Family, Painting, and CHAOS!!!

After a week chock full of projects, job searching, and late nights we finally thought we could start to slow down, BUT...

My family is in town for the week, so we have 6 people crammed into this condo (that felt gigantic until they showed up!). We spent Saturday cleaning the place up so it was perfect for the first impression. Then they came in and we made a complete disaster of the place! We have an air mattress and pallet bed on the floors in the living and dining rooms, tools and tool boxes everywhere, and missing outlet covers.

My mom just finished painting our kitchen Wythe Blue and it is a MAJOR improvement! We put new brushed nickel knobs on the other day, pulled off the railing from the top of the cabinets, and touched up the trim. All the updates makes it feel like a new room and a much bigger room.

Last week we bought and painted an antique desk black and painted the drawer pulls silver. We recovered the chair that came with the desk and painted the chair black as well. The desk will go in front of the kitchen windows for Kolby to use her laptop and write letters.

Today my brother and I went and bought a TV Armoire that is HUGE!!! It took up every inch of space in my mom's Trailblazer. We got it up the stairs and in, but I think we've decided it doesn't really fit what we need. We may Craig's List it back and maybe make a few bucks.

Needless to say, we've been busy! Pictures are coming soon, I promise!

We went to Fellowship Louisville again this morning and really enjoyed it. We've met several couples and love it so far. We've talked about looking around at other churches, but we may settle in and call this home.
