here it is finished, they look exactly like our dining table, i love them and tehy were cheap!
All i have to say is thanks babe.September 1st was a year that Andrew and I have owned and lived in our home. It is so crazy to think that the time has flown by so fast. As i stood in my home the other day looking around i made a list in my head of the things i STILL need to get done, here it is
*Finish painting the 18 foot walls-
*DECORATE our huge upstairs loft- We have was retro vintage (ugly) couch and chairs up there,that andrew has agreed to get rid of:) and NOTHING on the walls but paint- solid color. I take that back we have an elk up there and blinds in all the windows, but NOTHING else. We bought a projector because that is going to be a theater room but we have yet to put it up, paint the wall for the screen or get new furniture:)
*Paint our master bedroom- or any of the other 2 for that matter.
*decorate the master bedroom and bath, or ANY of the bedrooms and bathrooms. The downstairs one and the upstairs bath have a few things in them but nothing compared to where i wanted them to be in a years time.
*patio furniture for out back- we did finsih landscaping the backyard however.
*choose what i want with my kitchen, it was red and now it is beige, but i want it something else.
* Finish stenciling the laundry room. I painted it green and started to stencil but after i put the stencil down i did not finish.
*find window treatments for the dining room/kitchen windows.
*Finish grouting the kitchen after the flood
*Finish the cabinet filler in the kitchen after the flood
and then everyday i feel like it is not clean enough.
The good accomplishments are....
* we have never been late on a payment, even after i lost my job at verizon!
*we have been able to actually help out family when they come down with a place to stay-that's always fun
*we have had the joys and blessing of making our house a home and feeling the spirit here. It is so different being able to "invite" the spirit into your home when it is YOUR home...:)
* we have made a truck load of memories with the work we have done here that can never be taken away or forgotten
* I came home to Andrew staining my wooden bar stools i picked up at a garage sale for 5 bucks! pictures to follow.
*we have our own rules, for the most part aside from HOA- No apartments and we don't live WITH anyone in their home so we get to do whatever we want. It is so fun coming home and being loud and not worrying about waking anyone up, or leaving the house a complete mess if we want to!
*We got our house for an AMAZING deal, even if the market never picks back up again, we are happy with what we picked and what we chose for our money! thanks to an awesome realator Kevin!
oh the list can go on and on if i let it. Andrew and I are so happy and proud or ourselves though with what we have been able to accomplish since we have gotten married. we both have really good jobs, we were able to become debt free, we own a house, 2 cars, we can pay our bills, we have an awesome ward with good friends, 2 cute dogs, a great strong friendship which makes for a healthy marriage and we are doing great. We are missing a few kids and i am missing my degree but that will all come in time! Thanks for all the love and support our friends and family have shown throughout this wonderful year or home ownership and almost 2 and half years of Marriage!
