One Month In

Many of my extended family members have been asking to see photos of the new house, beyond the ones posted move-in week, in which admittedly it was very hard to tell what the house actually looks like. The house has come a long way, and I really love being here, as do the roommates I have with me now. We've enjoyed it's warmth, safety and it's larger spaces, and it's really beginning to feel like home now.

While I look around and still see projects that need to be finished up... curtain hanging, painting touch ups, a mirror to hang up, new lampshades to be found... a majority of the big projects are settling, and I'm glad the house feels so much like home and is so welcoming already, just a month in. We've also just begun to decorate for the holidays. Just wanted to share a few photos...

This is the cozy living room, it's been painted (if you remember it was a very bright green) and it's become the hang out place of the house. The fireplace has brought an amazing source of warmth to the house in so many ways.

The other side of the living room, with the big bay window that still needs curtains...

This is the dining room, that had all the crazy wallpaper and the Annie Oakley lamp. It's now been the place of a few birthday and celebratory dinners.


The dining room from the other side, when you walk into the house the dining room's on your left, and the kitchen is accessed through it. (Amado loves to have his photo taken and as you'll see has snuck his way into many of the shots)...
The kitchen still boasts the lime green color the rest of the house has begun to shed, and is up next on the list of things to paint. Though with four girls, we love it's size and it's community space.

Last night my parents were here for the game and a few house projects. It was nice for the first time to make and enjoy dinner for them in my new home. More photos to come soon as more projects wrap up.
