A few house pictures

I guess it isn't as easy as I thought it would be. Moving is HARD! We even moved close by, but packing and loading was only the beginning. Once we unloaded everything into our garage, I thought that we were almost done. Yeah right! We painted a LOT, and moved in the big stuff. Then unpacked endless boxes (still not quite done) and tried to organize. It is hard to organize when everything does not have a "home" as my mom would say. There has to be a place for everything, and our budget and resources are running low. BUT, we have managed to get quite a few things marked off our to do list and are well on our way to making our new house a home.

Here are a few before and afters....there is still clutter around ..uuhhmm the kitchen....that just haven't found their place yet, but we are working on it!


This is the kids bathroom. The lighting is off in the picture, but all the walls are a dark grey/purplish color

before
 
Here Bailey is helping to get rid of the dark cave



After




The kitchen and antlers of the previous owners

 
 
the after...mostly just new paint, I haven't quite decided how to decorate this space
 
 
Entry and kitchen from the family room

 
 
 
 
The dining room before ( love the deer head above the master doorway)
 

 
 
The dark green living room wall. I have nothing against dark green, but when the whole house was so dark, it had to go!

 
 
and the very plain after
(still deciding what to do with the huge wall, I may need some design advice from Trent's sister Kristy)
 
 
Entry nook before

 
and after
 
 
 
 
 

Nicks room is almost done and just needs a few more additions to make it perfect . We left the walls the same since only one wall was painted grey...but, I am thinking of painting a baseball on the wall (that I saw on Pinterest.)
 



And Baileys is bare...hers will be fun but a little more expensive, so we will wait until after Disneyland before we tackle that one...
 


 
 
The master, office and bonus rooms are the last of my priorities and may never get done.
 
It will be awhile before I finish all my to do list, but I feel like we have done quite a bit in just a month and love my new home!
