The new digs!

Well, it's been about a month now in the new place and it's actually starting to feel quite homey! Honestly, I think the logs help with the coziness of the place and we have all the space we need, (for now at least)! We painted from top to bottom, finished off the sheetrock in the master/master bath and put new carpet in the living room and all the bedrooms. I haven't taken pics of the completed mater bed or bath, but I will. It turned out way better than I expected.

living room. New carpet installed and lots of cleaning of the logs. They were just a little dusty!

HUGE laundry room! ;) At least I can throw in a load while I'm cooking dinner!

Drew's room with new paint/carpet. I'm always amazed what paint and carpet can do. The carpet in the rooms were like a blue/purple office carpet. Pretty terrible!

Noah's room. He's getting bunk beds and is pretty excited about it.

Master bedroom.

we installed the two windows as well since there was only one on the far left down low, which was a bit of a safety concern for us.

Cozy living room, at least Annie thinks so! ;)

far corner of the living room, which also is a small play area since we have no other space besides their rooms.

my little hideaway!

dining area, which has gotten a little makeover since this pic. Orlin did not like my arrangement, so he changed it while I was out. (pretty ballsy if you ask me)! However, I really like the new setup even though it was hard to admit at first. The table is now centered in the room and the entry table is against the window. Nice work honey!

cute little sign I found at Ross.

The kitchen. I had thought about painting the cabinets white, but I'm SO glad I didn't! Would have been a huge project and they are really just fine the way they are.



storage bins I found at Target which work great for holding sheets and towles. No linen closet, so I had to get a little creative.

the new arrangement.






coming together nicely!

Drew's room.

Noah's room, aka toy room/media room.

I am not a fan of having a tv in the kids room, but since we have no other area for an extra, this is where it ended up. It will have limited use and hopefully will be for an occasional movie or special show while we are entertaining.
