We (for the most part) finished our house! WHOO HOO!!! Before I moved in, Eric tore up his upstairs and then he reframed it, and re did the electric work, then we hung insulation (which sucked), then we sheet rocked (which sucked), then we mudded and sanded (which TOTALLY SUCKED!), then we sprayed texture (ok, the bishop came and sprayed), then the fun part came in.......PAINT! Being the only girl, Mackenzie gets her own room and we painted it pink and brown. Coleman and Blake get to share a room and we had a VERY HARD time deciding what colors to paint their room so we finally decided on John Deere, so they get green and yellow! Then Grant also gets his own room and he really wanted John Deere as well. So we took a big gulp and bought the paint!!! Then we FINALLY decided on the carpet we wanted and with a little brush of paint here and there ie: THE WHOLE HOUSE, and getting the new carpet laid, here is our house!! Now keep in mind that these pictures were taken before any of the decorating was done (I am having a hard time putting a little tiny nail in our new fresh walls). Anyway........here are the pictures!!!

Question: My table can't be in the center
of the wall. Do I center that clock
to the center of the table or the
center of the wall?

We still have trim to put on upstairs, curtains (I have the fabric, just gotta sit down and do it), and decorate. I actually got the kids beds all painted and set up today! We painted Grant's room white, but we still need to build his bed then we are going to paint 1 yellow stripe and 1 green stripe. So right now his mattress is on the floor and his walls are freshly painted white! Anyone is now invited to visit. We have the space!! (we just don't have anything to do here in town. You can even ask my parents. They came to visit and they discovered that one!) lol

Looks great! Glad that things are coming together for you guys.
Doesn't a womans touch just make everything better? Looks great! I think the clock should go in the middle of your table.
Eric said just today, "you can tell a woman has moved in!" lol
Congratulations! Isn't it exciting to have a new space to live in? Even more rewarding when you did all yourself!
bachelor pad is dead! woo hoo. however, be sure to keep the pictures close at hand - with 4 kiddos (& eric) it probably won't look that clean all the time!
It looks so bright and inviting. Love it!
Your house looks awesome! And i would center the clock with your table, not the wall. That's what I did with my pictures in my living room, they are centered above the couch, not the center of the wall. And one day I will make the treck up there and see this strange place called Idaho!
Yes, we went to Arco to see if it really existed, and it DOES. It is a lovely quaint little town. I LOVED the drug store! There is a terrific park, and it looks like the town has a good time together.
The house looks great. You've done a lot of work and a wonderful job. We want to come back!
Love Mom and Dad
Wow Hannah, are you gonna start working for Extreme Makeover? How exciting to have a new place with all those lovely fresh paint fumes! You'll have to post pictures after you decorate. I would have to say center the clock with the table.
You two are doing a great job at decorating! I'm so impressed! I'm so glad you are happy now Hannah, great job on the house:)
- Fawn
I love your "new" home. You did a great job remodeling. And yes, you can tell that a woman has moved in. (it looks a lot better. Haha)
