Casa Nueva!!

Before: Kitchen


Before: Living Room


During: the move...It was chaotic and a bit stressful. We'll learn next time to not run out of boxes and to be cleaned up before helpers come...Praise God for the helpers!!


Our stuff...we lived in a little one-bedroom apartment, how did one truck hold all that?


Our House!! (take note of the crazy yard...there is maybe a total of one square foot of grass total...the rest is weeds!


Me 'cutting' the wall...that was tough and I'm too much of a perfectionist. Its still not perfect!

After: the lovely 'world travelers' living room. The TV stand is not permanent. We're saving for one that matches the shelves.


After: our lovely green kitchen (La Fonda Jalapeno is the correct color!). We love our fridge and appliances and I loooove to cook in there!
We're also saving for a new dining table and chairs...that little on is temporary.

After: kitchenette...with a lovely new table (Thanks to the previous owner)...I'm working on shelves for the wall...with pitchers and mugs!


Yeah, so thats it for now. We're finishing painting the downstairs tonight and we'll see if we even consider upstairs! Thanks to all who sent notes and gifts! We love our house and cannot wait for visitors!

Wow what a difference. Love the colors. Been looking daily for pictures. Our first TV stand was made from 2 piles of bricks, with board across,for TV books etc. Grandpa's idea and we had it a long time. Looks great you two. And you are still speaking????

Todd said he loved your fridge...maybe he'll get me one now! All your paint colors are so nice. I can't pick out paint colors well at all! Can't wait to see it!
