I took pictures of our house today since it is spotless. I love having a clean house!! My favorite thing to do is clean my house and then sit on the couch. I still have all my Christmas decorations up...I guess that is the next project that I need to tackle. It is so much fun to have the house decorated for Christmas.
I can't imagine having kids because I am sure the house is always a mess. It is amazing to see how messy the house can get in one week with just the two of us. Can you imagine three or four? My goal when school starts is to work on the house every night. Before Jason and I were married, I lived in an apartment and it was always clean. I would clean my apartment every night before I went to bed. I need to start that again. I want it to be a habit before we have kids, otherwise it will never happen.
Here is our living room. Look at our beautiful Christmas present...Jason and I got wood floors put in the house. We have wood in the study, dining room and living room. I love it!!
Here is Jason's study. We hung up all of his team pictures. This is the soccer room.
Here is the dining room. I love this room. I have been collecting crosses since I was in high school. The lace curtains are from my grandmother's house...she bought the lace in Germany. The credenza belonged to my grandfather...it matches the desk in Jason's office. My mom found the table for $250 at an estate sale. It is a Ducan Phyfe, which I had been wanting for years. We recovered the chairs and added a new coat of stain and wax to the table and chairs.
Here is the master bedroom. I love the blues and browns. My favorite part is the brown suede wall with my grandmother's chairs. Jason does not understand why we would need a sitting area in the bedroom but I love it.
Here are our two guest rooms. They are not very exciting. Hopefully, we will need them in the future.
I hope you enjoyed your tour...haha! Jason and I are very proud of our house. We have painted every wall in the house (besides the closets) and all of the ceilings but one. We have changed the light fixtures, put a new sink in the kitchen, added tile in the master bathroom and had the wood floors installed. We still have a long way to go until we think the house it perfect but we still love it with the flaws. Our next project is the kitchen. We eventually want to get new appliances, granite tile on the counter, and a new back splash. We also need to paint the cabinets since they are a light wood and our floors are dark. Other than the kitchen, I want to change all of the brass door handles to oil rubbed bronze. I love updating the house and adding new decorations. It is so much fun!
