New Photos after Painting the Office...

Hi everyone, and thanks for checking back in!

We have taken some new photos of the house with some of the wall hangings up, so we wanted to share with you! This weekend was spent painting the office from its ugly yellow color to our off white. We also hung a number of things on the walls! We still have some things to hang, but we're getting it done little by little...

Check out the new photos by clicking here.

Hope you like them!

New Look...

As you can tell, we changed the look of the blog. The old one was a little stale, so we changed. What do you think of it? Let us know in the comments...

The Pink Monstrosity is GONE...

This past Saturday, while Anna was hard at work in her private practice, I went to work on the pink room - filling holes in the wall, sanding them, and then painting the room. It went from looking like this when we went on the inspection:





to this:



Since we also had our new bed delivered yesterday, we put our old bed into the old pink room (which is now the official guest room and is open for business) and we're all set.

This weekend, I'll be tackling the "so bright you need your sunglasses" office, so I'll share some photos from that once I get it done.

Have a good one everybody!

We're All Moved In!

So we have moved everything in, and I decided to put together a little before and after show and tell here on the blog. I hope you think the improvements that were made are as cool as we do!

Click here to see the photos. Keep in mind that I have added descriptions to the photos (click Show Info at the top right of the screen), and you can pause the show at any time at the lower left side of the screen as well.

Special thanks to everyone who helped make the move possible, including Bruce's Dad who did much of the painting and faucet changes, Anna's parents who helped us for a number of weekends as we were getting ready for the move by removing wallpaper and cleaning the house, in addition to on the day of the move by cleaning and putting up our bathroom fixtures, and Anna's cousin Liz, her boyfriend Tom and Bruce's brother Joel who were the heavy lifters! We appreciate all of your help!

Sunday, February 1

We were at the house all day today - from 8:30 am until around 7:00 pm or so painting most of that time. We have completed the following:

  • Kitchen Ceiling (two coats)
  • Foyer ceiling (two coats)
  • Living Room ceiling (one coat)
  • Kitchen walls (one coat)
The plans for tomorrow include finishing the second coat of the kitchen walls, and completing the walls and ceiling in the family room. It should be a good day tomorrow - lots of painting and hopefully two completed rooms - the kitchen and family room..

We'll post pictures soon!
