Home At Last!

We are officially moved in! It's so surreal and so wonderful to finally be in our house! Here are some pictures I took on Saturday before all the chaos of boxes and furniture set in. :)



Our new kitchen!!!





We have a huge island which we have already been living around this weekend! :)









TL, my mom, and my sister Hayley cleaned the new house all day Saturday while my dad and I packed up our rental house...

The finished sunroom! I think it's my favorite spot in the house...

Lots of Progress!



Our new front door! Soon to be painted and stained...



View of the fence being put up on the right side of the house.



The finished fence! It will someday be white :)



New fenced-in backyard with grass-a-growin!





New picket fence next to our driveway...it too will someday be white... :)



New landscaping getting started today (August 27)...



The very beginnings of landscaping...



New hardwood in the living room! (First room on the right when you walk in the front door.) TL and my dad started around 5 on Sunday and finished by 9...the hardest workers in town!



Painted dining room...



Our kitchen is finally taking shape! This is the beginning of our cabinets being installed (key word: beginning)...they still have work to be done on them and the remaining cabinets will be installed in a week or so. The island is far from finished...it's not in the exact spot it will go either. Appliances will be delivered next week!





View of kitchen from den.



The den off of the kitchen.. new paint.. new fireplace coming soon.. white built-ins and mantle coming soon.. lots of work still to be done in this room...



Cheery new laundry room! :)



They finished the raised ceiling in the sunroom/ breakfast room! The room feels so much bigger. It's where we're stashing stuff for now though... can you tell?



Painted master bedroom...



Painted master bathroom... it's my perfect bathroom color!






Master closet



Marcos and his guys installed our new doors this week! They're very cottagey. :) (Yes that's a word.) This is the bedroom door.



Cheery upstairs office



Upstairs guest bathroom... new tile, new vanity, new paint, new toilet, etc. Still need to pull down the blue tape...



Upstairs hallway...



Guestroom at the end of the hallway...



2nd guestroom... still trying to decide on the paint color...



Different view of the upstairs hallway. Hardwood will go down in the hallway soon.
