house progress

we went to Van Hill furniture on Saturday morning hoping to look around and see what we liked. we knew we'd have to buy very soon because we're about 6 weeks out as far as move-in goes...and we ended up buying a couch, loveseat, chair and ottoman! i love love love it! the couch is a teal-gray-brown color, the pillows are patterned with browns and grays and teals and the chair is the same fabric as the pillows. very fun and funky without being too trendy. love it! and the couch is huge...8 feet...but hey, when your living room is like 17x24 you can get away with it!

we're still looking for dining room furniture...good thing we got a pretty good deal on the couches because it looks like we'll be special ordering the table. when you're spoiled with a huge living room you make up for by having a 7x8 ft dining room--impossible to fit a table you like in it! well, almost impossible. looks like special ordering is the key.

house progress: we now have a re-shingled roof and the piano room has walls and a floor! i'm going there today after working at church to work on scraping the garage doors. should be able to paint them and the outside of the garage very soon! i'll keep everyone posted if you want to help ;) it's so great to have things moving along at a normal rate again! can't wait to see today's progress. the electrician comes tomorrow to start putting in the myriad of different lighting we've mapped out in our living room, kitchen and stairway going up. yay! houses built in 1942 don't tend to have a lot of lighting....

we're getting there!

thanks for reading!
