BUSY! BUSY! BUSY!

Busy, busy, busy is what we have been at the new Arnold house! After half a million trips to Lowes and 16 gallons of paint later we have officially finished painting...well with the exception of the master bath, I just can't seem to decide on a color! But, I am so happy to have this major task out of the way! Kyle and I have put in our time and stayed many late nights but I mainly have to thank my mother-in-law for this! She has spent many hours painting, while we have been at work.


Here are a few pictures to show our progress. Remember...all the walls started out stark white!

Our master bedroom is a dark chocolate brown.

This is the dining room. I love the 2 tone walls!

Kitchen is a mossy green color (looks much darker in the picture because we have already taken down the light). This may be my favorite color in the house!

The living room is a tan color that we decided to carry throughout the halls and the spare bedrooms as well. I still haven't decided what to I want to do with those shelves yet. Either staining or painting is probably in their future!

We are so thankful for all the help we have received while getting our house ready to move into. Here are a few action shots.  

Chris taking good instructions from Bo on taking the old light down.

Kyle working on painting the dining room.

Even little Maci wanted to get in on the action and help paint! (Oh! I just love her so much!)

I can't believe it is already move in time. We are going to start moving things tonight so I will try to post new pictures tomorrow of the progress. I will leave you with a picture of the first thing I moved...our wreath for the front door! It's officially an Arnold home!

Home Sweet Home

Yesterday my husband, Kyle and I made the biggest purchase of our life! We bought our FIRST home! We are beyond excited and ready to get started on making it our very own. We have picked a few colors to get started painting and are ready to get to work.
