We Moved??

Oh yes we did, 5 months ago to be exact! AND that seems CRAZY!! I feel like we are just now finally getting settled! Whew! Next time we move I think I am going to find a house that is move in ready! Ripping up and laying new floors is a lot of work! Like moving and making a house your home isn't a ton of work… we just wanted to make it even harder! But in the words of Elsa (you know the sister from Frozen) the past is in the past and I'm too afraid to grieve… let it go… let it go! 

Anyways…

I have been meaning to post some before and afters but I didn't want to do it when Christmas was up and LETS BE HONEST my house was pretty much a disaster from November to… well today. The rest of the house still is so you won't see those posted here.. but soon!!

First of all HUGE shout out to everyone who came and helped us! Especially our family… couldn't have done those floors without you!!!!

The house still has some work to be done. All the trim and doors are going to be painted, I have lots of things I want to hang on the wall (works in progress) I am painting the dresser under the TV… the list goes on and on! BUT If I didn't take these now I don't think I ever would!

So here it is our incredibly simple and THRIFTY house. Couches are all hand me downs, dresser I got for pennies, kitchen table from an awesome couple from our church in PTown… Cute frames over fireplace and entry way are my grandfathers old garage door windows… the list goes on! Who needs new things, right??

Sorry for the bad quality of photos as well! I just took screen shots from what was posted online of the house because I forgot to take before photos ;)


What we did:
-Ripped up all carpet and linoleum and layer new hardwood flooring throughout the house… with the help of friends and family!
-Obviously Painted! Its Revere Putter by Benjamin Moore… awesome mix of Grey and Tan… love this color!
-Painted all the cabinets & did new knobs in the kitchen… you can't tell but it was actually a yellowy white… it is all STARK white now.
-New Fridge
-Ran out of $$ for the countertops but I am learning to love it… chipping off and all!
-Umm new chandelier that I got for a steal from Lowes… seriously, Lowes??
-Painted to doors and woodwork
