Kristin and Alix move in!! (March 16th)

Upstairs TV room...some decorating left to do, but this is one of my favorite rooms in the house...cozy and warm, sunny and bright.
Living Room...a great room. Love the color of paint we chose and the furniture looks great with it.
Dining room...Steve's furniture will look awesome once it's in, but for now we're making do with my mismatch assortment.
Alix's room...pretty in purple....and red, orange, maroon...never would have thought it'd all go together so perfectly. It's the perfect pre-teen room for her. Lots of character...and hey that paint on the knotty pine worked pretty well, didn't it?! Our AWESOME new kitchen is almost done...just the finishing touches left. Backsplash tile will be put in next week and the dishwasher went in last night (I haven't had a dishwasher for the past 5 years and I am in heaven now!) It is truly beautiful and uses every inch of the small space!
another kitchen view
my favorite...the beautiful woodwork!
Our room...a work in progress. The walls turned out a great bluey grey color, but we'll add some wardroble storage units on both sides of the bed to make the best use of the small space.
Upstairs there is a large...we're not sure what to call it....hallway? bonus area? whatever it is I sure do think it's cute with it's gas stove and sitting area.

Finally! A month and a half after closing, Kristin and Alix move into the new house. Everything is almost done, just a few final touches in the kitchen (dishwasher and tile backsplash), a few pictures to hang and some final decorating touches to accomplish. Of course the house is still missing the full-time presence of Steve, but he sold his place the same week I moved in which was a true blessing--no double mortgage payments, wooohooo! He will move in by mid-April and then the house will finally become a home (although I don't know where he's going to put his stuff b/c there's Alix and I have taken over the place. I guess it's lucky for him there's plenty of room in the garage ;)
