A lot of people have been asking about our house and how it is coming along, so...
We have been able to accomplish quite a bit in our first week here. We are mostly unpacked and organized and the boxes that we have not made it to yet are neatly stacked in the room they belong in. Will has started getting his Man room organized. He got his new drum set all ready for him to practice in the corner and Colin's train table is set up in the other! We have started to organize the lowest level (which will be our fun and relaxed area, so there will be toys set up for Colin). We still need a couch though. Will's new TV is also ready to go (cable guy came this morning) and Colin has his little toy chest and basketball hoop displayed.
The kitchen is getting there. We are planning on sprucing up the cabinets and getting new counter-tops, but for now I have it organized the way I like and even have room to spare! Now I have an excuse to go shopping for the kitchen appliances I have been waiting on! The Living room is waiting on our couches. We have the other furniture already. It will be nice to have a couch!
Colin's room is all organized and we have hung up a few things. He has a mix themes. We did not want to tie him down to just one, since he is getting to the age of having his own likes. He has some pooh decor (lamp, snow globe), some transportation (mostly firetrucks - a cute lamp and his measuring thing), and also some Super hero items (like his iron man night-lite and his spider-man poster)...so exciting! I'll post pictures of that once we figure out if we want to paint it or not.
The guest room - not even started yet, but I am going to use that room for traveling pictures and decor (pictures that I take on my future trips and some of Will's from Ireland, Paris, etc). Will is in the process of ordering a world map so I can mark the places we have been. I want to do a different color pin for Will, myself, and Colin!
I also have not started on any of the bathrooms, but will hopefully soon.
The first room that we have really focused is the Master Suite! We ordered our bedroom set (hopefully that will be here soon) and started painting. We did our first coat and need to do the second one this week. We have new curtains and put in new doorknobs. These changes have totally transformed the place! This will be the darkest color in the house. One of the main things we love about this house is that it is so open and airy. Will wants the feel of a beach type house without the beach (of course). So, we are doing mostly light breezy colors that will keep the house open. I wanted to do a darker color in the bedroom though. I have always like darker bedrooms and just loved this color.
I will post pictures soon....
