for reals this time.

sometimes i feel lame for posting my pictures on facebook and then writing a blog about it, like everyone who's going to read this has already seen them. but this gets more detail so i figure if you don't want to read it, you can ignore my posting about posts on facebook.

anyways, our movers got here on monday! hallelujah. now before you ask, no we did not pay them less/nothing, and no, i don't think we're going to get a refund despite how hard i try. they are jack&^%#@. and i hate them. the problem with moving companies is that the movers don't know what's going on, they just pick up and drop off stuff. and he wouldn't give us our stuff without us paying beforehand. sooo we paid them. the lovely learning experience is over now, thank goodness, but we all know: don't ever move with GLOBAL MOVING.

ok, i'm done ranting about those piece of junk people. we have spent the last several days unpacking, hanging things, cleaning and making our house much more liveable. and i have to say, i just love it. it feels so much bigger than our old place because of the tall ceilings, when it's only about 300 sq. feet larger, which i guess is enough to make a difference too. 

this is the view i see while making dinner. scene: baby trying to snatch dad's new macbook. dad trying to keep him very far away. 

most of these pictures will be the same as a couple posts ago, but with stuff in it. 

 the kitchen and dining room:

yes, these magnets are awesome. they entertain the child while i have to clean out the bath tub from little accidents during the bath.

 

the bathroom:

one thing i love about this place is how the bathroom is right next to the kitchen. i can clean up dinner and contain the beast in the bath at the same time because i can see him.

 he has this new found obsession with lifting up the toilet lid and swirling his hands around in it. it's awesome. we need some locks. like in baby mama. haha i need to watch that movie now... if you haven't, you should. it's awesome.

 

the living room:

my frame wall is awesome. it's missing a couple right now, because i ran out of frames {the walls in this place are gigantic!!} it's also going to have an "L" in the middle of it too when i get around to buying it. i have been met with some resistance about the wall with no pictures in the frames, but i seriously love it. type in "frame wall" in google and you can see how popular it is becoming. and it's such a cheap, easy decoration! spray paint and thrift stores are a wonderful thing

 this is my new couch. we bought it on amazon, who knew you could buy furniture on there? i didn't. it's much more awesome than the one we were going to buy at ikea.... so good thing it was sold out when we went.

this is my husband's pride and joy. i'm pretty sure i've never seen him so excited for anything in my entire life of knowing him. even us getting married might have been surpassed. he's saved up his money for about two years, but then it had to go to his ACL surgery, so he had to start over. and he finally had enough. 

funny story about the tv stand. it was an entertainment center... but then someone bought a tv that was too big to fit into it. i almost cried. we bought that entertainment center in march and stored it waiting for our new place. it was awesome. but we spent more on the tv than the stand.... so the top of it went bye bye. it's ok though, i think it looks fine now, maybe even better than with the hutch with the window behind it. 

the office: 

my craft desk. a little disorganized due to levi not having a desk yet, so his stuff's on mine but it's so nice to have a place to put stuff! and this desk will be painted very soon. too bad my spouse won't let me paint his. i think he thinks i've gone a little nutso with spray paint. actually, i know he thinks that.... but for $3.00 i will take it. and it's awesomeness.

 

the beasty's room:

these applique's are awesome. i love how cute they are, and they don't take paint off, and are educational, someday we'll sing the ABC song while i'm pointing to them. i have visions of this =) 

this is only part of his room, because we can't put his crib together due to the movers losing the bolts sooo it's all on the floor. i need to think of some decorations for his room. i'm envisioning a banner going across his window/wall, not sure yet... the walls here are just so tall i don't know how to cover them! and especially with not being able to paint, i'm lacking in ideas. any suggestions will be put in for consideration. =) 

snicker's bathroom: 

this hasn't changed much since we first moved in. i still love the shower curtain. i need some decorations for here too. what can go in the bathroom?? pictures will get all soggy, not that we've ever used the shower in there.... i need some ideas. 

 

our bedroom:

our closet is awesome. i dig it immensely. i've been waiting my whole life for a walk in closet.

 our room is seriously lacking in decorations. my awesome headboard i made a while ago needs to be revamped.... creme on creme walls just doesn't work. it was perfect with our navy blue walls, but unfortunately not anymore. i need to stalk some more blogs to decide what i can do for cheap in here.

so there it is... with all our stuff in it, hurrah hurrah! i am taking suggestions for stuff to add to our house, please leave an insightful/amazing comment for me to do!
