New couch!

We bought a new couch! We found a really good deal and couldn't pass it up.

 It was brown when we bought it, so we went out a bought a light grey slip cover. I love it, it is so so comfortable!

Then we got the back cushions tufted and I love it so much more! We still want to switch out the legs for a more tapered style though.

(The chihuahuas approve!)

We also painted the living room, dining room, and hallway. Its a light grey and we love it so much more! It was a blue grey before, which we liked, but I wanted a more true grey color. I need to take some better pictures, but I sorta forgot we had painted!

Cash's Playroom

Here is Cash's playroom! I made that picture using the Photosynth app on my iPhone. It pieces pictures together to make one big picture, which is why it looks a little funny. Its a fun way to get everything in the picture though. The new rug came today and we really love it! Its a Flor rug, Metadoodle in the color Blingy Bronze.

 I would like to add some floating shelves above the bookcase to put the Ugly Dolls on. I would also like to put floor to ceiling shelving in the closet to add more storage. Right now we have a dresser in there, but we would have way more usable storage if we put in shelves. To the right of the bookcase is a door that goes into our bedroom, and to the left is the windows.

 This is the wall across from the windows, and in between the doors that leave the playroom.

To the right of the dresser is the closet, and to the left is the door to the hallway.

Playroom

I hung up some shelves in the playroom yesterday, and made some curtains that Im going to hang today. We also ordered a new rug from Flor that should be here tomorrow, and then I'm going to finally post pictures of the whole room! There are still a few things I would like to do, but for the most part it is finished!

Just testing an app I downloaded.

Merry Christmas!

Yes, we are decorated for Christmas and we still have our pumpkin out! I realize how silly that looks, but I love that pumpkin and it hasn't started rotting yet.

 I got this neat cabinet at a vintage shop in St. Pete called Paper Street Market. I love it so so much! I've been wanting to get something like this and was so excited when I found it.

I'm still undecided on whether or not I want to paint it. I really like the character that the chippy paint gives, but I also think it would look pretty neat with a fresh coat of paint. We will see!

Kitchen Update

We installed new kitchen flooring a few months ago and I'm just now remembering to post about it!

 We still need to switch out the shelving, but I'm not 100% sure of what we want to use yet.

Here's a before and after picture (Or should I say during since it isn't completely finished?), you can click it to make it bigger. The before is from the day we moved in.



This is the box my Dad built to go over the hot water heater. Its magnetic as well as a chalkboard. What a difference it has made!

This is the best before picture I could find, its from when we first walked through the house. It makes me smile though because you can really see all the things we've done! You can click it to make it bigger.
