New House Old Look?

So all our money is correctly designated for upgrades to the house but after 10 years of the same furniture is it possible to change the look you have using he same furniture.

Paint is included in the budget I could rearrange the painting/prints (there are a lot).

I see the house in grays and greens. The kitchen will be stainless steel appliances, butcher block counters and a slate back splash. I am re-purposing the current cabinets and painting the much to my Mother in laws dismay gray. I am hoping to uncover the wood floors. They are there but covered with several layers of linoleum/vinyl. I am still unsure of the wall color but I think it will be light.

The bathroom will be very traditional. It is small so we are replacing all of the fixtures. The shower/bath will be tiled with mostly white subway tiles. I think we will add some green mosaic tiles. Faucets will be a modern take on traditional styles.

Time to Start on the Garden

So now that the house is basically done. I am not sure if a home is ever really complete but for now no major projects inside. I decided to start on the front yard. It is lacking in curb appeal... So I used the broken pieces of concrete chimney/vent to create a tiered flower bed. I guess I am going for an English garden feel. Sticking to purples, whites, reds, and some pinks, for color. I did get a couple of ferns. I also planted Shane's silly fern he rescued from the gutter from our last rental. Pretty...

Still waiting... Still frustrated.

It has been 79 days since our bid was accepted. I know that once this is behind us we will enjoy our new home but right now it is just frustrating. I think we are at the stage we can feel secure that we are getting our loan. But our lender cannot get their act together and continues to need more information causing delay after delay. And HUD is charging $25 a day, despite they had us sign an extension till 9/20. I do not see why this is fair. On vacation to get the house started but we are spending all of our time trying to get the house. I am hoping they give us the keys this week. The Backyard: Boring but has potential The Living room: A good size but all surfaces need refinishing. The Kitchen: Big ugly getting a temporary face lift.

We have our Bedroom!!!

After 5 months we are finally sleeping in our room. There are still a couple of things we need to finish. The crown molding, and the ceiling light are the last things in the room. We need to finish the crown molding in the living room and hall. Then our closet is the next project. It is small. The lighting changed the wall color in this shot. The view from my side of the bed. The actual wall color. Our only themed room... The London Bathroom The large clock is definitely a statement in this tiny bathroom and I love it! Tube map shower curtain and wainscoting. No more towel folding just hang it.
