New House Pics!

So I finally got around to taking pictures of our new house and posting on the family website. There were 76 of them, so I won't post them all here, but I will share with you the two projects we (Jim) finished recently which are the girls' rooms!

The entire house pretty much needs painted to get rid of the disgusting eggshell the previous owners thought would be a good idea to paint it before selling, so we focused on the girls' rooms first. Ava got pink because it's her absolute favorite color. Baby Vaca got yellow so that if we adopt a boy down the road we don't have to repaint it :)

I love both of their rooms. Jim did an awesome job on both of their accent walls. I think he even impressed himself with his handywork. Ava got beadboard with a nice sturdy shelf at the top which I have yet to fill/decorate with everything I want. Her entire bedroom suite was found on Craig's List. Only the tall lamp and shade were bought new. Gotta love a savvy mom!

The baby's room has a really cool paneled-look accent wall that Jim did too. Our good friends the Moores did this in their baby's room and we basically copied it. Josh helped us a lot with the do's/don'ts of the project and made a few trips over to the house to provide advice as Jim navigated the puzzle. It turned out really well I must say! We reused all of Ava's baby furniture, and my splurge was the new pink dresser you see to the left of the window. I got it for like 65% off catalog price, so that was great too. All of her bedding I found on Craig's List. Can you tell I'm an addict?

Next projects will include painting the girls' bathroom, the guest bedroom, and the family room and kitchen downstairs. Maternity leave will be fun!
