Making It Home

Not sure how much I’ve mentioned but up until these past couple of weeks we booked… The Venue (Lake Valhalla Club) The Photographer (Stephen Govel… http://www.stephengovel.com/) The makeup artist And most recently, we also booked.. the DJ! (PJ at Unforgettable DJs) and purchased… MY WEDDING GOWN!  Which I can’t show pictures of but it is […]

Down under meaning the basement.  The last couple of months, our lowest level (which contains our gym, garage, and engine of the house) has given us a few problems! First, one bitter cold morning, we woke up to freezing temperatures and ice cold radiators.  For some reason, the furnace was off.  And not willing to […]

It’s been a while since the last post and a lot has been going on! First, we rearranged the office a little.  We realized we did not need all of the different bookcases in there.  They were crowding up the room – and the bookcases did not even have anything on them!  Plus, there were […]

A couple of posts ago I wrote about some of my ideas for a master bedroom.  Dave was not in total agreement!  He likes the green walls.  And apparently, so do my Mom, Jenna and Casey.  So the green is staying for now.   We also moved the armchair that was in living room into […]

We’re coming up on two months in the new house and I think we have been buried in snow since the first week.  I am starting to forget what the yard, deck and neighborhood looks like without the mountains of snow! Although it has made for some very pretty pictures…. It’s been getting kind of […]

The next major furniture we need for the house is a bedroom set.  We currently have a queen-sized Ikea bed that has broken twice now.  Dave, the handy-man he is, has been able to fix it each time with a drill and some screws.  However, it is time to get us some adult furniture now! […]

As I mentioned in my previous post, we decided to move Dave’s big TV upstairs and make the room home theater of sorts.  It’s weird shaped and small, so the word “theater” is being used loosely! As soon as we got back from vacation, Dave started on the project.  As a reminder, here is the […]

No real progress on the house.  However, we (and by we, I mean Dave) have set up the cable wires upstairs!  Dave and I decided that his big television will be going upstairs in the common room area.  We will get an entertainment center and an area rug, and my leather loveseat from Aunt Nancy’s […]

Our gym is nearly set-up!  It is still a little messy since we are waiting for the hole in the wall to be repaired.  But it has been so great to work out in the mornings.  I have a ton of space, a good TV, and the temperature down there is perfect.  Plus, Dave is […]

And we are about 95% unpacked already! The rest of the week after we closed, we did not do much unpacking.  We went to Dave’s condo a few times to pick up things, but for the most part, I worked A LOT.  And Dave worked from home while Paul cleaned out the house.  Look at […]
