Slow and steady wins the race to not have things finished first.

If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen a couple fun things here and there from our house! Isaiah and I got married four weeks ago tomorrow and time is flying! But we still haven't managed to do a TON. It's been a struggle to figure out how exactly to make our house feel like a home and still be able to remodel things. I don't want to be completely trapped in a construction zone, so things will be slow for a while. :)

Since I last posted, we got married, we all but completely finished painting our main bathroom, we basically finished the bathroom floor, we had my inlaws over for dinner, we acquired some couches from Craigslist, we opened and unpacked wedding gifts, we hung a wreath, we rearranged some bookshelves, and we're finally starting to hang things on the walls. :) Here are some progress pictures from the house! 

Our lovely wreath on our lovely door!

"Hunter's White" by Valspar. This is the color that we used for the upper half of the bathroom walls, and the lower half is "Lilac Muse" by Valspar, which is our go-to white paint for house projects. :)

Isaiah working hard on our floating floor! Obviously not much could be worse than the yellow and pink "before," but I absolutely LOVE the Franklin Hickory floating floor we found at Lowes. :)

Progress!

Almost finished! All that's left is the closet, threshold, and quarter-round around the walls!

A better angle of the color. :)

Isaiah moving in the new couches by himself. ;)


All tuckered out after working so hard. :)

A better look at the progress of the living room. :) That rug??? 75% off at Lowes because of a tear in the bottom. For the win! If you have plans to come over, don't expect it to look like this. ;) I already have new plans to rearrange!

And a peek at our new "playroom." :) 

I've realized that these pictures are already a little outdated. But what good is having a house if you can't change things whenever you want!? :) 

We have a couple fun shelving projects up our sleeve, but the short term goal is to have things cleaned for a birthday brunch on Saturday and having some of our besties over on Tuesday! :) But seriously, I can't wait to show off the newest projects!

P.S. Thank the Lord for long lines at the social security office that has given me WAY longer than an hour to write this post. ;)

  1. Jess, this is so fun to follow. I also enjoy our home, colors, mementos, etc. We just changed our dining and living rooms to gray with teal accents. Love it! God gives us big and little blessings on this earth. And then Heaven!! Hugs from here. (Not sure why the google account sounds so formal.)
