family.room.



One day while waiting for some showings to be complete we ran to our local furniture store. I always wanted a sectional but our current room was too small to accommodate one. We decided upon leather because well that's what we have now and it works wonderfully with a toddler and pets. To give the other half a better idea of what I wanted to do with our new family room I created a little mood board. I'd like to have an accent wall in a either a blue or gray color and then tan for the rest of the walls.

the.new.house.

It's a funny story about how we found the new house. I adore cyber house hunting and stumbled across this gem a few months before we became serious about moving. The home was perfect: 4 bedroom plus a bonus room, 2 car garage, 2 living spaces, a rec room, and most importantly backing to open space. Early on we decided that having a private back yard was the most important aspect in a new home. After this requirement we knew we needed 4 bedrooms (or 3 and an office space), a 2 car garage at least, and a basement.  We toured approximately 8 homes (only 4 with our realtor) before we knew we needed to put in an offer or we'd lose the home I so desperately wanted.  So far things are good. I haven't started counting all my chickens just yet, there could still be some hiccups along the way. Here's a sneak peak. It's a huge reason we bought the house.

flooring.

The new house has laminate flooring installed on the main and basement floors. I'm not opposed to laminate but the laminate in the house looks cheap. We installed laminate in our current home in a cherry color and it looks much more rich and less like laminate. Not wanting to do the laminate thing again we are opting for wood floors. We're pretty sure we'll be doing the new flooring within a short amount of time after moving in. Just the other day I came across another flooring option. Not wood and not laminate. Something supposedly more durable, water proof, and less expensive than wood. Reviews are decent for this new product and we're intrigued. I'm leery of this new product since we thought laminate was more durable than wood. I'm also afraid the look won't look like wood. It's vinyl plank flooring. The product we've heard rave reviews on is by Traffic Master called Allure. We'd like the wood installed in the bathrooms but we're wor...

It's been a long time

It's been a long time since I updated. In the past 8 months or so we've settled into our new home, welcomed a new baby, and survived the first few months with two young kiddos. We've made some small progress at changing the home, nothing major though. I think the biggest and still on going project has been painting. I knocked out the most needed painting before the baby arrived. Now I cannot seem to find the time or energy to finish up the smaller areas (master bath, kids bath, and guest room). I have paint purchased for at least two of the spaces.
