Getting Settled

We've gotten lots of questions as to how our new home is coming along and if we are "getting settled." I think the key word there is "getting!" Each weekend brings us closer to "being done" and feeling like this is more our home. This weekend, projects included finishing painting the guest bedroom, downstairs bathroom and porch ceiling. We also continue to figure out what to hang on walls, what goes in this closet, etc. Saturday night we enjoyed the firepit my Dad made for us, for the first time. Here's a few pics of rooms and our progress. Downstairs bathroom. This was formerly plaid wallpaper on the bottom and lady bug wallpaper on the top.
Kitchen. Repainted a "fine wine" accent wall and "creamy oat" on the surrounding walls. Formerly terracotta.
Three season porch. We painted the ceiling blue, modeled after the many homes we saw in Savannah with blue porch ceilings. We were told it was to keep out the evil spirits. We just think it looks cool and reminds us of our trip down south!
Justin working on installation of curtain tie back hooks in the guest room.
A sunset from our backyard this evening. Many people have told us we have tall corn. So, farm kids we are, we took some photos by the corn in our backyard tonight!

The new house looks great! I wish I was able to paint in our place. But it's hardly worth it when we have to move out in three years. I hope you are enjoying your new surroundings! Have a great start to your school year! I bet things are really starting to pick up for you!!
