Housewarming

We've done a lot of work to the house, but there is still a ton left to do.  Even though we're not finished (don't know if we'll ever be), here is a tour of our progress thus far.....

STAIRS

We painted and stained this beauty ourselves. It took 1 week everyday after work. And while I almost had a heart attack, Ronnie perched himself above the stairs and installed the lantern pendant. Love him, love the pendant, and glad they are both intact.

LIVING ROOM

We painted the entire house (walls, ceilings, moldings, trim, and doors) in Benjamin Moore's China White. The one color approach does a great job of making our low-ceiling rooms appear much larger. Or maybe its the lack of furniture. Installing the mantel is the next item on the to-do list. 

FAMILY ROOM/KITCHEN/OFFICE

We love this house because of its open floor plan.  The kitchen, living room and office are open to one another. It is especially nice when we have large parties. Yes, we've already hosted a few.

OFFICE

We think this once was a billiard room. But it works better for us as an office.

MASTER BATH

A fresh coat of paint, light fixtures, mirrors and hardware were all this bathroom needed.  Even though we still have a few light fixtures to install and curtains to hang, its my favorite room in the house. 

MASTER CLOSET

We love our IKEA his and hers closets so very much that they almost make us forget the torture we went through to install them. Count them...10 miserably long and exhausting hours. I'm happy to report that we survived and we're still married.
