are y'all ready for this?

OH MY MY!!! I am moving right along now folks! The cable company just installed my new cable modem and I am really liking it. I promised to post some pics of the house for you all so here goes. I tried to pick up close to where I left off when I got dial-up.

This pic is of the master bathroom just after it's first coat of paint. As you can see the door casings had not been painted at that time. The bathroom looks a lot different that than now and I will have to get some new pics of it once I have added all of my personal touches to it.














This pic is of the guest bath right after the first coat of paint. Yes, I have two pink bathrooms however, the pink in this one is more of a reddish, festive color and the one in the masters is more of a country pink. I will get a new pic of this one with the decorative shower curtain I put in there to pull it all together.














This pic is of my office and it is not a very good pic. The walls are a very light blue because I am going to display most of my lighthouse things in there so I wanted a color that would blend a bit with everything I have. I don't have a pic of it yet but I have a cherry stained wood desk, file cabinet and bookshelf that take up most of the room in here.














I am pretty sure I posted this one once before but I couldn't remember so I posted it again. It is just to show my hardwood floors before they had a coat of poly on them. Oh man, just looking at that dust makes me wanna cringe!














This pic is of the kitchen being painted. I was so excited to see what my walls were going to look like with that color. I am replacing the light in the ceiling with a four foot florescent light trimmed in honey stained oak. I don't like regular light in kitchens because I can see so much better with the florescent.














This pic is of the master bedroom right after the carpet was installed.














This was taken right after the tile was installed in the guest bath, as you can see they had not grouted it yet. It is very pretty now that it is completed.














This pic is of the kitchen right after the tile was installed and before it was grouted. Once it was grouted Mr. B and my dad made a small boo-boo and we had to tear up 63 of those beautiful ceramic babies and replace them. We haven't had time to grout the new 63 tiles in place but it shall be done this week.














Wanna know what excites me? Just take a look at the appliance below and you will know. My new dishwasher! I L-O-V-E it! It isn't like most dishwashers either, the sides aren't squared, they are contoured and so is my fridge.














Okay now I will show you the bedrooms, right this way please.....

This is my sons room. We went with a sports theme in there because we are tired of doing the Disney character themes, that is too expensive. He loves his room and believe it or not, he keeps his room cleaner than the girls do. As soon as he gets up in the morning he makes his bed and makes sure his room is always picked up. Normally he opens his blinds before he leaves for school but I couldn't get a good pic with the sun shining through so I had to close them.














This isn't a very good pic but this room belongs to my middle child, Bethany. I have always said that she was born in the wrong time zone because she is a hippy if I have ever saw one..heehee. She actually decorated this room all by her self starting with the paint color. Her first choice of colors didn't fly so she had to opt for another. Her first choice was two hot pink walls and two solid black walls (scares me to think about it). To be honest all of my kids got to pick their wall color and the bedding they wanted. She is very happy with her room and she does pretty good about keeping it clean, sometimes I have to get on her for not putting away her clean clothes that I put on her bed.














This is where Mr. B and I dwell at night. We still haven't found a bedroom set that we like yet but we are still looking and looking hard. This comforter is where I got the idea for the colors. This pic doesn't even begin to do our room justice. That room is huge and I am still trying to get use to how big it is. I do love it though! As soon as we buy and get the furniture in there I will post pics of that.














As far as bedrooms go, last but not least is my eldest daughters room. She chose everything for her room as well, even the furniture. I wasn't so sure about the dark, dark wood but with the pale yellow on the walls and the pink comforter it really looks good in there. In a day or two I will get better pics of these rooms to show you. These were taken quickly the day after we moved in. She does okay keeping her room clean but every now and again (at least three days a week..heehee) I have to say something about the clothes in the floor near the dresser and in the closet. As soon as I say something they are put in there rightful place.














This is the almost finished product of my kitchen. Everything is in the cabinets, my stove and fridge just got delivered when this was taken. Ignore the black microwave because it isn't going to be a permanent resident in the kitchen but I am keeping now while I decide if I want a microwave to go over the stove or if I want to buy one to put on a hutch in the corner, decisions, decisions. LOL I didn't realize that I had got our big pack of bottled waters when I took this pic. As you can tell the waters were just put on the counter for someone else (me) to put in the fridge.














Here is my new living room furniture. It tooks more tan than anything but actually those parts that look tan are a green. There are three different shades of green in the stripes and each one is trimmed out in a small red line. I will get a close up of the upholstery to show you what I am talking about.














Aside from the dishwasher, this is the other highlight of my life...LOL...I am just kidding! This is Mr. B. I was trying to get a pic of the new recliner but he was enjoying the heated massage you get in the chair and he wouldn't move so you are getting a two for one here..lol. You can see the rug in the floor in the living room, that is where we eat for now because Mr. B has had no time to get our dinning room table built. He does have the material to do it so it should be soon. This pic shows my finished floors and look, no dust!














Once we get the tile grouted, the table made and a couple of other things I will post some more pics. Right now we don't have time to do anything in the house except shower and eat. I am actually supposed to be out running errands right now but since I have this new cable modem plus my new 19" LCD flat panel monitor that Mr. B bought for me as an early birthday present so I couldn't resist playing a bit. I do think I am going to slip off and treat myself to a spa pedicure in just a few minutes. Nothing wrong with giving yourself an early present is there? Plus that will make my feet look all pretty when my birthday rolls around on Sunday!

I hope y'all have enjoyed the pics and I hope you have a good day!
