Yes we have been working!

Hello everyone, We have been working over here! Our things came in last week and we have been working on getting those things unpacked and things organized etc. This week we bought some blinds for the back 4 windows of the house. There wasn't any, it was starting to get hot, and we didn't like the fact that someone could look into our house. Have you ever priced blinds? Yeah they are more expensive then you think, and we only had to buy 4! Our windows are 35 inches wide, and for some reason we decided to buy the 34 inch blinds because they matched the length perfectly, well when we got them home, and started putting them up they looked stupid so we had to take them back and get the 35's.  Derrick put them up last night and they look WONDERFUL! It's amazing how much they add to the room. I thought that originally I might just put curtains up and that would look okay, but I am so glad that we got the blinds as well. I am going to put a little panel curtain on that back door instead of putting a blind there since we will have to replace that back door eventually.

Yesterday, I bought this little beauty of a couch off of Craigslist. Thanks to my Mom for helping us picking it up and helping me move it inside. It's funky, it's retro, it reminds me of a grandma's house, it smells kinda like a grandma's house, but I love it! I love the shape, and the clean lines, plus it will be SUPER easy to recover, which we will do one day! For now I am just going to throw some new pillows on it and call it done.

 So, that means the brown couches moved to the Media room!  Derrick setup the TV, and we are loving our little makeshift media room! There is still a TON that we need to do like paint, run wires, set up sound system, eventually get a projector or a bigger TV, but we love hanging out in here. (I think that it's funny that Derrick is just staring at a blue screen here) First movie we watched in here? Twilight: Eclipse, because we were in a cheesy mood.

 This weekend we also got these little beauties! I am in LOVE with the armchair in the back. The upholstery is in really good condition, so again for now I might just throw a pillow on it. The pink swivel/rocking chair is in less than better condition but for now I am going to just clean it up make some cute armcovers, throw a pillow on it and also call it done for now. So many projects! This chair is going to go in Magnolia's room.

 Speaking of Magnolia..... isn't she cute when she's sleeping? She loves her blankets!

 Got these cute chairs for the kiddies.....

 Oh, did I mention that Derrick had a birthday? 28 Years baby! Thanks to Brant and Chris and Mom and Dad for coming! We went to Babe's, and it was hilarious.

 I was just going through the phone and found these other two really cute pictures, Enjoy.

Still tons to do on the house as always but we are getting there! I might have some of my family over for mother's day for a dinner, so this is some SUPER motivation to get things done! Work, work, WORK!
