Clouds after storms rolled through. I changed no color settings and did not tweak lighting on the camera - this is an as is picture!

Continuing Progress

So we've made some more progress on the house since the last post. The 2 biggest things are the new Oak tree Eric planted in the front yard and the new rugs we got for the living room and hallway. 

The new tree!

Living room with the new area rug- still need stuff on the walls. . .

The Livable State

Obviously we still need some furniture, have some more unpacking to do, and need to hang stuff on the walls, but it's coming along and is definitely livable.

Our New House- All the Before Shots

OK, duh duh duh da! Finally the pictures you’ve patiently been waiting for! The pictures of our house and some of the renovations are now posted for your viewing pleasure!

We’ve been in the house almost 2 weeks so far, and while we’re exhausted from moving and refinishing and cleaning, it’s been a blast. We love the house and Indy loves his back yard! Indy has also come to find out what a bunny is and finds chasing them a favorite new pastime. These pictures are all the "before" shots. The next post will have the intermediate shots. Who in the world knows when we'll post the official all done after shots.

Take a peek at the pictures- we hope you enjoy!
