Here is some of what Ryan and I have been up to these past few months. Having our own house has been so much fun! It allows for a lot of creativity! All of the colors you see in the pics (except the 'green room') we have done ourselves... after renting for three years we were both dying to get some color on the walls. The original paint color in the house when we bought it was a sandy brown. I think we had officially owned the house for 8 days before we applied our first brush of paint!
I don't know if you can really tell that well but this room is bright orange! Ha.. it has probably the best view into our backyard. You can see the ancient oak tree in the back ground. The squirrels are constantly running all along its branches and they drive Boone crazy! He has been waking Ry and I up at 2am to go hunting... urghhhh. Below is our 'green room'. I'm sure you could never guess why. You can see we still have a few boxes BUT it's coming along! We'll get to it eventually. We are lucky enough to have four bedrooms but there isn't much storage in this old 50's house. We're hoping after the wedding to get some storage containers and buy a few bookshelves to help out with that storage problem.
This is Ryan's favorite spot in the house, the Florida room. You can't see all of the windows here but it is completely illuminated by four huge windows.. it is a really awesome room, almost as great as my blue kitchen ;) Below are the counter tops in our kitchen. I honestly think this is what sold me on this house. To me, these are the coolest tiles ever. I'm not exactly sure what they are made out of but I know I love them!
This is our kitchen. When we were first putting this color 'blue burst' on our walls, Ryan and I both were thinking it was way too much. However, once it was all done, it looked great and now this is my favorite room in the house!
We still need to paint the hallways and our bedroom and after that, I think we might be done painting for awhile. I'll keep you all posted on our progress!
Until next time ...
