. I think after this, yardwork and painting are my 2 LEAST favorite house chores, even more than folding laundry and emptying the dishwasher! 

Fence up!

Grill....yum...not much work here--until we started cooking...by we, I mean, my husband!

We worked so hard in the first few weeks of moving in to do almost everything....so we got a little lazy after that.  But back to it, and finished (with as much as we can do---that money will allow-haha)

More updates as they happen!!!
