One year and a half and counting......projects ? Projects ! Projects...it never ends !

Hello Everyone.. we have not been on here in so long I figured I would do one post to update everything we have been doing in the last year ...there is some DIY, some hired contractors and some pure decorating  :)..This is really long with many pics.. so grab your coffee ladies lol!!! This is our guest bathroom... we ripped out the original vanity that had only one sink in it on the left hand side of the cabinet.. it was bugging me and we couldnt redo all of the plumbing to make two sinks so we found this cute Allen and Roth Vanity and top at Lowes... its a three piece unit and fits like a glove.. we Spackled and spackled and spackled some more since tearing out the old vanity caused lots of rips and holes in the drywall.. we like this vanity since it makes the home a little more custom

 My hubby did all of the plumbing  and I painted and cauked the trim that was moved.. The color is Accessible beige by SW.. we still have a little ways to go with a mirror, shower curtain decoration ect..

We hired out for this job which was basically install crown molding throughout the rest of the house.. the contractor was great and gave us an amazing deal... he even did these HUGE boxes for us .. they are 4x6 feet boxes and make the foyer look so different... still not sure what to put in them.. any ideas?

Here is our first guest bedroom.. the color is on the rocks by SW.. its a light grey and I LUURRVVE it !!! The furniture was from Pier One.. I think they were on clearance  so we got it for such a good deal!! we DIY those pics on the wall from some clip art we found on the web and put them in cheap frame

Here is the other guest room.. its almost identical to the other one.. except its accessible biege from SW and has the darker version of the bedset from Pier One...

More pics of the boxes....

Here is the office with furniture from Raymore and Flanigan... I tried my hand at stripes and thougt they came out pretty nice !! So hard to get a full pic of the room...the colors are latte and Kilim Beige from SW

These pics show all the crown molding that was installed throughout the house.. it really does make such a difference for a small price....

Here is another pic of the guest room bathroom vanity

No DIY just organized !!

Other side of foyer with boxes

This pic is of our front coat closet that my awesome hubby DIYed into organized shelf heaven.. left side for all our shoes and basket full of gloves and such and the right side for tall boots ect.. these sides were such wasted space for us !

Here is our cute downstairs half bath.. color is latte and believe it or not the crown looks great in here against the dark color!!

This was one of our best DIY projects ever .. we tore out all of those wire shelves that were horrible and bought closet organizer shelves from Lowes and put it all together designing this...sooo nice to see and find everyting

So far so good.. we are still chugging away but losing speed now that the nice weather is here.. next up is our walkways steps and landscaping that we be completed late July and then hopefully some nice light granite.(Someday). Hope all is well with all of you and hope you liked all the updates!! what is everyone else up to ? tired of projects yet??? :)

Almost finished Guest Room

Happy Holidays everyone.. hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas..... just posting a couple of after xmas shots before the whole things comes down !!! Also, since we have had family coming and staying over this holiday season we finally "almost" finished our guest bedroom... we posted some pics.. what does everyone think of the colors. grey, cream and a little yellow!!

Christmas decor already!!!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.....We usually dont have our Christmas decor up this early  but we trade off hosting Christmas and Thanksgiving each yr and we were the host for thanksgiving..so basically everything went up before the big day family came into town! Whew.. Bigger home equals lots of work for holiday decorations..we are exhausted after this week! . When does everyone put up their decorations??

Living room space transformed into an office....

We are almost finished with our office... We dont have any pop colors in our decor so we did a stripe accent wall to make it stand out instead! ... So here it is living room turned office suite instead :)

HOUSE LOVE......

I dont know if I ever share updated photos of the outside of our home. We have elevation D Victoria Falls... Also some pics of our neighborhood and trails....its sooo pretty this time of year......We think we may be putting in grey stone up the front column next year as well as landscaping and walkways....still LOTS of work to complete! 

Some finished projects! Some updates ! 10 month review!

If anyone has been following our blog, you guys know that we had that huge garage door incident.... Well Ryan homes did step up to the plate, got involved and ended up resolving it... We had the entire garage door and rail system replaced...whew!
With our ten month review... Well that has been very long .... We scheduled for the main person from ryan to come out ..he reviewed our list ..fixed some things..and then had to call out other guys to fix other things.. So we took yet another day off.. Well those guys came and went and yet we had to take another day off for more guys to come fix more things.. They are still NOT finished yet and this has been going on since the beginning of september!....

We did get our pantry project finished yay!! And it is beautiful ( never thought i would say a pantry is beautiful lol! ) but it is!!! And really functional with the huge drawers... We have so much left over room!  All the props goes to my terrific hubby for getting this finished!!!!! Here are some pics.. What do you guys think?... Has anyone been working on projects?



I also added some backyard pics... The leaves are at peek and are sooo pretty! We love our home :)
