Latest House Updates

We had a very, very productive weekend. We had some BEAUTIFUL weather (rare for Ohio, if you ask me) and got a lot done outside. We worked on the flower beds and the lawn and have most of it cleaned up and weeded -- disadvantage of a larger lot! But with this larger lot we do have a "fire pit" of sorts -- should be loads of fun this summer! :)

We also finished painting the old nursery (now guest room #1) from a minty green and sky blue (including a nursery-rhyme border, a blue ceiling, and yellow doors) into what we have now, which is a nice taupe and burgandy (tan and red for those of you who aren't up on the colors)! ;) And we also finished arranging guest room #2, which we did not paint over as it looks quite nice the way it is. It is a bright blue and tan with cream accent trim around the room. It will be a perfect room if we ever have a second child and it turns out to be a boy. And for those of you getting excited about us having another child -- calm down! There are no plans as of yet! :)

We're planning to paint our bedroom over the next couple weeks -- hopefully having it done by Memorial Day Weekend when we're having a bunch of friends into town. It will be going from a baby-boy-blue to a nice warm ivory. I'll post pictures once that is finished as well.

The house is looking really great and we've enjoyed only having to paint and not do demolition! :)
