We moved in on November 8th, and surpisngly got everything unpacked, and boxes removed. However, we still have all of our pictures to hang and some items to purchase etc. I received some very sad news on Friday, November 8th the day we moved into our new home. I received a phone call that my grandmother, had suddenly passed away. The ironic thing was 3 years ago when we moved from the M streets to Frisco, my grandfather passed away. I suppose my grandparents want me to stay in one spot :)!. I loved my grandmother dearly, and I'm sad she never got to meet Bear in person. However, I'm very excited she is up in heaven with my grandfather and watching out for us every minute of the day. I was sad that my mom's sisters and cousins had to meet Bear under bad circumstances but knew my grandparents were smiling down as all of their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren got to spend some quality time together.
Now, onto the house! So we are loving our new home. Greg has already repainted our dining room, as it was a crazy bright orange. The prior owners used the dining room as their play room, which I did not want to do. We painted the dining room in the Benjamin Moore color Revere Pewter. It's a very light grey, and I love how it compliments our dark brown table.
The one hard part about this home is the very open family room. The prior owners left a nice cushy rug thing. I don't know how to describe it, but the first floor of the home is composed of wood floors and stained concrete. They purchased the cushy rug thing for the family room as they had a little boy, and it was easy for him to walk and crawl on it. They left the cushy rug thing for us, and although it's not the most decorative accent, it is very useful for Bear, so I'm leaving it :)! We have talked about condensing the squares, so it's just on one side of the room. I'm going to try and decorate the space in two rooms. You can see from the pics below we have the couch and tv on one side and then a little sitting nook and the wet bar on the other side. We have just purchased a new coffee table from RH which will hopefully be here in time for the holidays. We need a nice little coffee table to go between the two chairs. Here are a few pics:
So like I said it's a large space, so just trying to section it off into two different rooms. Greg and I purchased these chairs a few years ago, and never really had a place for them, so I'm happy to finally put them in our family room. Although, my mom was just over here yesterday and stated that they should go into our master bedroom :)! I feel like I need a decorator to come over and just tell me what room to put our furniture in. Our next room to feature will be our master bedroom. Bear's room is a work in progress as we purchased furniture for a different room, and now it doesn't all fit, EEK! His room also has wall accents of bright orange that needs to be painted :)!
On another note, our little man started crawling at 7months, so we are on bear patrol 24/7 :)!. He just turned 8 months on Friday, it's crazy how fast time flies! We have started planning the big 1st bday, as we know it will be March before we know it.
I love this time as year, as the weather changes and we get to spend time with our family and friends and have time to reflect of all that we should be thankful for. I am so thankful for these two :)!
I have been slacking on my blogging, but promise to blog at least once a week from here on out.
Cheers!
