Newest House Photos

Here are the newest photos of the bedrooms

and bathrooms. Lee's room has changed the

most since he recently got his new twin bed

and matching furniture. He loves, loves, loves

it and loves to show it to anybody who comes

to visit (even if they've already seen it!):

Jessalyn's room:

I especially love the backgrounds she made for her fish tanks:

House (Interior) Update

I've been trying to get the inside of the house decorated and more "lived in" looking. The main living areas are just about finished. The main thing the den lacks is the shelf/ledge that Tom is planning to build to go in between the two book cases. I want to put a large canvas portrait of the children there, along with some other items. We are also eventually going to replace the green love seat and get a storage ottoman which can also serve as additional seating or a coffee table.

Getting Settled In

Well, we are all moved in and getting settled. There are still a zillion boxes to go through, but luckily I can hide most of them in the attic until I'm ready to go through them. There's barely anything on the walls yet and we still have some furniture, rugs and curtains to buy, but I'm finding that this all takes time (not good for those of us who are not patient).

BUT I LOVE OUR NEW HOUSE! It's beautiful, wonderful, comfortable, spacious, and just plain fantastic. Tom still has a few month's work ahead of him to complete the outside, but we're really almost done.

These photos were taken about 5 minutes before my BUNCO friends came over the other night, so that's why there's nobody in them:

Lee's New Room

This is the bedding for Lee's new room. The striped material at the top is the bed skirt and the airplanes is the bed sheet (I also have a striped bed sheet to match the skirt). I don't normally buy crib quilts since babies can't use them, but I plan on using it on Lee's toddler bed when he moves out of the crib.

Here are the three canvases that I've been painting to go on his wall above the crib. His curtains are garnet and I think it's all going to look very nice together!
