Ramblings of a Marine Wife: We finally closed on the house!!!!!

Andrew and I finally closed on our home and quickly set to work making it feel like a home instead of just the house of doom. I planted a garden on the side of the house. Hydrangea and two bushes transplanted from the 15 the builder felt necessary to plant in front of my house. I also transplanted 3 other bushes behind the garage and in the little garden I pulled those 5 bushes from I planted a rose bush and two mini hibiscus plants. All of which are currently flowering and gorgeous. I was worried about them dying since I've planted them so late, but the lady at the nursery assured me I just needed water them religiously until they take root and they should be fine!!! We also extended the tiny back patio that the builder gave us with pavers and got a cute little outdoor table and chairs for the area. Our last home improvement project in our little home improvement marathon was to paint our bedroom. I LOVE the colors and the way we painted. Now I'm just trying to decide how to paint the front bedroom and spare bathroom. We decided to leave the kitchen/living room area the color it is since it's SO open and the we have really high ceilings and ladder (yet). Andrew is in charge of his man cave, but secretly I'm thinking chair rail with two tone wall. Maybe in some blues or greens since it is a man cave after all. The spare bathroom has a nice purple them going thanks to my wonderful mommy who bought us the set I wanted, but I'm not sure I want purple walls too. It may just be over kill. I know that I want to paint it though even if the color is similar to whats there because the type of paint in the bathroom is really flat and nothing wipes off the walls and the tiniest little splash of water discolors it. Well enjoy the house pictures! See if you can spot the animals I know that Tango and Munch are in there. I'm not sure if I caught Sue.

Our Home!
