Painting the town

So we've been here for a few weeks and have gotten most of the things put away but we were ready to put our stamp on it and add some color.
Most of the colors in our house are neutral colors which is awesome expect I've lived with them in apartments/duplex for 4.5 years so I am so ready for COLOR!
I feel in love with Dutch Boy Infidelity Pool, ya guessed it Turquoise! And I went straight for the front door.

Do ya see it? It blends in with all of the walls...not very exciting.
But now....

BAM! Now you can find it!

Here is a what the front of the house looked like before with the door white.


And now blue! LOVE IT!
I'll be back later to show you what else got Infidelity Pool Paint!
Lets just say my house is looking very cheerful & bright!

Home Sweet Home

We bought our first house!!!! Its perfect for us and I absolutely LOVE IT! It's in a small little town between both of our works, closer for me though! Its 2 stories with a full basement and a sunporch!! We started seriously looking in July went to a few open houses got a realtor who was extremely helpful (let me know if you need one!) and listened to what we were wanting. He was patience with us which was great because we had no idea if we would find what we wanted in the price we wanted. I think we looked at close to 10 houses before we came and checked out this house. We really liked it threw in a couple of offers and in about 3 hours it was ours!!

We just moved in this past weekend thanks to the help of our family coming down to help unpack clean and setup a few things the house is coming together! So this is how things are looking after the first few days!
The Front Of the House
When you walk the in door this is what you see..
Office there is a 1/2 bath over in the corner too. This room is far from being complete, but we have a lot of plans for it!
Looking from the stairs to the front door.
Kitchen in the back, the maroon will be changing to a brighter color :)
Here is our full basement! It also has our laundry room another bedroom and a bathroom!
So there is a small tour of our first house! We have lots of ideas and projects so we'll be sure to keep you posted!
