We are getting closer... I can feel it!!!
The kitchen is pretty well finished. Keith finished the backsplash and the flooring is completed. Keith finished up the trim, and there are small things that will need to be worked on, but it is getting there. I really love my kitchen. It is so much bigger than our old one... even than how this kitchen used to be. Keith redesigned it so that it has a much more open floorplan and I think that it turned out great. We ordered a new refridgerator and a dishwasher (our first ever). We already had a new stove and microwave from when we bought the house on Coldwater Road, so we went with black appliances so that they all match. I think that it turned out nicely. Keith still has to install the new ceiling fan, but the majority of the work has been completed.
The kitchen (view from the living room) I love the color ;)
The other side of the kitchen/dining room
Faucet and sink (Keith picked out the faucet... I really like it)
Our new fridge
Our first dishwasher... Awwwww...
The backsplash... you can kind of see our what our countertops look like
The light over the dining room table
Keith and his dad were able to get the doorway moved and the partitions for the laundry room and the new bathroom have been built too.
The office is pretty well finished. I try to not spend too much time in there, since I spend my entire day on the computer... but sometimes, I need to spend more time in there than I like too...

The living room is pretty well finished. Keith closed off the chimney so that it isn't so drafty in the living room, and we are looking into getting some ventless gas fireplace logs. For now, we have some candles in it and I think that it adds a really nice and cozy atmosphere to our living room. My dad built us a door to match the mantle that he made us and the molding that was made to go on the fireplace. I think that it turned out really nice. The brick was a mish mosh of colors, so Keith painted it this summer. I think that it turned out AMAZINGLY well. We still need to get the new front door installed, but I know that Keith is waiting for some warmer weather. I still need to get our pictures in the frames that I bought this summer, and get them put up on the walls.
I LOVE THIS LAMP!!! I bought it at Ikea... LOVE IT! ♥
My dad made me this cabinet a few years ago. It is the perfect place to store most of our movie collection

I am really starting to love this new house. It is starting to feel like a home, and now that I have my belongings where I want them, and photos up on the walls... and other randomness to help it feel like it is OURS... it is better. I like being here much more now than I did when we first bought the house. I cannot believe that it has almost been a year already!!!! We are going to be here for a while (Whew!!! 3 moves in six and a half years of marriage.... we have a lot of stuff too!!! )... So, we have plenty of time to make it how we want. I'm super excited!!!
