Well, It's Been Awhile...

So, I have not made a blog post in a really long time. Life has caught me up! Husband and I are expecting another little girl in June and we have recently bought a new home and all of these things have kept me so busy, mixed in with the fact that I homeschool my two little girls! Summer is almost here tho, phew! Lots of exciting news in the works! We are in the process of fixing up the new house. We have not moved in yet, and it probably won't be for another couple weeks before we begin that process. Trying to move in before the new baby girl arrives! The house we bought is a gem tho, it is over 150 years old, originally built sometime in the 1870s!! We are in the process of redoing some dated bathrooms and redoing an awkard room we are turning into a sunroom with french doors leading to the outside. The house has the original hardwood floors in every room except that one odd room which is laminate we are changing to tile. It really is a farmhouse and beautiful!

Here is a picture of the outside of the house. It's a southern beauty!

So far the bathrooms are halfway done and the downstairs rooms have been painted. Just need to paint the upstairs bedrooms. The house had every room a different color and since I am in love with Joanna Gaines style from Fixer Upper I went with more of a neutral palette for this rustic farmhouse. We painted the living room and kitchen with a gray called Sculptor Clay (by Behr? i believe) and we are going with Simply White by Benjamin Moore for upstairs bathrooms and bedrooms, all except my daughters' room which is currently pink and they don't mind that. Here is a sample I found on Pinterest of 'Simply White'.


 This is our living room, it was the red color you can see on the wall in the next room. I really like the neutral grey!
And this is the kitchen which was green before and the room in the distance will be the sunroom. It only has sub floors right now but will be tiled soon. 


Here is a picture of the front door and porch with the beautiful vining trellis and picturesque red front door.
Hopefully we will be able to get moved and all things ready for baby before she arrives. Lots to do but it is an exciting journey and the Lord has blessed us with it! I am excited for what's ahead and all the space for our growing family. More pictures to come! Thanks for stopping by!
