Getting Organized

I mentioned before that we have been trying to repurpose 

furniture that we already own.  Here is another bookcase from

the office.  It is now our shoe organizer in our closet.

Works for us!

Here is another bookcase from the office.

This one actually made it in our home office.

It's nice to be able to use everything!

Small Changes - Big Impact Part 4

Sometimes, all it takes is a good washing.

Now the lights for the ceiling fan will look brand new.

Guest Bath Redo

Before

After:  We are loving the double curtains and new valance.  

I made the valance from one curtain panel.

I added a satin ribbon to the edge to finish it!  What do you think?

Time to Relax

It's nice to have a hammock to sit back and relax!

But not for too long - have to get back to work!

Those weeds aren't going to pull themselves!

Small Changes - Big Impact Part 3

        

Bruce working on changing the kitchen lights!  He had six lights to change.

It's a pain in the butt, but worth the work!  We had the whole house painted white, 

so the old lights really stuck out.  It was time for a fresh change!

Bring in the New

Before:  Old, stained, green carpet in our guest bedrooms

After:  New, fresh, light tan carpeting in our guest bedrooms

Such a great change!  Looks and smells much better!  haha!

Here is another small improvement, but made such a difference!  Thanks Mom!

Off With the Wallpaper

We are obviously not a fan of this wallpaper.  Luckily it came off very easily!

See ya' later country kitchen wallpaper!  

Yahoo! We Are Home Owners!!!

As most of you know, we have had quite a journey in our house search!  We were down to the wire and when we thought we would be living in our RV (so glad we had one), we finally found our HOME!  We knew it was ours when we drove up for the first time!

You wouldn't believe how many houses we have looked at this spring!  Mostly covered in mold, leaking roofs, no front doors, or dangerous to turn the electric on for inspection.....do you see a pattern!  We were not having any luck!  It was hard to hear from loved ones telling us, "It will all work out!  Keep positive!"

When we finally had a little light shine down on us and we thought we had finally found a house; the rain clouds came blowing in. (A little drama always helps a story- haha!)  We went from a house in a rough neighborhood, to a house that really was not for sale and a plenty of houses that had higher offers.

But at the end of the day, we found our home!  It came with even more of our home hopes- acreage, workshop, garage, office....the list goes on and on.  We are very excited for all of our future home improvements.  This is where this blog comes in....we wanted to share our home with you!
We hope you enjoy and share your thoughts!
