house update!

well, we have been working on the house for 2 months now. the carpet is gone (except for in the master - there isn't hardwood underneath, unfortunately) and every wall of the house has been painted, except for the kitchen - we're holding off for a little while before tackling that one!
bo and his dad are currently fixing the closets - they had this wire organizational thing which just didn't work for us. those are gone now and they have patched the walls and are repainting. bo is also painting the boards that will be shelves in the closets.
today, we are driving to jackson to go to miskelly's to hopefully buy a bedroom suit. we are both really excited, which is rare for bo to be excited about shopping - our master bedroom is huge ~ 20 x 15 i believe, which is nice, but is also a challenge to find the right furniture. so hopefully, we'll have a grown-up looking master bedroom soon, instead of the dorm room looking bedroom we have now.

just in case i haven't mentioned it, bo also changed out every electrical outlet and light switch in the house. they were all beige and some had been painted to match the wall colors. he wanted them all to match so we went with white. also he has bought, but not yet installed all new doorknobs for the outside doors, again, so they will all match. AND we're in the process of replacing all of the bathroom fixtures with oil rubbed bronze ones.

i am so proud of my hubby! he works so hard to make our house looks nice, and he understands that sometimes you have to spend a little bit of money in order to do so.

so anyway, just a little update. we are no where near done, but we're making progress!
