Cleaning!

Oh man! I'm exhausted from this past weekend. I spent Thursday, Saturday and Sunday cleaning and painting the new house! Thursday we spent the evening cleaning the living room and dining room, washing the walls, floorboards, outlets, etc. We also got our sectional and living room table set delivered! It looks so much better than we had even hoped for! Here's a couple pictures of the couch and tables I took with my phone: 

 

Saturday my soon-to-be in-laws, Cory and I spent the entire day cleaning and fixing the house. His dad fixed up the garage, closet and front screen door as well as removing the nasty old stove and vent. His mom and I spent our whole day in the kitchen, cleaning, scrubbing, and grossing out. It was seriously gross the mess the old owners left behind. I mean, we pulled out the stove and there was a cookie sheet under it!!! A cookie sheet! Along with a variety of coloring sheets, stickers, and really gross gunky stuff. It was pretty bad. We couldn't even finish the entire kitchen in the 6 hours we spent there. Yesterday I got to paint our pantry :) It's a nice crisp white (luckily the old owners left us all their unused paint in the garage ;))\

It's coming along great and I can't wait to see how the house looks completely furnished. We still have a lot to do and a lot of things to buy, but it's already starting to look a little more like home :) The thing I'm most excited for is decorating for fall and the holidays!!!! I'll be making a few things to add to the decor, so I'll be sure to post photos of our decorations and tutorials for things I make 

Hopefully it won't bee too long before I get to update you guys again!
