House Update

So we have been busy worker bees since we got our house. The weekend before we had to be out of our apartment, we went to work cleaning, painting the ENTIRE house, ripping out carpet, etc. It was a lot of fun and we had a lot of great help but if I every see another paintbrush again, I will scream :) Once the painting was done, we made the big move with all of our stuff the following weekend and of course it rained off and on. Few days later we had new carpet in the bedrooms and and few more days later, Josh and my dad started installing the hardwood floors. The house is still like a construction zone but we love it and couldn't be happier. As progress continues  to be made, I will post pictures of the finished products.

This was the ugly color of the hallway before it was painted. My dad painted the cute heart on the wall.


Autumn and Angela priming the blue room. This picture does not show how truely dark the blue was before. We had to prime it and paint to coats over it. Not fun!


My dad and Matt painting our bedroom. I love the windows.


My mom was on baby patrol.


Katelynne and Wyatt hanging out.


Autumn and I painting the hallway a much better color. The carpet we are sitting on has been ripped out and is temporarily a beautiful cement floor :)


Josh painting the office.


The poor cats were so scared when we were moving things out of the apartment so the bathroom sink became their safe haven.


Buddy slowly getting used to their new home. 


The boys checking out the floors and drinking their beers.


Half of the living room is done (pardon the dust on the floor, it is from the saw).

The living room, formal dining room, and office now have hardwood floor. I will post a picture of it. It looks amazing. Keep checking back for more updates!
