Making this House our Home Progress Report

We have been in our house for nearly a year and a half now. There is still a long list of things "to-do", as I'm sure there will always be. Here's a quick update on a few of the rooms.


Office/Craft Room

I spend most of the day in this room, so getting it to a state of "completion" would be nice.

The original idea was to do a room based on both mine and hunny's alma maters: Georgia Tech and Kennesaw State. Fortunately, they have the same color schemes: yellow, black and white!

These things are done:

• Walls Painted a soft yellow
  
• Two Desks (craigslist find! Painted the legs black and the tops are a dark stained wood)
• Two black bookcases
• Large fabric covered black framed bulletin board (18" x 18" frame was at HobbyLobby on clearance for like $5)
  

These things are still to do:

• Curtains
• Chairs (so we don't have to keep taking dining room chairs up and down the stairs!)
• Wall Shelves
• Frames for diplomas
• Hang artwork

Pictures will be coming as the progress moves along! In the mean time, here is the design board:



Guest Room

We don't use this room too much, so it's not that high on the priority list, but it still needs some TLC.

These things are done:

• Walls Painted a light tan (just like the rest of the house!)
  
• Black Daybed (Neal's old bed)
  
• Black storage unit
  
• Blue Curtains
• Mirror
• Bedding
  

These things are still to do:

• Lamp
• Artwork
• Accent Pillows
• Built in Bench w/storage
  

Here is the design board:


Master Bedroom

Here is the original design board for the master, and nearly all of it was complete:


But now, we are going to change it up! It's so brown and dark, and we really would rather have a lighter, fresher feel to this room, with a new coat of lighter paint, furniture refinish, wall treatment, etc. A new design board for this room will be coming shortly! So exciting!
