Our New House

Hello all...I've been a little negligent in my posting. Sorry! Recently our lives have been a complete world-wind of activities. After we returned from the beach, we started painting the inside of our new house. Our assumption was that it wouldn't take longer than a week to paint all the rooms and every piece of trim, molding, built-ins, windows, fireplaces and staircases...man were we wrong!! To update everyone, when we bought our house, all the crown molding, chair rails, windows, doors, baseboards, staircase spools, fireplaces, china cabinet built-ins and trim were painted a Williamsburg blue (which is a very brilliant yet deep blue color) - all of it! We thought, one coat of primer and a coat of paint would do...WRONG! Two coats of primer and at least two coats of white paint later and we still have two rooms left to paint...ugh! We finished all the main level rooms, the master bedroom and the bathroom before we left for Arkansas, so when we return, we have to pick up the dreaded paint brush and finish off the guest bedroom and the nursery. We will prevail!;) Anyone want to help!?

Here is a sneak peek photo of the inside of our new house. We have moved in half our stuff in and we spent our first night in the house before we flew out to visit Andy's family in Arkansas, yeah! This is our new dining room (remember, everything that is white was blue and what is red was sponge painted yellow - I left the before pictures of the rooms on Andy's computer at work -Sorry!!)
I promise that when return, I will take a picture of the front of our house for everyone to see!

Okay, this last picture is for those of you who keep saying they wish they could see how big I'm getting...watch out y'all, I'm only 22 weeks and already popping out;) Here you go...
Enjoy and keep coming back for updates...I promise I'll be lots better once we get Internet at our new house!

Hey Catherine! You are so pretty pregnant! You make it look so easy! Your paint job in the dining room is very nice! Can't wait to see the house! We set up a blog page, too, after seeing yours!
