househousehouse

We had a busy weekend. We finally bought short nails and could put up pictures around the house, as well as hang our wedding quilt from grandma Marcie. (Good thing we have a quilt from Grandma Mary to snuggle with, our wall quilt is apparently too fragile!)

We also bought ourselves a little can of chalkboard paint, and painted a wall in our living room. It had barely dried before we colored all over it. We LOVE it. Sadly, all my pictures of it turned out blurry. They room was dark and I was having a hard time holding the camera still.

Our kitchen was finished a few weeks ago, but I’m finally posting some pictures.

So, this isn’t exactly extreme home makeover, but it’s starting to look like a pretty house, right.

We loooooove it.

These are some pictures from the living room.

Our living room also includes two bookcases. Isn't it funny? We have yet to really combine our books, and you can tell, my shelves are much more cluttered and messy.

Then, of course, our beautiful kitchen.

Look how clean and white!

We love to have couples over for dinner, too. Travis and I should be professional hosts, since we both get super excited and clean the house and cook tasty food.

Last night Travis made homemade fish sticks from Trout that Chris brought over, and mashed potatoes from real potatoes.

I made an Angel Pie (family favorite) and over half of it had disappeared before I remembered that I promised Grandma I’d take pictures of it.

Oops, sorry Grandma. I turned out perfect though. Each of us had two pieces and the pie was gone within an hour.

It was TASTY!

The shelves you put up most be really strong to be able to hold your Kitchen Aid! Your house looks very cute. I don't think your shelves look more cluttered, besides Travis has more room.

Glad your Angel Pie turned out good! Love the shelves that Travis put up. It adds charm to your kitchen. So do the lovely quilts!

the house looks so pretty, new paint does wonders, Alison has a chalk board wall in her bedroom and just loves it, have fun with it, and think of the times when you were little and you got scolded for writing on the walls, then giggle and write some more or draw pictures of funny faces. The kitchen looks great, you have so few cupboards so the shelves must be a huge help. Have a great visit and drive safe.
