At some point I'll update this enough so every post doesn't have to start with a comment about how I haven't posted in forever... maybe I'll make a new year's resolution to keep up with this blog. Ok, just made it :)
So, of course a lot has happened in the past 2 and 1/2 years. One of the biggest things is this:
In November of 2009 we bought our first home! It has been quite a bit of work but so much fun and we love having a house! It really is the perfect house for us. Here are a few things that we did because of the house purchase:
Here is a list of what I can remember that we've done to our house:
- removed wallpaper (lots of it! lots of layers of it!) and painted
- sanded the upstairs paneling and painted
- replaced toilets
- replaced old weird bathroom vanity
- ripped out old carpet
- refinished hardwood floors (already under the carpet! lucky us!)
- removed popcorn texture on ceilings
- replaced old light fixtures
- replaced all the light switch covers (simple but makes a big difference)
- transplanted bushes from front flower bed to create a hedge in front of window
- planted lots and lots of daisies around porch
- tilling and planting garden
I wish that I was keeping up with this blog throughout the whole process of working on our house and all the projects we did cause, I'm not going to lie, it is a little dream of mine to have one of those cute home decorating / project blogs that thousands of people look to for advice... maybe someday! ha! :) For now, I hope my mom and sisters enjoy it!
