House Progress {1}

On May 29th, which happens to be the day before the best day of the whole year, we bought our casa.

When we first bought it we knew it was move in ready. What we also knew was that we were going to fix up a lot of things to make it more Molly-Jeff style and a little more up-to-date.

Like my mom said, with ideas comes time and work. True that. In my head I pictured painting the whole living area/kitchen/dining room and bedroom taking about a day or two. I figure the trim would just take about two seconds.

Now I'm laughing at myself. I guess I don't have much painting experience to know, it's a biatch.  Mostly the trim and the edging, which I definitely could not do very well. Thank the Lord my Mom and Dad came up for a few days and helped us knock it out.

So now we have the walls painted, the trim painted in the living area, and are working on getting some white doors to match the new trim.

What I present is a little "progress report" how the updates we've done. They are small, but have made a huge difference in making the house feel more ours. Plus, it'll be fun to look back at the process.

Now if someone could find the perfect area rug or the living room I would just love y'all to pieces. Needs some colors up in herre.

Now for the difference.{and yes I realize we don't have any decorations yet. baby steps..baby steps.}

Happy 4th of July EVE! Hope everyone is blowing up tanks and growing snakes.
