Home Sweet Home!

We've been hard at work, getting our house more cozy to share with Oma, Opa, Aunt Mary Beth and Uncle Casey whenever they come up for Marie's baptism. Here are some of our recent renovations:

Moving the master bedroom to the first floor
Uncovering the built in china cabinet
Removing the kitchen wallpaper (by far this was the least pleasant task)
Painting our kitchen trim and walls
Repainting and decorating our guest room (now "Oma's room" with hopes that Oma and Opa will visit iften) ;-)
Re-organizing our entry way to make space for winter coats

On our list to finish this Spring/Summer:

• Drywall our upstairs bedroom ceilings + basement ceilings + remove drop ceiling in kitchen (we're leaving this one to professionals!)
• Paint our hallway trim
• Finish our brick patio in the backyard 
• Level some space in the backyard and grow grass
• Install built in seats/cabinets in the kitchen

Needless to say, we'll have no trouble keeping busy! We're incredibly grateful for the home we have, and blessed to enjoy living in it every day. It's a joy to see the home grow and change as we do too, and we're certainly learning a lot with each new project!!
