Clean House

We have been in our house for a little over a week now.  We absolutely LOVE it!  We are super thankful that the Lord has provided us with this place to live to the next several years.  The last time I posted on the house the pictures where random, blurry and had another person's stuff, but tonight I will show you our blank slate.  The week before we moved in, I came to the house everyday and scrubbed during nap time.  I turned an $4 pack of 18 washcloths completely black by the end of the week, but we got there and now we are moved in.  I will post pictures of the rooms as we get them going. We plan to love this house and make it our own. I posted a few things that we plan to love on in each room. 

Dining Room:
Love - the size and location (between the living room and kitchen)
Needs love - Ceiling and Walls...need I say more o and a huge table for our families

 Downstairs Bath:
Love - Quaint, Currently Clean, Beadboard, Flusher (it pulls up)
Needs Love - Glass to come down, White walls need color, Vanity has a small crack
 Guest Room/Future Kiddos Room: (Ellison's room is very similar.  We are working on it now, so we will post pictures of her first nursery soon!)
Love - Huge room, Tons of light and storage, Original front doors to the house
Needs Love - Doors need to be scrubbed, Brown walls and Ceiling need a color change
 Sunroom:
Love - Love the light, fun play/family space, beadboard ceiling, floors are in great condition
Needs Love - Front door is way too open, not a fan of the color peach
 Living Room:
Love - Um....all of it!  Fireplace, windows, huge, gold features? (never thought I would like gold, but the antique look has me intrigued)
Needs Love - Paint touchups, but nothing big

 Kitchen:
Love - Large space, great layout, tons of storage
Needs Love - Color, color, color (we both had a headache after spending the day getting our kitchen together.  i mean yellow is my favorite color but come on!), o yea the big one...appliances

 Master Bedroom:
Love - the size, the angles, the windows, the nooks
Needs Love -  color again, fixtures (there are only two recessed lights on the right half of the room, but a ceiling fan in the middle with no light)


 Master Bath:
Love - the size, connected to the master, only for the masters :) haha.
Needs Love - Honestly color to match the master only in the room with the vanity



 Master Closet:
Love - Size, Layout
Needs love - Carpet (pretty sure their dog used to live in that room), Organization
 Love them :) My lunch dates.
 While my husband was at bowling league, Ellison and I had butternut squash and apple soup.  Hers had a hint of cinnamon, mine had pepper and bacon.  Yummm!
 O yeah...look what Michael found in the crawl space.  Time to get crafty.
