Some Befores and Afters

The befores were taken before we moved in so you can ignore the decor.


Staircase Before


After- as you can tell we've had some painting done


Master Bedroom Before


After-Paint and our new furniture, it's still a bit bare but we are making progress


Kitchen Before



After- we've done the most work here: Granite countertops, new sink/faucet, backsplash, and paint. We still hope to redo floor and get stainless steel appliances eventually

I'll try to get some more up. The patio is the biggest improvement in my opinion but it's always dark when I think to photograph it. Let us know what you think or if you have suggestions. Interior design is not my forte.

Breaking the Silence

Well we've had a very busy last few months. Buying our home and the projects that come with it have consumed most of our free time. We've had a blast making the house our home. We've made lots of mostly minor changes. We've made some time for family and friends as well.

Mother's day weekend was actually my Mom's birthday weekend so we had to celebrate. Nate, La Tisha, and my mom headed to Austin for a long weekend. Unfortunately my camera was on the fritz so we don't have any pics. But we had a good time grilling, making a yummy cake, going to the movies, and just enjoying the company. Early June I made a quick trip to Oklahoma to visit my mom and Nanny. My mom has been there most of the summer which is the yearly routine. This past weekend Michelle spent the weekend here. We got to show her our new home as well as help celebrate her 30th birthday. We had a good time catching up and hanging out. Dennis continued doing some small projects and spent some time a little under the weather but is feeling much better. Now that we have a new camera here are a few pics.

I hope everyone is well and Happy Fourth of July!
