Move in Time

My husband and I spent the first two and a half weeks of home ownership updating our house and getting it ready to move in to. We knew that we needed to do something about the kitchen, so we came up with the bright idea to paint the cabinets white. And boy was it ever a bright idea, so bright in fact that it made the kitchen less dark and more inviting.

What a huge difference a little bit of paint makes. We also updated the lighting, put up a new tile backsplash, and replaced the outdated faucet.

One of the biggest changes was that we removed the built in desk and cabinet in the corner to give room for a proper eat in kitchen.

Next up was the master bedroom. It wasn't as drastic of a change, but a little new paint, a new light fixture and a built in headboard made it feel more cozy.

 The basement also got it's own treatment as we turned a hall way into a bar area and the large family room into a family room plus dining room.

We didn't actually do this before we moved in, but I don't have enough pics to make a full page out of it.

We added new lighting, a new media stand and painted, then stenciled the wall to make it a focal point.
