Working, Walking & Progress

Matt using his drill again. He's used it a lot lately and absolutely loves it. Here he is taking of the brass hinges to put on satin nickel hardware on the pantry door. Yay!


I love that we can go out the back door for Nathan to blow off some energy!


Checking out what's under the house :)


Out on the trail.


Stopping to check out some rocks.

It's really nice to have the trail that confines him on each side with the brick wall. I can let him check out whatever he wants without trying to keep him out of people's front yards and the road!

This is the life!


A few indoor pictures. This was several days ago now but I was mostly taking these to show the new lighting and the furniture set up the way Amber suggested!

We actually have since changed this light fixture to satin nickel as well...nothing fancy, very similar, just a little bigger.




I'm trying to get away from the brown, so the pillows and paint on the fireplace will probably go. And of course there aren't pictures up yet, it will probably be a slow process of getting everything the way we want. We're trying to prioritize our spending and have had some people come out (actually a lot!) to give us bids on other projects such as a/c and exterior painting so we know what we need to set aside for these upcoming expenses!

You can see the new hardware here on the pantry door.


I realized I never really shot much of the front room, so I took some.

Lots of room for toys and Nathan's tent from Nana right now! That picture is on that wall now too.





We are hoping to sand and paint this railing white this weekend. Looks out of place with all of the rest of the wood being white. Matt also changed the light at the top of the stairs this week. The you see here is the old one.


The lights.




And the "after" of those popcorned ceilings!






Our front door hardware that Craig & Mandi installed. It feels so good on the hands!
