a.new.addition.

I love it when a plan comes together! We scored my dream sectional (see post below) off Craigslist for half off! The old owners bought the couch in December then moved. The sectional didn't fit well in their new (small) space so it needed to go. It's a sleeper too, bonus! We managed to grab a second truck and DH's dad to help with the move. 


I cannot wait until we get it into the new house. It's living in the garage of the new house for now. I would have bought the sofa full price from the store but getting it half off can't be beat. With a kid (and another on the way) and two dogs, it's going to get more than a little beat up. I won't feel guilty for buying a new piece of furniture.

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.

Hellooo out there

It’s been a long time since I was in this space and I forget that I used to keep up a blog. I still read blogs daily and enjoy them so. Everything from the professional bloggers/vloggers to the average person. I may prefer the latter in my honest opinion since it feels like real life and a bit more relatable. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you the current state of our world but to say the holidays are almost upon us and there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. One of the first vaccines was administered in my town in our state today. I’m not a 100% sure I’d get this vaccine if given the opportunity but I’m thankful for the hardworking scientists and frontline workers.  It’s been an incredible 9 months. I, like everyone else in the country/world, miss my family dearly and wish I could be with them. My folks are immunocompromised and while I could visit them I would hate to inadvertently spread the virus to them. Thankfully we can video chat as they are a bit more technologically ...

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...
