Our Home

We are still in the process of fixing up our house.  And by fixing up I mean buying more (mostly used) furniture and cleaning the basement.  But, without further ado, here's the latest pictures of our place.  Disclaimer: The only rooms that are done are upstairs bathroom, our bedroom, .... oh wait, nevermind they all still need help!  Luckily some are just some final touches. 

Den.  This room is still missing a couple of pieces of furniture.  Between the bookshelves we want some sort of dresser to put some of our board games in.   We also need to do something with that small table in the corner.  I think I want to move it somewhere else & put a recliner there.  And we are going to change the smaller pictures on the wall as well.  We got some cool looking wooden frames for free (from the same place we got our free kitchen table & free but super ugly table chairs) that we want to put some of my pictures up.  We also just got this cool Canvas on Demand picture (from the Little Rock Groupon).  Its a 16x20 picture that I took the day Todd proposed of some lakes with low clouds.  They made it into a canvas that has the picture wrapped around on the sides.   I paid something like $40 through Groupon while it normally cost about $115 (or something like that).  Another great thing about them is I bought the groupon while still in Little Rock, but didn't order my print until the beginning of June.  They printed and shipped it here in about 2 1/2 weeks!!

The area that our kitchen table is in still needs one piece of furniture as well.  I really really want to buy a German Sideboard (hutch/buffet) to put where that little shelf is.  Lastly, I still need to decide if I want to the same curtain fabric on that extra window.  I can't figure out if that would be too much green in there especially with the tablecloth that I love so much.  (Thank you Ben Busler for the tablecloth!!)

The office/sewing room.  This could be a third bedroom, but for now we've decided against that.  I need somewhere to expand my creativity!  Or better yet, copy patterns and made things.   For this room we are still in need of a shrank and maybe some more shelving to store my ever accumulating fabric.  (My mom has a bumper sticker in her sewing room that says "Whoever dies with the most fabric wins.")  Also, notice that we are calling this an office, but we still haven't set up a computer in there yet.   Eventually we'll get there.

Full Bathroom. This room is pretty much done.  I just want to add a couple of candles by the bathtub.  We bought both of these cabinets from people leaving Germany.  It seems thats really the way to do it around here.  

There's that silly toilet again.

That's about it with the exception of our bedroom being pretty much done, minus a putting up a few pictures.  But, its too much of a mess right now to take any pictures.     Once we get a few more rooms done or updated I'll be sure to put that up on the blog as well.  

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!   Tschuss!
