Home Sweet Home

So much for my goal of posting more often. It has probably been a month or more since I last posted. I guess my life just stays pretty much the same the majority of the time. Thankfully I finally have some things to blog about!

 I chopped my hair off again and weaved some blonde highlights in it. I really like the cut this time. It is super annoying to try and style because my hair likes to stay wavey but its worth the effort in the end.

We have plans to go to Colorado Springs again next month. Steven has vacation days and we are really wanting to see his brother and his family before they move to Alaska for 5 years. This time I will try to take lots of pictures and write about it when we get home. We are probaly going to miss the Day Reunion while we are gone. I'm bummed but I can still see that part of the family multiple times in the next 5 years. We won't be able to see Steven's brother, so we decided that this was worth it.

Wedding Pictures: Danita told me she hoped to have them in the mail last week. I haven't heard from her since she told me of this plan. So far no pictures.

The Basement is finaly starting to feel like home. I guess it just needed a litte bit more of "me" in it. Some style or pizazz. A couple weeks ago we found a really pretty comforter set for a really good price and then the other day I found perfectly matching drapes. I bought them because they were perfect! The colors are warm aqua-marine and warm brown. I love it lots! 

<---Living Room

I have plans for the living room to be black and white with red accents; like a red blanket and some throw pillows. We also have a nice card table that we use for dining. I want red placemats on that. And i would like some black and white curtains. I'm still looking for something I like. I might make a project out of it and make some simple ones myself.  

<--- "Kitchen"









The room we've been using as the office is finally clean! We moved a ton of Grandpa's stuff out of there, cleaned out most of the closet so that our storage could go in there and there were a couple T.V.s in the middle of the floor. One was a big box set from like the 70's...HUGE space hog. So moving the televisions out of there and getting our storage out of the way, the room is so nice to be in! I can finaly feel peaceful in there. I wish I had some before and after pictures, but steven had cleaned most of it while i was gone (a nice surprise). So, alas, you only get to see what it looks like now. There is a bunch of open space hidden to the left of the picture. It is bigger than it looks.

The bathroom is a normal bathroom. We have no counter space because we have 2 sinks. Having His and Her sinks is nice, but I want a counter. Before we move (whenever that will be :p) I have some projects I want done. The seal glue stuff in the creases of the tile in the shower is erroding away, so that needs to be redone. The shower head holder thing is coming out of the wall (it was like that when we moved in). The ceiling tiles NEED to be replaced (below are just the tiles you could see well on the camera) and the window is erroding. I think that is how our pet bugs are getting in. (we get a lot of bugs) How they survive the death spray steven used a couple weeks ago is beyond me. 

<--- The old, yucky ceiling tiles --->

Below are the rotten shower corners and the shower head.

And here is my "counter" and eroding window. Its worse than it looks in the picture.

 

There are custom built shelves and cabinets throughout the basement. I chose this one to put all my dishes in. It took me an entire afternoon to clear off enough room.
The middle three cabinets and drawers are mine. The entire center column is mine and the bottom three shelves.
Anything that is a book or not considered a kitchen dish/utensil belongs to grandpa.




So, um, yeah, that's it.
