Move Day

We finally moved into the house!! Yes, we're missing door knobs, have 1 working toilet, and much more to complete but we're super excited to be in that we don't care! Jason and I love working together on projects and we were tired of working at the house in shifts alone. We figured it was at a point where we could move in so we did it. I will say that tonight is the first night I have actually cooked in the kitchen. We've been eating out so much. But it's starting to feel like home.

We are so thankful that we took our time renovating and were able to move in without any debt. Every month we saved up for the projects we wanted to complete, even if it was only a few galons of paint that we purchased. So if you're wondering why it took us so long that's one of the reasons...throw in 2 small children and 8 months later we have a renovated home.
It seems like we will never run out of projects with this house. Jason is thrilled that we have a full unfinished basement to work on in the future! Below is a picture of the island we wrapped in beadboard, added baseboards and cabinet doors. I was really pleased with the finished product. Instead of having a separte kitchen table we had one large slab of granite installed on the island and will use the other end as a table. I'll post another picture once the legs are painted. Olivia has loved sitting on her bar stool!
