So I thought I would be a lot better about posting on this blog than I actually am. Below you will find a schmoregassborg of pictures. The house is coming along although I never would have guessed that it would have taken us a year and half to paint the two rooms we spend the majority of our time in (kitchen and family room).

It snowed here! James and I really enjoyed watching the snow fall. And apparently James enjoyed eating the snow as it fell from the sky!

These are the drawer organizers that Aunt Mary got us for Christmas. This was right up James' alley!

This is when we started painting the kitchen and family room. The first thing we had to do was to paint the ceiling. James used the paint sprayer to do this - it made SUCH a huge mess. But in the end, it was worth it. Now the ceiling is all one color!

Everything was piled into the living room.

Just about 12 hours later, we were up and ready to paint the walls.

We bought the chair rail you see below at the same time we bought the paint, but we waited about two weeks before we put the chair rail up. I love the chair rail! I also really love the green that we ended up choosing. We went to Lowe's thinking we would buy a taupe or gold of some sort and came out with green!! It makes the fireplace stand out nicely.

Long time no update.

We're baaaack! And we're here to post pictures from the past & present.
Let's get started.

Here is our dining room after we painted it red. It's not black. I promise.
Here is one of James' many projects. He installed an outlet so that we could put our wine fridge here! It's so cool!
This is where we slept our first week at the house. It was lovely!
This is where we sat, ate, rested for the first week in the house.

Here is Sydeny being a great guard dog. She is really scary. ;)



Here is the breakfast nook before window treatments.

During.

And after.

The first post from the Pink Palace

Wow! Well, here you are. Now you will know everything that is going on at the Pink Palace (aka Kerry Creek).

Currently we are watching Dennis Miller be Politically Incorrect. We've had a long night. Let's begin:

The toilet began to act up last night. What is it with these toilet problems?! They seem to follow us around.

We (James) went to Home Depot (our second home) and bought the toilet rogue or something like that. He took the toilet of and shoved that bad boy down the nasty hole. Nothing came out. He replaced the gross seal on the floor and started to move the toilet back and there he realized the problem. You know it!! Digustingness! He cleaned all the disgustingness out and WAH-LA! Toilet is back to working order.

It wasn't quite that simple, but you get the jist. It's been quite a night. Tomorrow James has to go to school with me for the Fall Festival. I have signed up for an hour of fun at the Bouncy! Yay.

I will be posting pictures soon.
