So remember that time I promised to post pictures of our new house after we had gotten more settled? Well yeah, that hasn’t happened yet. The settling or the pictures, that is. The day after I blogged that post I found out I was pregnant. And then about a week after that the morning sickness hit. And well, clearly those weren’t the most productive few months for me… Needless to say my office is still a raging hot mess, I don’t know where half of my earrings or shoes are, and we still haven’t totally unpacked all of our clothes. (Which maybe means we, ok mostly I, have too many clothes. But that’s another blog post.)
We have made a little progress though! We actually have a guest bed now, which I’m pretty excited about. I mean, Jake is too, he just wasn’t as excited about the fact that we went in planning on buying a comforter and came out spending twice as much because I couldn’t say no to all the little decorative pillows that matched so perfectly. But you’ve gotta have the decorative pillows! Am I right, or am I right?? Anyway. We’ve also started working on the outside of the house. (And by we I mean Jake.) It was vacant for almost a year before we moved in, and it’s definitely in need of a little love. So we’ve started the process of fixing the exterior!
Well, almost started… we just have to finalize our decision on colors. And man, I had NO idea how difficult of a task that would be. Why do there have to be so many different shades of brown? Brown is a neutral color. It shouldn’t be this hard. And don’t even get me started on olive green! River Bank, Crocodile, Lemon Pepper, Ground Ginger, Wanderer, Desert Shadows… Oy. It makes me miss the days of coloring books and markers, when you only had 8 colors to choose from to bring Winnie the Pooh to life. Then again, it was a pretty awesome day when I got my first pack of 20 markers…
All that to say, there will be before and after pictures of the house, assuming we can decide on colors ;) Happy Monday!
