Yay for Home Decor!

Posted by Carla | About Me,Projects,house | Thursday 1 April 2010 9:47 pm
I have this large plan shelf that goes up the whole length of my stairs and I’ve been trying to find just the right things to put on it. I’m slowly, but surely discovering things that compliment my tastes and are attractive to the eye. My latest is this large candle lantern I bought and put [...]

The Finished Product : Sean’s Room

Posted by Carla | About Me,Daily Life,Sean,house | Saturday 29 August 2009 2:14 pm
Last weekend, I spent 3 solid days painting Sean’s room. In the beginning, I decided to go with blue and green stripes. I even got as far as to tape off and paint all the green stripes, but once I was finished, Chris and I didn’t like the green paint. We thought it looked like [...]

House Building : The Finished Product

Posted by Carla | About Me,house | Saturday 27 June 2009 12:36 pm
We’ve been living in our beautiful new home for about 2 weeks now and we absolutely love it! It was a very stressful process, very time consuming and hair pulling, but it was well worth the time, stress and investment. Our house ended up being appraised at $20k more than we actually paid for it, which, [...]

Blog from my BlackBerry #1

Posted by Carla | house | Saturday 13 June 2009 12:54 am
This marks my first ever blog entry from my phone. I much prefer a full size keyboard because by now I could have typed out 5 paragraphs! We have officially closed on our house and are now the proud owners of a beautiful, newly built home! It was actually appraised for $20k more than what we [...]

This Could Be My Last Blog Post For 2 Weeks

Posted by Carla | Daily Life,house | Wednesday 3 June 2009 12:51 pm
I know! The insanity, right? Good thing I have my BlackBerry to counteract the withdrawal symptoms that I’ll be experiencing. I could blog from my Bold but it will be a little more time consuming and frustrating so we will see if I get to that point of addiction. By now, you’re probably wondering why I [...]

House Building : Step 8

Posted by Carla | house | Wednesday 20 May 2009 3:20 pm
Such a big difference since the last time I blogged about our house, huh? As you can see, the siding is complete, we have a little landscaping, sod, poured concrete (steps and sidewalk) and the pillars are up. The front door just needs to be painted to match the shudders, add the final door hardware [...]

House Building : Step 7

And… we have siding! Nothing spectacular, but it is something new and worthy of an update. I can’t wait to see what it will look like with the shutters and door painted. They’re going to be a color called “tuxedo gray”. Quite formal. Here are a couple more pictures.

House Building : Step 6

Posted by Carla | house | Monday 27 April 2009 9:34 pm
Behold! The first set of photos of the inside of our house with it actually looking like a house rather than a skeleton. Look! Drywall! These pictures were taken on April 25, 2009 but I have been unable to blog about it due to website/server issues. Pretty lame if you ask me. So, maybe now you [...]

Neighbor TMI & House Update

Posted by Carla | About Me,Daily Life,Facebook,Twitter,house | Thursday 23 April 2009 8:14 pm
In the year that my husband, son and I have lived in this apartment complex, we have never had neighbors as noisey as the one(s) that recently moved in. There have been numerous occasions where I have had to literally talk myself out of walking my happy rear up the steps and to their door [...]

House Building : Step 5

Posted by Carla | house | Wednesday 8 April 2009 7:52 pm
This will be a quick update since there isn’t a lot of interesting stuff to look at right now. As you can see, we have windows and they’re prepping the roof to add the shingles. Around the back, they have our backdoor and garage door. We briefly walked around inside to see that pieces for [...]
