The New House

The furniture we ordered arrived last week! The living/dining/kitchen area:

The only thing we did here is add furniture. We like the color on the walls (although it was kind of difficult to pick out furniture to match brown walls!). Some area rugs I ordered arrived today, but they are still a little wrinkled. We also hung 2 mirrors yesterday and ordered a wall mount for the tv. It's coming along!

This picture is looking in from the front door:

And the kitchen. New counter tops are on our list at some point:

Master Bedroom- the only thing we did in here was add the ceiling fan:

Did you notice Elfis in that last picture? Olivia is really into Elf on a Shelf this year! I'm not crazy about the faux finish on the walls, but the color went with our furniture. This room was originally on the list to paint, but after all the other painting we did, we decided to wait.

I forgot to take a picture of the master bath before we painted it, but you can see the color around the electric socket in this picture:

Very bright green. Here are the cabinets before:

They took some time, but I love how they turned out!

Now on to my favorite room to decorate! Olivia's before:

That chandelier was in the master bedroom. When we took it down to put up the fan, I spray painted it white for her room. I also hung it by myself (I'm a little proud! I did have to turn off the power to the entire house, but it's working!). My favorite part of her room:

NOT the cable running along the wall! We are doing whatever it takes for her to sleep in her room at night, so if a tv helps, so be it. The tree was actually really fun to put up, plus you can take it down whenever you want without hurting the paint. She loves it!

This is the 3rd bedroom upstairs, which is currently being used as a playroom:

The paint color in this bathroom is on the chopping block soon:

And that's the first floor! I will post pictures of the basement soon!

Olivia is really into the holidays this year. She loved Thanksgiving (and we did some damage on Black Friday! Best time of the year to buy for your house!) and is really excited for Christmas. Mamaw met us at Dollywood last Friday and lo and behold:

She isn't afraid of Santa this year!
This is a huge whiteboard with lots of markers. Heaven for a 3 year old:

Shooting Star is still her favorite ride:

We watched a show and stayed until the lights came on:

Last weekend, we made ornaments out of applesauce and cinnamon, just like when I was a kid!

We made 25, but only 14 made it to the tree. It took awhile for her to realize how easily they break! She has been picking out her clothes by herself lately:

Nice, right? Hope you're having a good week! Sorry the pictures are smaller, I found out I can upload them without having to resize each one, but the size is predetermined. It saves a TON of time, but I'm working on how to make them bigger again!
