Home Improvements...

Since we've been back in the States, we've focused alot of our attention on updating and redecorating our house...  We started with the bathroom, then got new furniture for the bedroom, gave our basement a slight "facelift", turned one spare room into an office, and turned the other spare room into a dining room... Whew!  Needless to say, it's been alot of work (and we're still far from being entirely finished with them!),  but our house is starting to look and feel more like ours now.  It definitely feels more like a home, which makes us both very happy! :)

And, since we've managed to get so much done on the house in the past couple of months, we're giving ourselves a short break (albeit, we'll still be finishing up the smaller touches like sanding down and restaining doors, hanging pictures, putting up blinds, etc...) before we start our next big project... The kitchen.  For those of you that know what our kitchen currently looks like, you understand the enormity of this project...  Aiyiyi!! :)  But, until then, we're going to take some time to enjoy our house in its current state. :)

So, without further ado, here's a little sneak peak at what our house currently looks like...  We hope you enjoy it! :)  (Keep in mind, the pictures were taken before we got our shipment from Germany, so the rooms now have more decor and a bit more personality in them. :))

Our new office... Yay! :)

Our bedroom...
We finally have bedroom furniture... Yippee! :)

The basement...
It's looking much more cozy than it did before. :)

The dining room...
Yep, that's our new dining room table... Isn't it so pretty?! :)
 I absolutely love it!! :)
