Homeowners!

Well it's official! We're homeowners!!!! As soon as we got the keys in our hot little hands we started on our long list of updates.

yep....beautiful wallpaper

Good bye!

It still needs paint but I already LOVE it more than the wallpaper! After we tackled the wallpaper we took a break and had a sushi picnic in our new living room.

Then tested some paint colors on the wall (I must say we went on the test about 6 more colors before deciding....geez...decisions decisions!)

The following weekend Chris had to work so I decided to start on the fireplace.

Since the whole wall is brick it took me all of two days to get this done (and that was only one coat)! Luckily Nic helped and Chris was able to help with the second coat.

Tada!!!!!

One of Chris's employees (who is basically a pro painter) really wanted to help us with some of the work. We were still working on the trim in the living room but finished it up quickly so Will could come help. We gave him the paint and he took off!

AFTER!!!!

So we have one room completed! YAYYYY!!! Now 3 bedrooms and a formal dining to go! We're hoping to get most of the trim done this week and the painting the walls this weekend but we'll see.

I'll have more pics once we get the walls done in the formal dining. Just wanted to give everyone a quick update!

Much love -
