It has been a week and a day since we moved into our house, and we haven't stopped running! We are still working on painting the main level and haven't yet started on the lower or upper levels. And we thought going through the loan approval was a process...
We did take some time on Thursday to enjoy our wood stove and Thursday night TV on NBC. We've had a lot of visitors coming and going-- Theresa and Matt came with Izabelle on Wednesday for a cookout, and Dana, Nate, and Andy came last night.... for a cookout. And we cooked out on Monday. And Josh's parents bought us a brand new, bigger, better grill for our patio as a housewarming present. Did I mention I ate burgers four out of the five nights this week? I think I can feel my blood slowing down.
We tried one of the restaurants on Main this week too. The Pour House had a special on Mai Bock so we had to stop in for a few. It's a cute little place with an old-timey stage and some ridiculously tasty southwestern wraps (Josh had the southwestern wrap and I had... yes... a burger). The Pour House is flooded in character and good, good food. We'll be back... maybe after the wedding, so I'm not flooding my wedding dress in ... "character" come October.
We spent the majority of the morning registering at Menard's. It is amazing how you need so much more stuff in a bigger place. Josh was happy to get some nice tools on our list. I apparently registered for 2 five cubic foot chest freezers, 1 seven cubic foot chest freezer, and 2 ten cubic foot chest freezers. I'm not sure that Josh should have let me have that scanner. Luckily, I could edit the list when we got back home. Just the 1 seven cubic footer will do, thank you.
We'll post pictures once we finish up our painting to give you a nice before/after series.
Do you have a "theme" you're working with? Any details on the color choices? I'd love to know your ideas/motivations for some of the rooms.
ReplyDeleteNo, no theme, just design choices that reflect us. I suppose it is starting to feel "modern cottage" (Josh mentioned our neutral color reminds him of a cottage in a good way, and his grandma said the charcoal color is "exactly what is 'in' on HGTV these days.") And you know me, I like to try to get the inside to feel like the outside-- so we have got some leafy patterns and eventually a lot of glass. I ordered some sheer curtains that have been backordered-- so yeah. By June 16, we shall have flowy curtains. :)
