Progress: Family Room

Boring beige (it was kind of pinky beige)

Action shot!

Now you can see the beautiful woodwork

The trim pops!

Love it!

Progress: Master Bedroom

Here is a before (although that is the new fan we put in)

It's a lovely red

patched a few holes

Ahh, a nice relaxing blue that goes with our bed set!

Apparently I don't have any pictures of the whole room completed. But, it's done!

House

I know that I have a lot to catch up on, but I am pretty excited about our new house! Here are a few pictures. Enjoy!

Well, I didn't take any in the basement. Maybe next time! I am really excited to start painting and fixing up this house and making it ours!

Typical Tommy

I love this kid!

Water Damage

So, we didn't have any flooding, but our ceiling did leak. It started as a drip, progressed to a small crack, started peeling and finally evolved into this:

The little bucket to catch the drips. Didn't plan on catching chunks of ceiling!

Welcome Home

My mom wanted to see pictures of our new place, so here we go:

(some pictures are blurry, sorry! and they are kind of scattered)

Puzzling

We thought it would be fun to do a puzzle as a family on Sunday. We wanted to do something fun that we could work on together and would take a few weeks of Sundays to finish. Paul suggested this:

The kids were happy:

I was a little concerned at the complicatedness and volume of pieces:

But, we started it anyway:

This is as far as we got after one session:

Not too bad!

Stay tuned for our progress!
