We moved our Nest!

So we are all moved into our new house! Sort of. We still have some boxes to unpack and projects to finish, but we are here! And LOVING IT!! Seriously. I sobbed every time I came to this house while we were fixing it up. Now I can't really remember why. We have been so happy here! I have never been happier! Our home is old and little and not even finished, but it's perfect! I miss the Shumways bad though!! Someday we will build houses next door to eachother with a joining backyard where the kids can play together.
Someday! And I can't wait!
We have been working a little bit on the landscaping which the boys have had fun pulling out all the palm trees and thorny bushes with the old grandpa truck.
I still don't really feel ready to post pictures of the house. There's so many little projects to do and nothing is quite finished. And my furniture {which happens to be mostly preschool furniture} doesn't fit nicely anywhere. But I love all the completed little updates! It makes such a huge difference!
We replaced the old thermostat and all the old ac vents in every room.
Replaced the doorbell.
I was so happy to throw out all the old outlets and light switches!
Dimmer light in the master bedroom is the best idea I have ever had! I love it! :)
Replaced and painted all the closet doors and hardware.
My 2nd favorite update was the carpet and baseboards! Seriously looks like a different house! I barely remember when it looked like the before picture. So gross.
But my favorite update so far has been my black interior doors and glass crystal door knobs!! I told Tyler my idea and we were both kind of nervous of how it would turn out. I thought it might be cheesey, or simply too dark in my narrow hallway. But I seriously love it! I love the feel of the glass knobs and my cute hallway of black doors!!
Hopefully I will have a room finished to show sometime soon! But for now we are just working hard and enjoying more time together as a family this summer!

  1. Glass door knobs? My favorite fixture! They look great on the black doors. Your home looks beautiful - I can't wait to see it.

  4. What a fun house (even from these tiny little peeks)! I love keeping up with your life through your blog. Thanks for updating! And I'm just like you regarding the weather and water...the warmer the better! I thought I was the only one who doesn't swim in the summer here because it's too cold. We can be wimpy together. :) Congrats on the babies! It would be great to get together soon...maybe lunch with Laurie now that school started. :) (Leslie)
