finally... pictures of the house

well as promised i am finally posting pictures of the house... it has taken me a while as the holiday season has kept me busy. the photos aren't of the best quality, but here they are.

here is our bedroom

my "art room" which i still need to re-do

cody's music room

the living room

the kitchen

there are still a lot of things that we need to do... like cody finall changing the switches and plates after a month and taking down the ceiling fan in the bedroom, which i'm sure will take another month. all in all i am really enjoying all the space.

The New House

Well although there is still a lot of work to do I think that Cody and I have done quite a bit in such a short amount of time. Considering it's only been a week the changes that have been made with paint and simple decorating seem to have taken years off the place. I'm really enjoying of the space that we now have. I'm hoping that over Christmas break that there will be more time for me to do some paintings for the walls and I would like to re-do the built-ins in the one room and paint in there. We have some leftover browns that will work in there. Hopefully the family can come see it in person soon. The pictures that I've taken aren't the best and don't do the colors justice... although I'm still not crazy about the living room but Cody seems to love it, so I figure we'll leave it for a while. Happy Holidays to everyone.

Something New

Okay so I just typed a whole description as to why I was doing this and didn't save it or something. So I'll make it short and sweet this time. Want to keep in touch, and mom can't do facebook because even Sue can barely seem to keep up, hahaha. just kidding. Will put up pictures of the house soon.
