Exactly one year ago today we moved into our house! It seems like yesterday (kind of). I can still remember how tiny the babies were when we moved in. I had a great plan to take pictures of our house now and then post pictures of how it looked before. Well that was the plan until the babies both came down with colds, and I started to feel like I am getting the cold too. Well this week I hope to post before and after pictures of our house. In some ways I think that it looks better than it did, but there are some rooms that we still have a lot we would like to do. The to-do list is certainly shrinking, but it is still packed full of stuff. So, stay posted for some before and after shots of the house.
PS I know that you needed to stay posted for pictures of the fireplace redo. Honestly, I am still waiting for the 'after' to happen. I regret to admit that it isn't all done. It certainly has been a thorn in my side...
Here is the picture of what our living room looks like now. We repainted the walls, and the biggest change that we made (actually in the whole house) was the addition of a mantle on our fireplace. We are 90% done with the tile, but we just need to put the finishing touches on it. I still have a lot that I would like to do to the front room. Most of the things that I would like to do are predicated on the twins learning not to grab things down and ruin them. ha ha. Notice that the mirror is the same over the fireplace. The old owners were kind enough to leave that as a little gift for us. I really love it.
This was a sweet moment while we were reorganizing the pantry today for FHE.
Hanging out after church.
