House pics.


I have a list. Its a mental list really. Of everything I need to get done before I can have this baby. And, guess what. . . This is the last thing on my list! I wanted to get this post done before I have the baby because I know once the baby gets here my house probably won't be this clean for a while :) Now my list is completed. . . come out come out whenever you want baby! When we first got to Buffalo we had a really busy first couple of weeks because we knew that we wanted to paint and do a couple updates to our house before we even bought it and what a better time to do it than before anything is unpacked or hung? It was an extremely stressful couple of weeks but after MUCH cleaning, painting, installing, ect ect. . . I LOVE OUR NEW HOUSE! Just last night me and Doug were talking and he said isn't it so weird how fast this house has become "our home"? We've really only been unpacked for pry 2 weeks but already this feels so much like home to us. Anyway, here are some pics of our new crib . . .


Living room.




Kitchen.


Dining room. I especially am in love with this room. We have put alot of sweat into it so far. Doug hung the bead board and then I came behind him and painted it. I'm really diggin the bead board.

Pantry door. (with my fav. wreath on it) . . .I used to have it on our front door until one day, one of Doug's friends came over and said "I think a rooster ran into your door" :) haha SIlly boy doesn't appreciate my fashion sense! I took it off the front door and hung it in the dining room. I think it looks better there anyway!

Going out our back door I wanted a bench and some coat hangers for the winter time. Doug made this bench and shelf with coat hooks on it for us. Doesn't it look good! Possibly my fav. area in the house.

For Krew's room I had to do a before and after pic because it used to be a little girls room. The pic. above is the before pic. It was so weird to put him to bed in it when we first got here! So after much painting, and bead board installing. . . .

Here it is after. . . What do you think? Is it Boyish now?


Check out those awesome bookshelves that Doug made for Krew's room!

Main floor bathroom.

This is the "everything" room. Its meant to be the salon room but until I get busy doing hair which pry won't be for a while with the baby coming and such its partly an office for doug, craft room for me, workout room, and when we have visitors it will transform into a guest room. A room of many trades.

The "salon" part of the spare room.

Up the stairs is our bedroom. I said that we did alot of painting but of course our bedroom still needs done :) The green wall has got to go. I want to paint it red. . . I'll get around to it someday. Maybe during christmas who knows.


Upstairs bathroom.


This is going to be the baby's room. Right across the hall from our bedroom.


I made this frame for the baby's room. Love the saying. My camera did something wierd to the a in this pic but its really not there!

Our back yard. We were so lucky to get these toys for Krew to play on for FREE from some of our amazing new neighbors! And of course we were telling Krew that he would have a tramp at our new house and he made sure and kept us true to our word! :) He LOVES the tramp!

Lovely sandbox which Doug constructed for Krew. (Needless to say that Krew spends LOTS of time here!)


I'm loving our new house. And, now that we have it all painted and we're totally moved in our house is open for visitors! Any takers? :) We sure miss everyone at home!

I love your house too! I love all the updates you guys have done! I think I'll come back and look at these photos often. Maybe it will motivate me to do some stuff around our house!

I LOVE it!! You two are so dang talented. I'm pretty sure I need to hire you to come to my house and make it a home for us! We're not so good at that....I can't wait to see pictures of Brodi! I hope he comes soon!

Love you guys!

The house looks awesome; it looks like you guys have settled right in. Glad to see Krew is into motorbikes, but I wouldn't expect anything less being raised by you two. I remember you telling me once that you aren't very creative, but Kate, that is definitely a lie after seeing your pictures! You have some stinkin cute stuff. We sure miss our Messick friends, so one day, we might just take you up on your offer and come visit ;) Until then, tell Doug good luck starting school and can't wait for your little guy to get here.

Kate, you house look so AWESOME! I've been dying to see some pictures. I love all the beadboard that you guys added. You guys have done such a good job putting it together; you are so talented. I'm so happy for you guys! I bet Krew loves your back yard!
