In our new house, we have a massive master bedroom closet. And not just in size, but height. The shelves are so, so high I have to stand on my tippy toes to hang things. So the original layout of our closet kept all of my things on the bottom, and Brad took the top. But then I could never reach my purses, and my shoe situation was a mess. You can see the mess below!
So with all of our quarantine projects started to cause our garage to overflow because everything we decided not to keep ended up here. We already had little space due to all of the things we generally have and our lack of storage and shelving in the new garage.
One of our big projects we planned this year was tackling our back yard. I love the room we have back there, and our covered back porch is AMAZING! However, the flower beds just were not our cup of tea. Don’t get me wrong, if this is your thing, great. It just isn’t ours. I would MUCH rather have that space for Melody to run free, and we plan to eventually use that space for a grilling area. Well since we have been home during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have had the time to really devote to doing things all around the house. And that includes our backyard! LOTS of pictures ahead!
During this quarantine, we have decided to take the time to complete some lingering projects since we are home 24/7. Brad is still working from home, and I am trying to keep a routine with Melody and continue teaching her preschool things. But we still are constantly seeing these uncompleted projects ALL the time. So the project that we see the most, and it is the easiest to complete was our dining room. We had everything but the paint, and we already had samples picked out that we wanted to try. And since it was the first thing you practically see when you walk in our house, it just made the most sense!
So now that we are all moved into our new house, we are currently “making it our own”. We have unpacked, but now we need to paint and decorate. We decided to do Melody’s room first. It was the easiest, and we already had everything to do it except the paint.
One of my most favorite parts about our new house is the back porch. We now have a HUGE back porch that is COVERED!! Our previous house didn’t have any awning what so ever, and it was fairly small what porch we did have. So fixing up our back porch was one of the first things I wanted to do!
So as you have likely read, we have recently moved into a new house. I already told you about our last night in our old house, but now it is time to tell you about our first night in our new house. The first night we OWNED the house, we did not stay there. Instead we stayed with our friends Emily and Justin who recently moved too, and it happens to not be too far from our new house. Anyhow, we decided to do this because the previous owners had three dogs, and we knew we wanted to clean the carpet before moving any furniture. Plus we would need help which didn’t start arriving until the next day.
