Our House

So...we bought our first house in September and..... we've been busy ever since :)
The entire house was filled with old blue carpet and everything was painted blue. We both like the color blue, but this was overkill. In fact, because there was so much blue, we decided to not do any updates in blue.

We installed new carpet and painted the entire house. Picking colors was more challenging than we thought and we ended up with a slightly purple room (not shown here) that we did not expect, but we have made it work. On the flip side, we love the way our kitchen turned out!

This is definitely not all inclusive, and we've made some additional improvements since these pictures were taken, but at least this will give you an idea of what a few rooms look like and what we've done to make them our own. We promise to post more/better pictures later.
