Today marks ONE month of owning our home! We have put so much time & work into it & we're still not moved in. Our main focus in the beginning was getting the rental side completely done so that we could rent it out. I'm happy to say that we finished the rental a couple of weeks ago & we have some great tenants who are already happily moved in & settled!
We have slept in our place one time & it was so much fun! Most of our things are there, but we still need to unpack & organize everything. We are waiting until tomorrow to fully move in because that's when our washer & dryer are getting delivered! :) I am SO excited to finally be in our home!
Here are some of the things that we have accomplished so far:
- painted everything - we painted everything Alabaster by Sherwin Williams, aside from the downstairs bathroom which we painted Polar Star by Valspar & a couple of accent walls which we painted Classic French Gray by Sherwin Williams. I absolutely love how it turned out!
- replaced lighting fixtures - almost all of the lighting fixtures in the house were replaced. I had to get rid of the dreaded boob lights! Oh come on, you know what I'm talking about! ;) all of the boob lights are gone & we put these in their place. I love them so much! They are simple & don't bring your eye up to the ceiling, which is exactly what I wanted. We also hung an old (but new to us) chandelier in the dining room, a new lighting fixture in the downstairs bathroom & a new ceiling fan in the master.
- added hardware to the kitchen cabinets - who knew adding some simple hardware to cabinets could make such a drastic change?!
- painted & partially rebuilt the decks - most of the steps needed rebuilt and we painted them with Restoleum restore to help them stand up against the weather.
- aded backsplash to the downstairs bathroom - this is one of my favorite things that we did! We picked a glass and stainless steel mosaic backsplash which I feel looks great with the paint color we chose & the new brushed nickel hardware we installed.
I can't wait to show you more of the house once we get it completely done! I'm dying to do a tour/walkthrough when it's all finished, so check back soon if you'd like to see more updates!
Oh, did I mention that we have an apple tree?! Well, we do. We have an apple tree :) I wonder how many apples we will get? I'm guessing we will have a lot...
I hope you have a great weekend!
