I know I have disappeared the last few weeks. Unpacking has been my main focus! After feeling like my family has been uprooted in one form or another for the last 6 months I have been on a mission to get us feeling settled.
I don't have many house pictures yet as we are still painting and all that fun stuff. However, I thought I would show a few pictures from the day we moved in. Because our closing was on Monday morning, but the house was finished on Friday, we were able to sneak in over the weekend and start some painting. (Don't worry, the building supervisor gave his ok) As always, I can't believe what a difference paint makes!
The kitchen before:
The family room before:
The entryway before:
The kitchen after:
The paint color is the same Sherwin Williams Upward blue we had in the old house.
(notice the "happy closing day" cupcakes we got for ourselves.....err...the kids.)
The entry way after:
I chose Sherwin Williams Repose Gray for this area
(That little wall beside the stairs has since had stripes added, I will post more on that later!)
Here is the outside the day we moved in...of course, the garage is now FULL of stuff still to be unpacked now. Mostly home decor that I need to decide where to put on the walls.
My favorite thing about our new house is the lot. We live on a street that dead ends at a farmer's field. There are 6 houses on the street and 8 kids to play together. My kids have had a blast being able to go outside and play! I have peace of mind knowing that the pretty much no cars are going to come down the street and the ones that do are the parents of some of the kids playing.
So in other news, Evie learned to ride her bike last week and yesterday we dropped McKinley at church camp for the week. So far, it's been a great summer!
