I hung the first items in the house. I hung 4 clocks and painted different cities under the clocks.
The main project was the formal dining. Unfortunately the guys that laid the wood floors got wood glue on the walls. It was frustrating at first because that room was the only room we weren't going to paint. (It was already red.) It ended up working out so well though. I got a red that Tyler and I like much more. I had to sand down the glue and repaint. Mom took a day off of work, came over and helped me paint. (THANK YOU MOM!!!) Now the walls look wonderful!
After the paint I was finally able to unpack the bar and china cabinet.
I also made wreaths for that room out of old sheet music. Mom found the idea on a design blog.
Tyler and I started buying furniture!!! YAY! We bought a big piece for our formal living. I started unpacking more boxes so we have some stuff in there for now. It will probably change, but it is nice to see it with stuff inside!
Mom and dad got us a shelf that fits in to 'the hole' next to the fire place for my birthday. We love it! As mom always says 'paint does wonders.' So the color might change once the couch comes in and the curtains go up. Just like the one above the stuff inside might change. Also in the picture is a chair that Ty and I bought for the den. It is a big chair!
Andreas and Luis came and hung the chandelier in the back staircase. This chandelier we got from Aunt Debbie and Uncle Larry. There are pictures of it in previous posts, but now it is up!! This was a great idea from Tyler. I love the chandelier above the staircase.
Finally, the stools came in. They will go in the den as well.
It was such a productive Spring Break. I am currently working on our formal dining table and a curtain for the upstairs 'yellow' bathroom. More posts soon to come!!
