Oh there you are....

Ok so it has been a while. I have rightfully neglected my blog because I have been feeling too frustrated to write anything (especially since most of it would come off as negative).

I have made it 6 months in my house now, and while I'm trying to turn things around, there are still some set backs.

That being said, we have done some renovations to the house since I moved in, the biggest being the flooring on the main level, got rid of the carpet; which likes to collect my dog's hair.

Now I realize I never put up pictures from when I had finally moved in, so probably best to start with those, just to give a feel of the changes. There will be more pictures to come as I get everything set up better, installing of entertainment shelves, put DVDs in order, etc. But just quick feel of how I'm slowly progressing.

My living room day I moved in


Another view of my living room, but this time with all the right furniture


Just view of fancy light my mom got me in Montreal (you'll notice a colour theme)


One of my favourite places, the kitchen/bar


Powder room


Guest room, or as we call it, my mom's room


Main bathroom - tried to give everything a theme (easier for shopping)




My favourite purchase


My sanctuary; I lied, this is my favourite purchase



Source of my headaches


Now just quick after pictures:

New floor in living/dining room




New bar; can you sense the colour theme?:


All in all, it's slowly coming along, but I have yet to have a house warming because I want the house to feel decorated and like I've lived in it, not out of boxes. I hope to get more pictures up this weekend after our next project....the office
