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.
