After a few months of waiting, we finally closed on the house on January 30th. That being said, I have to admit that.... I HATE PACKING. At the end of packing, we were just throwing crap into boxes. After all that hard work, we officially moved in this weekend. We hired my cousin's moving company to help move us. They were awesome. Phil's Moving Company, LLC. Highly recommend.
I absolutely love the house, but boy does it need some paint and our own personal touches. The painting will start next weekend... We will be doing the living room in these two colors:
I love this color. A greyish brownish. This is going to be the main color. We are going to be doing this color as an accent color:
Right now, the colors are mustard and blue.... that is going to have to change. These pictures are with the previous owner's belongings..
The blue accent walls will be the darker Adaptive Shade.
For the kitchen and dining area, we will be doing a true gray..
Our plans are to chalk paint the cabinets white and putting a dark butcher block countertop in.
That will be this summer.. We will also be taking out that brass ceiling fan... replacing it with a fixture that matches the dining.
This is my inspiration:
So far we have replaced the light fixture in the dining room. Out with the country tiffany!

Also on our painting list is the bedroom. When we moved in, there was a free willy wallpaper. Needless to say, it was not our style. Thankfully, it was easy to remove with just hot water, a sponge and a wall paper scraper. We will be doing this color in the master:
Here are the before picture with the previous owner's belongings. :)
We have a ton of work ahead of us, but I am very, very excited for this year :)
