Getting things done
Kevin and I have been in the mood lately to get things done around our house. For those of you who don't know, we have been fixing up our house since the day we moved in 3 1/2 years ago. All the doors have since been replaced, including the garage door. All flooring has been replaced with the exception of the family room which had new carpet put in right before we moved in. Popcorn ceiling has been scraped, all walls have been repainted at least once, ceilings painted, new light fixtures on almost all lights. We even knocked out a wall to create one big room with our kitchen and family room and Kevin being an amazing do it yourself guy created a beautiful mantle for our fireplace! Needless to say we have been pretty busy since we moved in and are getting anxious to get EVERYTHING done and just enjoy it. So why is it that I keep adding new projects to our list? We recently upgraded our cable package so I now get HGTV and Kevin tells me I have been watching it too much because as of late I have a million new things I want to do. I have recently rearranged many rooms, gone through closets and decluttered, made Kevin help me repaint our bathroom (it is so much better now!) This last weekend we spent the whole day rearranging cupboards in our kitchen. It took forever but I don't know how I lived with it the way it was for so long. Needless to say, even though Kevin tells me I watch too much HGTV I know that he is secretly grateful that I do:) It just feels good to get rid of all our junk and live a little more simple. I will post pictures later, for some reason it's not cooperating right now.

This is making me excited to come see your house on Thursday!
I always want to have things look prettier in our house but never want to put forth the effort to actually do anything. :-P Kudos to you and Kevin for actually doing it!
I love decluttering. I'm horrible at letting it go too long and then it just drives me crazy!
You guys have done SUCH a good job on your house. We've lived in ours almost the same amount of time and I always feel like it's never ending. But as frustrating as it is to me having a long list it's kind of nice sometimes taking our time so we can make sure we know what we want be the time we get to fixing something. Anyway, I can't wait to see your pictures!
I bet your having so much fun redecorating everything. I long for the day until I can put my house together and have so much fun doing it. I will probably need some of your ideas so make sure you post what you have been doing, and some of your ambition:)!!
Good for you. I would love to do that to my house...someday...
Your house looks amazing. I love it.
I know exactly what your home must be like, Jake and I have been doing the same thing! Right now we are in the middle of finishing the basement and it feels like we bit off a little more than we can chew at times, but I can't wait 'til it is done! I'm with you though, I can't wait for it all to get finished so that we can just sit and enjoy it, but with my luck when that time comes we will have completely grown out of this house and have to start over on a new on :) Make sure that you post all of your ideas, I really could use some decorating ideas!
