living room completion

Bo and I logged a few hours last night at our townhouse...and we got the living room all finished up, trim and all! Here are a few pics...

Bo working hard :)

Admiring his work...

Any suggestions for window treatments? I really love some simple Pottery Barn panels in white...with a bold dark wood curtain rod.

Progress!

Slowly but surely, we are making progress on our house! My Aunt Cathy has decided to give us the best wedding gift EVER and help clean and paint our home...she just started on Monday (without running water!) and already has made our house look more like our home :).

If you'll recall, our previously taupe and sky blue kitchen...

And now, our new and improved kitchen walls!

The lighting isn't great...but TRUST me...it's a phenomenal improvement. Our living room will be painted this color as well..."Big Boy" blue by Valspar. Or maybe it's "Blue Boy". I can't remember.

Also, no more ugly wallpaper in our half-bath downstairs...

This bathroom is going to be a very light tan...I'm thinking about adding some very subtle horizontal stripes!


We will be painting tomorrow and Friday, so many more updates to come!



In wedding-related news, we had a "couples bar-b-cue shower" on Saturday. It was a lot of fun spending time with our family and friends, eating some delicious Kelly's bar-b-que, drinking from our homemade redneck wine glasses, listening to some country music, and watching the Tigers beat the Terps :).

Waiting to open our gifts...my MO is ready to go!

Kissing pigs

I can't believe we are getting married in only 51 days! This year has just flown by. More updates to come! Hope you'll be able to enjoy some of this beautiful weather over the next few days :).

Sold!

We are homeowners!!!

Our first piece of decor in our new home :)

Bo signed all the papers last Tuesday; immediately following, we had a celebratory Zaxby's meal and Lowe's visit. As soon as we have a few hours of free time, we are going to have the place deep cleaned, and then put some new color on the walls!

Also, in other very important news, how bout our Tigers!!??

FSU game

My Dad's purple chucks...responsible for our winning streak? Lets just say he won't be taking them off on any upcoming Saturdays.

We are so proud of the Tigers and Dabo. In Dabo's post-game interview after VT domination, he told everyone back in Clemson that they better come out at the West Endzone to celebrate with himself and the team. And boy did they listen.

We ain't done yet!!
