It's hard for us to believe it has been 6 months since we moved into this home--our very first. April 2nd we moved in and we have been busy ever since. In the past 6 months:
--We have painted 9 rooms (Family room, Dining room, Kitchen (and cabinets), Living room, Hallway, Hall Bath, Greta's room, Our room, Guest room) and one door. I am planning on adding two more to that list in the next week.
--With all of that painting, we have accumulated a lot of paint. (1) 5 gallon container. 8 gallon containers. 5 quarts and 7 samples of paint. (Yeesh!)
--I have written 135 posts (including this one) and Chris has written 3 for a total of 138 posts in the last 6 months.
--We have hung and took down a lot of art and photos in the last few months, but today we have 34 pieces of art hanging. 26 are originals done by me.
----We have nailed down a color scheme that we love. Neutral grays and blues, purples and greens are trickling through every room in our home:
--We have had countless (meaning I don't keep a detailed record) dinner parties and game nights with friends, family and neighbors. Which is one of our favorite things about owning a home--we love entertaining!!
--Greta has grown up. SO. much. in 6 months. It's crazy. (Photos taken in April and September respectively)
I hope when we get to our 6-month mark we have made as much progress as you guys! We moved in April 1st of this year but we've still got a ways to go!
Your house has gone through some pretty great transformations!!! I love Greta's transformation as well. :)
Yay for family and homes : ) Loves mi bubbas.
Awesome post!!! and ya....I can't believe it has been 6 months. Referring to your house, and also to other events taken place right around the big purchase! I can't believe it. It is amazing how fast time flies, even when it doesn't seem like it is. I love your color scheme and your eye for design. So talented. Most ppl don't even finish JUST painting in those first 6 months of being in a home and look at all that you've done!!!! It truly is amazing!!!!
What a whirlwind! Sounds great :) And your home is looking awesome!! I love that color scheme
