WE ARE MOVED IN!

We have been moved into the new house for almost three weeks…WOOHOO!  We were SO BUSY while Jimmy was home trying to get as settled as possible.  He won’t be home again until December 16th…which is about two weeks before our due date.  It still feels a little surreal that we are actually moved in…I feel like all we have been doing is talking about it for so long that I never thought the day would actually come.  Other than a few things the painters have to finish/touch up, a few things left on the electricians list, our butcher block counter top for the island, and our closets/pantry that can’t be installed until the beginning of December we are pretty much finished!  I am feeling pretty settled other than the closets/pantry, lack of pictures hung, and decorative/furniture things we need.  It feels like a dream house…now we just need our baby to make it complete!

New Entry…

Master Bath.  I was nervous about how the colors I went with were going to work out, but we love it!  Showering is a dream…afraid to see the first water bill though!

New laundry room/office…was the screened in porch off of master before.  I really love this space!  My mom was in town this past weekend and sewed these window treatments.  I love them!

Wet Bar in Kitchen.  One of our favorite decisions – an ice maker that makes sonic ice!  I’m chewing it as I type.

Obviously awaiting the butcher block counter top for island…biggest mistake of the whole project…we ordered the wrong size!  Yikes.

The dining room table was Jimmy’s great grandmothers.  We are so lucky to have it.  Jimmy’s parents had some old wingback chairs that I am having recovered for the ends of the table and the current chairs need to be steamed!

Living Room.  TV needs to be mounted…pillows to be made…etc.

Sun Porch. 

These chairs were my grandparents that I had recovered and the table was Jimmy’s grandparents.  My mom made all of the pillows.  I love these special touches.

It is a work in progress, but we have come SO FAR!  It has been nice having a space to entertain again.  We have already hosted supper club and I’ve had friends over on several other occasions over the past couple of weeks.  This was the main event that I was waiting on in order to really feel ready for the baby…now I’m just holding out for Jimmy to get home on December 16th and he can join us whenever he pleases!
