Sorry we have not updated this thing in a month or so! Just with the holidays, moving, and everything else that has been going on the last month, we have not had any time! So we took a few pics last night to give you and idea on how everything is looking..
First of all I want to apologize that some of the pictures are a little skewed. I have to shrink them down and sometimes stretch them in order for them to fit this blog format.
What I want to show you first is the room that is closest to completion and we're probably the most proud of, which is the bathroom. Gotta love the new shower curtain, shower rod, and finished tile!
This is new cabinet and towel rack we installed.
The new mirror, sconces, and hand towel ring. Please excuse the missing outlet cover. We have to buy new ones for the whole house since they were alternating white and off white.
The tub which we painted black with silver feet (and apparently some set of instructions is under there, just now saw that, lol).
Next we will take you into the master bedroom. We havn't done a whole lot in here since we got in. We did purchase a new rug from Lowes with Christmas money we received (so now I need a new comforter set to match it, lol). Also we installed our new plantation blinds through out the whole house. You can also see the finished product on the floors, although I don't think these pics quite do them justice. (Loved the way they turned out!) Check it out....
Next we move on to the living room. Lilly and Adam are kicked back relaxing watching a movie. The living room is still pretty bare as far as decoration goes, but there are still a few things to do, like finishing the trim and polyurethaning the mantle (so that blue stripe is painters tape, not part of the decor, lol). But we do have our new couches and rug in, so that's a start!
The spare bedroom is still serving some what as a "catch all" so excuse the mess. The quilt that is laid across the bed is the wedding ring quilt my grandmother and great-grandmother put together for me many years ago. Once we have a comforter set to go on this bed we will put the quilt up in a safe place. But if you need a place to crash, we now have one!
Now we move along to the dining room. The pretty orchid arrangement that is currently on the table will be moved to the bedroom once the chandelier is installed.
We also have a beautiful hutch, that Adam's grandmother gave to us, in the dining room as well. This will serve as a place for all the silver and crystal wedding gifts that we received (some of which are still boxed up).
We also picked up plantation blinds for the french doors as well....
Last we have the kitchen. We still have to replace the cabinets, countertop, and sink. But the floors are completed and love the open shelving for the dishes. Also I think the bead board turned out very good in this room as well. Check it out....
So that's it! That's the update for now. There are still a couple rooms that were left off because they have served as storage for now while we are still in the moving in/organzing process or we have not begun any real work on them (aka the utility room). But I hope you have enjoyed looking at our progress so far!
