Working, working, working...

It's been a weekend of demolishing, unscrewing, karate chopping, and a little bit of cleaning. We're exhausted! It's already looking better though, and we are feeling more and more like it's ours. Now I'm just so excited to get it done so that we can live there. There's still tons to do though. We haven't even started painting yet. It's just hard to do everything with two kids running around (Luke) or screaming (Evie). It is fun to watch Luke try to help though!

Thanks everyone for leaving comments! It's so nice to read them and hear ideas for decorating. Oh, and yes, I wasn't kidding about the colors. I just keeping wondering who the people were that lived there. What kind of people actually paint their house those colors? All I know are there names. Hmm... Maybe my wonderful story teller sister could come up with a story about who they are.

Well, the kids are in bed, the house is quiet and dessert is calling my name. Have a great week everyone and don't forget to spring those clocks forward!


Just a funny picture JD took the other day.

We had similar decorating/painting issues with our first house. The previous owners were SOOOOO proud of the choking floral wallpaper, bright pink paint, three shades of purple in the master bedroom (including the door), etc. They even painted the baseboard heaters that were no longer in use...and the landscaping consisted of drainage pipes as flower bed edging...yeah, it was pretty rough! We made it our own though with a looooooooooot of paint and elbow grease! It took us a month of working every evening/weekend (with a lot of help!) to be able to move in, but it's so worth it when you can! Good luck, and enjoy the process. Take lots of pictures along the way to post on your blog! :)

I love this picture. Reminds me of a fun story involving a road trip and JD's glasses.......
