Part 1: What we've been up to

Since my lovely dslr was neglected during most of the move, the best way to sum up the past three+ months is with instagram photos. Fear not! I will be going into greater detail with diy and before/after posts, but for now here's part 1 of  "what we've been up to" starting at the beginning...

-April 27, 2012 closing day in my new back yard; -our first project of removing carpet in the den

-Wellie and Pip love all the room for running; -we had the hardwood floors refinished on the whole first floor

-sunset at the beach across the street; -moving day (most of those boxes are my shoes!)

-final trip to my parents' cottage before they sold and where we celebrated my 31st b-day

-lots of boat rides to say goodbye to Torch Lake; -quality time spent with my nephew

-one of my new neighbors brought us peonies from her garden; -Pip & Wellie get comfy in the wrong positions

-I painted the bathroom tiles white and added a vintage wine rack; -I painted the fireplace white, too

-switched out Ikea block legs for tapers on our karlstad chair; -making buttons for said chair

-found this gorgeous mid century mirror on craigslist for $30 (plus a peek of my dining room); -first part of button tufting done

-baby's breath; -Pip is Wellie's headrest

Check back tomorrow for part 2!
