Is anyone out there!?!?

Hello if anyone is still checking this thing.....

All has been quite on the home front.  Summer is here can you tell?  It is very hard to convience J or myself to stay home and paint when we can be playing at the lake. 

So we have decieded that 2 nights out of the week we will began doing all the small things that need to be done.  Painting windows and molding.  We only have 3 more windows to be painted.  Then I have to figure out what color I want to paint the doors.  Should be interesting. 

I have however been on the hunt for items for the house to give it a "home" feel.  The icing on the cake or jewlery for the house...

I have found a few places around here with items that were major steals.  One store I was introduced to was the Christmas Tree Shop in Greensboro.  If you are thinking what I was before walking in was, who needs Christmas stuff all year round?! NO this store is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.  It has everything you can think of for CHEAP!  As my friend put it, "Big Lots on steriods..." 

Another store is Treasures Decor, they have great consignment furniture.  I am very picky and germ crazy, but this stuff is clean and doesn't have the  odors of its previous owners.  We lucked up on a name brand television cabinet there for less than we could buy the cheap one at Target. 

However, yesterday I hit the motherload of stuff.  I went to the Red collection in Greensboro.  It was like the consignment angels were singing.  I found lamp shades for cheap to dress up our dining room light and a mirror for 1/4 of the price of the one I have been dreaming about at Target.  I know J is glad I do not own a SUV because I am limited on how much I can fit in my car or I probably would have brought home more than I did yesterday.

I will post pictures soon of these finds. 

I hope everyone reading has a great holiday weekend/week and stay safe!

Until next time.  

Window...Window...Window

I am STILL painting windows.  AND I DO NOT LIKE IT!!!!

5 down 5 more to go.....
Our hardwoods are in the warehouse and hopefully will be delivered next week!  Hurray!  now maybe I can walk around bare footed!

Pictures soon I promise....

Life news--- I OFFICIALLY now have a FULL TIME job!  hurray!  I can attest that the saying that when God closes one door he will open another one is true....He has truly blessed J and I!  Thank you all for you love, support, and prayers through this tough time....

I'm BACK!!!!

Finally I am back....

I just want to assure everyone that this blog/house remodel is still on going.  We still have many things that NEED to be done but, it is livable.

Since we have been crazy busy....nothing to big just getting married! :)  Finally!!! i do not have much to post about as far as the house goes.

SO I thought I would leave you with a few pictures for the wedding....ENJOY !

Bad Blogger

Okay if anyone is still reading/checking this blog.  I know I have been horrible the past few weeks.  Just a recap I have been really sick and not done much at the house or much at all. 

I will not be posting soon.  I am on hiatus!  Next time you see any posting from me J and and I will be husband and wife.  YAY!!!

Check back in a few weeks!

Moving Weekend

Well the time has finally came.  We have slowly started moving in.  Well actually a lot has already been moved.  This weekend was getting most of the heavy stuff (thanks mom and dad for all the hard work) and most of J's stuff.  There are still several things that need to be done but we are running out of time before the wedding so, we will just have to work at it while living there. 

here are a few pictures of the chaos and organized mess we have....

ahhhh sorry future mother in law! :/

whats next?

Dad and J hard a work

Office/staging room

My mom knows how to make up a bed properly...you could flip a quarter on it!

Don't you want to be our guest? If so this is your room!

Our Room...needs a little but it will do

Thanks to the many auction sales I have cute "little" furniture!

Good thing we will be newly weds because that sofa only fits 2 (closely)

Ahhh starting to feel like home...

Already washing clothes...how Martha of me right?!?

* Oh yeah for all of you who thought I was crazy for filling up the parents basement with furniture....see I knew I would use every piece!!! Stay tuned! 

Wahoooo

There is light at the end of the tunnel.  Well we know that the house won't be completed by the wedding but it is finally ALMOST there.  I have one more coat of paint in the hallway and trim and I think I can retire my paint brush....ha who am I kidding.....there will probably still be tons of painting.   :/

 I have attached a few photos of the outside and our beautiful flowers that are blooming...  also our wedding site....
