Little bits of home.

When we decided to look for houses we had three real options to pick from. The two that we turned down were great in their own right but were just houses with potential. I knew that the house we put an offer on was the right one when the thought of it going away made me really sad even though it was not at all what I had in mind. It was only 2 bedrooms, all WHITE tile, and basically the exact same thing we had just been renting in Lubbock. But I guess it was meant to be after all because we went with it and did not regret our decision at all. (Well, that was in October and we found out about baby #2 in December so there was a little regret at that time. But, more on making that work to come.)
I am an HGTV addict and would love to do tons of work on our home...Jordan tolerates HGTV and is a  realist. This fact has helped keep me grounded on projects that can truly be done on our home. With it only being 2 bedrooms my mind has been put at ease that it does not have to be my "Forever Dream Home" but perfect for where we are right now. And that is such a comforting feeling. I have been terrible about taking pictures of the progress that we have made since we moved in, but here are some pictures of our place before.

Welcome to the front! This is the only picture that I have of our house before we moved in and I wish that I had taken more.

The quality of the photos are not the best but they still give an general idea of what is going on. But see what I mean?! White tile for days...and green walls.

This is the master closet. It is huge and has become our multi-purpose closet. So far it has served as closet, office, make-shift nursery, and occasional workout room. The lone air vent makes it the perfect temp at all times.

Master bedroom. I cannot even deal with the wall color. It makes me think of silly putty once it has been played with too long. This room is much larger than it appears...both a blessing and a curse/laundry trap.

Dining area. That green though.

I love our kitchen and it is easily the most used area of the house. It is bigger than any other one that we have had since married and SO much storage space.

Guest Bath.

Second bedroom. This room is currently transitioning from the nursery to Eisley's "Big Girl" room. My emotions are also transitioning from Normal to Emotional Mommy along with it.

View #2 with a tiny look at the extra nook in the back of her room. It is precious and will soon be the new nursery. I have the words "Tiny Nursery" on repeat on my Pinterest search bar.

Overall it was pretty much move in ready just needed some paint and love. Which we did, right away. Gallons and gallons of paint. :)
