progress pics

Finally got my camera up and working!
 We've been in the house for about a month now, so things are starting to get in order. First up are some shots of the living room. This is a long shot of it, and the area around the tree is messy, but it gives you an idea of color/layout. I've been really into grey walls lately, and I love this color!


We had some family over on new years eve, so we kept it simple, I used my bookshelves as a finger food buffet area, fancy!


 This is the other end of the living room. It needed curtains really badly! I have since bought some ikea cheapies till I can decide what I want long-term.



This is the view into the dining room. We went with grey in there too. The table and chairs are from ikea, the chairs are called ivar and came in unfinished pine. I painted them white and added some cushions. The table is melltorp and was super simple to put together, and the perfect size for two!




Our kitchen making some progress. Ignore the box of stuff on the counter waiting to be organized/purged. The color is named spring  bluebell. I really think the cabinets should be white, even though I'm not so sure my husband agrees. I want it to feel more beachy, and the oak just isn't doing it for me. Also we're in desperate need to get the kickplate under the sink installed, it's going to make a huge difference.



We don't have alot of counter space, so for now we are using a bright table for a tea/ coffee center. Those dog prints are actually adhesive wall art, I picked up on sale at hobby lobby (world's best home accessory store imo)!



This shelving unit is also from ikea. It's the lack shelving unit. Our dogs have a ton of treat dispensing, puzzle toys, and I like to keep them all in the kitchen so they are easily accessible. It's like this shelf was made to hold the nina ottoson dog puzzles, they fit perfectly. The top shelf is where I keep my dog cookbooks. (fun fact: I do not own a single human cookbook, but I have at least five dog cookbooks!)
p.s. the pet door is disabled, i'm much to overprotective and worrysome to let the dogs out alone
