We're in!

Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. Things have been busy to say the least! We moved into the house over the weekend, and it feels so good to be able to settle in and call it home :) Saturday was "finish all random projects that needed to get done day." Thanks to Dad, Jonathan and Brian for helping out. Then Sunday was the official move-in day. We were blessed by everyone's help that afternoon! We had lots of people show up to move our stuff, and Jim Benson graciously let us use his truck to haul everything over! That definately made things faster and easier. I haven't had time for pictures, but I promise I will be posting those soon! I can't wait for you all to see the amazing progess that took place during June. I can't believe how good this place looks. It's really crazy to think back to what a dump it was in March. Steve says he still has flashbacks when he's in here. That'll probably be the case for a while...haha. I'm going to try to do a before and after post for you all, but it probably won't be till next week sometime cuz Steve's family gets in tomorrow for Brian and Jessica's wedding this weekend! Wooohoo! Crazy fun times =)

packing the apartment...

We are moving in less than two weeks so I've been packing up our apartment and getting things ready for the move! It's a little bit sad packing our stuff and thinking about leaving our first little home together. But don't get me wrong, we can't wait to move into our new little house on Rokeby Ave. It's looking so good people!!! I've decided I'm not going to post any more pictures of it until it's done, and then I'll give you all a grand finale tour =) But until then, I gotta get back to packing....

color on the walls and tiles on the floor!

Lovely front door color..trim still needs to be repaired and painted

the living room...a goldish yellow. it's the same color we have in our apartment. love it!

kitchen with sort of a pear green paint and tile! looks cool with the chimney, huh?

the kitchen floor is almost done..needs a few more pieces and then grout.
this is the color for the bedrooms...in this picture it looks like the kitchen color, but it's actually quite a bit different..deeper and more toned down. I love it! It's a very relaxing color :)



bathroom color...slate blue. it's going to have real slate tiles on the floor and white wainscoating on the bottom half of the walls.



We pick up the cabinets tonight and the appliances will be delivered tomorrow! So all of that needs to be installed, the ceilings need paint, the trim will be done this weekend Lord willing. Then they will refinish the wood floors, put on doors, do all finishing touches, etc. Whew! Still a lot to do and not a lot of time! We'll hopefully be moving in near or on June 21 if all goes as planned. Can't wait to open up our new home to our family and friends.
