5 hundred 25 thousand 600 minutes...

WOHA! OK, we've been in our little Salt Lake home for a year now!! Time has just flown by and it's been awesome! We've really loved this area and being close to Justin's parents and grand patents and our neighbors are just the best neighbors in the world!

Anyway, we've still got a long way to go on our little 'sugar' house...making it our own, etc. etc. But we thought it would be fun to show little changes that we have made, that we haven't blogged about yet... you know a little 'before and after' goodness!

Hope you enjoy the ride... (time warp, more like it... ha!)

FRONT ROOM: Before, I hate to say it, but this white carpet didn't even last one week! Between our kids and the cat... it was doomed the minute we walked in...

Refinished hard wood floors... Oooo!

New Paint... Ahhhh! I love watching a man work! (but we are a good team... i do around the corners and edges... J does the walls!) Mmmm. like bread and butter!

...and new painted trim! Panda's work at it's finest!
New windows and new (to us, Thanks to Nana and Papa Williams!!) couch and chairs!! LOVE THEM! The table is from Justin's parents!
Don't mind the blue tape, actually i don't even notice it any more... It's like part of the house! (this picture was taken about a month ago... and now I've got the first coat of window trim done... and I'll finish that on up this coming week. I hope!)

Were also going to get plantation shutters put in (eventually...) and we'll get a nice rug, frame the mirror, quarter round on baseboards, and a few pictures up on the walls... I'd love a piano in this room too... (not sure where I'd put it... or how to play it...) but guess I'll just have to hope, pray and wait till one drops from the sky... or just shows up on my door step. :)

New front window and chairs... Sorry, this is so dark... but you get what you pay for, "What reading my blog is free???... Oh, yeah... there you go!"

"Excellent!"

"Ex-cell-ent!"

"Wait... did you just say Excellent because i said Excellent?"

"Uhh... (thinking)...No!"

(bragging rights... if you can name that movie!!!)

ANYWAY...

THE KITCHEN: Before: decked out in blue,yellow and white pansies!

After:
We still have the back room to show... but the fire place is having another 'bad hair day' so we'll catch that another time... However... here's the latest addition to the family... :)

Love it! Happy Anniversary to us... Whoopee 1 year!
