Happy 4th of July!!

From the time that we moved out of our old house we had about two weeks work of work that needed to be done on our new house. We moved in with my parents for those two weeks and got to work. On our new house the entire house was painted (walls, ceilings, closets, trim) and all the flooring was changed out. We also had the fireplace done at the same time since it had the same ugly pink marble as the entry way. We were lucky enough to have two great contractors working for us and they busted their butts to get everything done very fast.

While many families around the country were celebrating the 4th with BBQ's and relaxation, we put ours to work. We wanted to be able to move in before Adam's work week started again so our families were gracious enough to come and help us bring the furniture and lots of the boxes from the garage into the house. We were SO happy to be in!!

This is our family room, looking from the kitchen. The fireplace is the same tile as the rest of the house and a mantle would be installed at a later date.
This is our living room and dining room looking from the entry way. We found the three couch pieces and the coffee table for a bargain at the JC Penney outlet store.
This is our kitchen and nook area looking from the dining room. No, your eyes are not deceiving you, that is PINK tile on the countertops in the kitchen. We only had so much money so some things had to be put off till a later date to fix. We are still not sure when it will be changed out, but we are learning to live with the pink.
Our staircase looking from the front door. HUGE improvement from the dirty smoky stained walls and carpet!! I will take some more pictures now that we have some more stuff on the walls and post them soon.
