home improvement

so, i know the last post on our new house was not very in depth nor was it decorated much. i thought i would let you see what we have been up to over the past couple of weeks. since i am writing this after it is practically dark outside, i still do not have a very good outside shot (because i did not think to take one ahead of time) but that will come for those of you still curious.

here is a better shot of the living room - yes, lee is playing the xbox and yes, those are boxes off to the side. i should have moved them but that's part of it right now...they are boxes of books that have no bookcase to call home yet so for now they reside there. i also need a good "something" to go over the mantle.

our new table and a look into the kitchen - anyone have any thoughts on a cute (but not too tall) centerpiece for the table? we may also add cushions to the chairs at some point for comfort. the tall fruit basket you see to the right through the kitchen opening as well as the corner stand you cannot really see due to the coffee maker in the back left corner are my steals from hobby lobby...one was 30% and one was 70%!the guest bedroom, complete with a bed (yay!), a new desk for the computer, and lee's sports memorabilia (with the future addition of a couple more prints that still need frames). the bedding in here was also an amazing deal...$29 for nautica bedspread and sham from homegoods!and, the guest bathroom - i'm pretty pleased with the color scheme in here. random, but it just needs a little trashcan and it will be complete. ha!come see us!
