Just Starting Out

I have heard how much fun blogging is and what it has meant to a few people so.... I decided I'd give it a try. I always have good intentions to keep everyone up to date on all that is happening in our neck of the woods, but it seems that time slips away so fast. There are many things I intend to put on here but, please bear with me as this will be a work in progress.

Speaking of a work in progress...

We have spent the last year updating our house and trying to make it our own. We have done many things & a few took major priority for me. Brianna's room was one that I knew the moment we saw it - it just had to go. It only took me 9 months to get to, but finally in January it made it's transformation. From pink flowers everywhere to a cute little girls room that will grow with Brianna.



Brianna didn't mind the pink flowers, hey at least it was pink! But it was everywhere, the walls, the closet doors, inside the closet, the outlet covers and even the light switch cover. The previous owners were wall paper masters & believe me I am no fan of wall paper!

I had some very good helpers!

Brianna helped pick everything out for her room transformation. The paint color, her comforter, the decorations, the curtains, everything! She has such good taste :)

Not only did we paint, but this was our (really it was just Brian's) first venture at scraping down popcorn celing. And low and behold, it was pretty painless (I say that of course because I wasn't in the room when he did it - but it seemed pretty painless) Brian then re-textured the whole room.

Brianna is so excited about the finished product that she just can't contain herself.

JUMPIN FOR JOY

We opted for these purple curtains to go across the closet. Much easier than trying to get pink flowered wall paper off of the panels on the closet doors.













With each project we do, it looks more and more like our home.
