Phase 1

As many of you know we have been working on getting our house decorated so that it shows a little bit of us.  We bought the house and moved in right before Christmas, we had long enough to get the house "settled" before the wedding.  Since the wedding we have been working on painting and decorating.  It is so nice to have a handy husband who can do things at a cheaper price.  Here is phase 1 of our house.  This was the easiest room because it mostly involved buying rather than doing. 

We put in a new light fixture in the eating area quite a while ago, since you would hit your head on the old one. 
However, most recently our project was the living room.  Here is what it looked like last month.

Since then we have changed a few things.  As a wedding gift my parents bought us an art piece.  We spent some time looking for just the right one and we really liked this one.  In order to bring out the painting a little more we painted the back wall a mocha color.  We also have finally replaced our surround sound speakers and stereo so this is one loud room.  Jon's favorite part of it all was the fact that we bought outdoor speakers for the pool.  The only thing we really need at this point is to figure out what kind of drapes we want.

Here is another angle that gets both rooms, I think the picture is a little distorted but you get the idea.
