Updates

I realized I hadn't posted anything in a LONG time and even though the house is far from finished, thought I would give you a glimpse of what we've done. We painted every surface (except the floors of course ;-), so while we are still missing some decor and furniture throughout and definitely have some projects to keep us busy, I think our progress has been pretty good.

Upstairs landing. Painted woodwork white and walls grey. Need to replace the light fixture and add a rug to the landing

Another view of landing and stairs upstairs. You can sort of see where we added carpet 

Upstairs hallway. Has been painted. Could use some runners and some more art on the walls

Dining room. It's been painted like we are putting up a chair rail and one of these days we will. We finally bought the wood, so that's a step in the right direction, right? 

View coming down our stairs. We have a small foyer. To the left is the kitchen, to the right is the living room and straight ahead in the dining room. We replaced the old light with this new chandelier, inspired by my friend Justine's sister-in-law. See what an amazing job she did with her house renovation here: http://youresomartha.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/house-tour-sarah-mike/

Front room with Danny's completed fireplace! The shelves are a work in progress, but they are coming along. Eventually we'd love to find a nice piece of artwork for above the fireplace, but in the meantime, my parents loaned us this mirror. 

Bay window. We will be building and adding a window seat here. 

More front room

More front room

Our gallery wall is a little lopsided. We changed the layout some from the old house and we need to get one more frame to fill in that space in the top left. We also just ordered another chair for the living room and got an ottoman, so this seating area will be complete soon. When she gets home from collage, my sister-in-law is also going to help make some pillows for the couch from some fabric I've been holding onto since January!

Just a little shot to show how the colors all work together.  The kitchen is actually a pale blue color, not the same grey like it looks like here. 

Our other new light fixture. We will be replaced the one on the landing with this same fixture when we "get around to it". With the old wiring in the house, it was more of a project than Danny anticipated, so he's not looking forward to doing it again.

Right now we are working on getting the landscaping ready for Spring, so I will post those pictures soon and then we will hopefully be able to focus on the bedrooms. I forgot to take pictures of the playroom, so when I get a chance to clean it up, I will show you that too!
