Hey everyone! WE are here and finally have internet and the connection cable for my camera. The house is still a disaster, but here it is. It's amazing what a week and a lot of hard work can do. The house is ours now and looks nothing like the mess it was a few weeks ago! We have new roof, new AC upstairs, new carpeting everywhere and got it professionally cleaned (it took them 8 hours!). We all start school tomorrow so school photos will follow. My camera battery was almost dead so the photos aren't the greatest...you will have to come see for yourselves!
I love love love our bedroom...the blue walls are gorgeous with our furniture. I painted the old dressers black and they look amazing. And my zebra chairs are awesome. Our master bath is huge...my area is like a hair salon. Our closet is also huge.
The girls' room is coming along. But as you can see it still is a mess. Marcus' room is also not finished, but pretty much the same as the old house.
The girls and guests get to share the princess bath...a real treat! The guest room is now officially called the "Texas Friendship Room." It is lovely, and has only one rule...each guest much add one small thing to the room to represent themselves and our friendship...so far Smithwick, Bonheim and my mom have all contributed.
I cooked my first meal in the kitchen tonight...it is so big and fabulous...the pantry is amazing. WE are getting some new appliances from uncle tony. Notice the knife and fork on the wall...a fun find at hobby lobby...There was a spoon but the hanger broke today and it just crashed to the tile and smashed into a million pieces...I am hoping they will replace it.
The living room is pretty much complete...our new sectional leather sofa is amazing...and roomy as you can see. Any suggestions for above the tv? WE just have a few finishing touches left plus curtains.
The upstairs is a mess...but has lots of potential. The dining room is completely empty...we are taking donations for new furniture! For now it has a rug and china in boxes. Sad. We did paint the front door barn door red and love it.
One of my favorite spots is the laundry room. IT's so big and now we have hooks, a bench and a calendar for backpacks, purses, shoes etc. Love it.
so here are some photos. ENjoy...and feel free to give design tips...we need some!
Thanks to mom and dad, Barbara and Mark, Grandma Legan and Harrison, and Sharla for all of their help...we truly appreciate it and invite you all to come back and enjoy it this time!

Katon, Goukakyu no jutsu.
Wow, you did a LOT in 2 days (since we left). When I looked at the pictures I thought you bought a new dresser for your room. Glad to see the reading corner in the girl's room and the cross picture in the living room looks really good. And love the "Martha" red door. Too bad about the spoon--hope you can get another one. And the saying above is just the right touch. MOM
Bren - I love it and I'm sure you do to. It's just beautiful and I can't wait to come visit you guys next summer. good luck with school tomorrow, give hugs to the fam. Miss you tons girl! Kiers
love the photos! i'd like to see one of your bathroom and it's hugeness. :)
That looks so much different from the "before" pix. It really looks nice, and so spacious. However, I can't come to visit until I can figure out what i can leave for the Texas friendship room. Good luck to everyone starting new schools!
It looks awesome. It's so fun to see actual photos after I've heard you describe it all in detail. I can't wait to come see it.
And...I'm dying to know what everyone left in your guest room. I think that is definitely a topic for a future blog post. I have until December to think about what I can leave!!
