Catch Up

I do know that I am officially the worst blogger ever right now, but that is what happens when you spend all of your extra time working on fixing up a house in another town. I did happen to snap a lot of phone pics of what you are all really interested in seeing anyway. We still have A TON OF WORK TO DO, but we are making progress.
First things first....THE VIEW! I didn't photoshop this photo or anything! My favorite part of the house HANDS DOWN...even after we have things just how I want them, I'm pretty sure this will always win.

Ceiling De-Popcorned, Can Lights Put In, Ceiling Primed, Ceiling Mudded, Bead Board Up

View down the hall

Looking back towards the kitchen...Yes we still have the fridge in the living room

Painted Celing (I still wish you could tell it's a faint blue rather than white), Bead board Topper On, Walls Painted

Crown Going Up...boys will want me to mention this is not the finished look of the crown!

Boys Working Hard 

Furniture going in...Fan looks a little dark to me at this point. What do you think? I think I'll hold of on any decisions until I get the Navy Drapes Up. I'm going to put together my own red curtain rods too. Excited about getting rid of the awful blinds!

The TV is Pushed Back into the Wall so you can't see the sides and will have crown around to look like a picture, but we can pull it out and swivel to the deck if needed. The bar facelift is coming later!

I'm all about FREE STUFF and Ben got this barely used love seat for free, along with Luke's old college coffee table (I think a facelift for that will be coming later also)
Next Steps: Get up Drapes, Chair Delivering, Purchase Side Tables, Accessories, and  Start Kitchen Demo and Remodel (YIKES)
