Home Sweet Home!!

I am FINALLY getting pictures posted of our House. We are definitely not done with everything but we're slowly getting there!! It is starting to feel like home and I absolutely LOVE it!! We have so much space and it is awesome to get to change things how we like them. We bought this house as a foreclosure which was actually in really good shape overall, it just needed a LOT of TLC.

The previous owners took all of the appliances and all of the light fixtures and the blinds...really random and annoying but I enjoyed getting to choose my own fixtures to put in. We got a VA loan and they wouldn't approve us until there were lights so we had to hire someone to put in some super cheap lights to get the loan and then we replaced them all when we got here.

The house was also a complete mess, they obviously had a dog and there was hair and yellow spots everywhere in the house, melted wax on the floors and scuffed walls everywhere. SO..when we moved in we started with cleaning carpets and then tackled painting. Dan's mom came out to help with the painting and she was a LIFESAVER!! We couldn't have done it all without her and it turned out great! Dan did alot the first few days and then he had to go back to work SO..I am proud to say thad I have now learned how to install a ceiling fan/light, and I changed all the locks! It was kinda fun actually to flip the switch and have it actually work!! haha

Anyway, here are the pictures that I have so far!

Ok, so technically all we did was add the ceiling fan, i'm waiting until Nov/Dec when we find out the sex of the baby to decide what to do with this room ;-)

This room is ready for anyone who wants to come visit me!!! "hint, hint"

I love the green color we chose, very peaceful!

Master Bath before

Ugh..this room I honestly have no idea what to do, we added towel racks because there weren't any..but it still needs some serious help...any ideas are welcome!
Master Closet..I thought this was 10x more space than we needed, it's about as big as our bedroom was at BYU

But somehow we're managing to fill it up with all our extra storage "stuff"

So there it is!! We still are in the process of hanging things on the walls in various rooms but it's feeling more and more like home everyday!
