The Oreo cookie room

We call this the Oreo cookie room. I love it!! It turned out great. As you can see, most of the house had previously been a dusty pink and then painted over with a whitish gray. It has been a lot of work getting this house ready, but I am finding that that process is quite enjoyable.

How much do I love to garden?

Saturday we spent the entire day doing yard work. First at the church to beautify the ground there. Then at our own house. We spread two yards of mulch on all the flower beds and filled up two container gardens with two more yards of mushroom mulch. We are excited to plant our vegetable garden tomorrow afternoon!!

This is a view of the front of the house...

Our New Home in Ohio

We have been in Ohio now exactly one month. We are pretty much settled in though we are working on a few small projects here and there. Our main project when we arrived was to repaint... the entire house. The previous occupants had a thing for dusty rose which we didn't. Here are a bunch of before and after pictures
Behold the front entry way!! It's better with the paint as well as a cute Joseph at the top of the stairs!

The before and after of the family room. The kids were super excited to have a fireplace again!
