New and Improved!



Almost everything is moved in now, but yet to be unpacked!


Here are a few pictures to compare and contrast the new digs... Nothing new to the kitchen except a thorough deep cleaning by me and Kelly.

For those who may be wondering, the banquette is still in place and still red. I am trying to work that color in with the butter yellow, sky blue and light green.... we'll see how convincing I can make it.
I didn't have a very good "before" picture of the dining room (which is now brown), but you can probably imagine its baby blue walls, carpet, and draperies. Go figure.


We conquered the dining room table Sunday night. She was a bear, but we finally got her inside. Basically it is an octagonal table base with a 300 lb. slab of glass for the top. Tyler pushed it up through the yard. Then we slid it across the living room floor on a blanket.







Here are some before and after pictures. The first set is of the living room. We used this same
color in the den and front bedroom too.

Next is our room which is set up for real life now.
Still need to do something with that light fixture
though...

















And here is the den. The ceilings look amazing, crisp, and smooth! The room lit up once we painted over the yellow and trimmed the windows and doors in a brighter white. We are really looking forward to this room!
















Here is the team that made it all happen! A huge thanks to the O'Connor's for making the trek over to help us on the holiday weekend and to my family for helping us situate things here!
