The Anderson Home

We moved into the house last week and have been in love. We can't believe how much space we have. Emry has a favorite cupboard that he climbs inside and closes the door and plays peek-boo with us. He likes to check out every single one to find out what's inside. He's never been allowed in the kitchen before so it's a new adventure for him. I love how much counter space I have to cook with and prep with. However it's very weird to have to take about 8 steps to get across my kitchen where before I took one and turned and I was there.
We've also had to get used to stairs. My legs are a little sore from going up and down all day long. I try to minimize it as much as possible. In the last blog I was frustrated about missing items and I finally found them. The remotes fell out of the door I hid them in and were underneath the drawer. Thank goodness. I left on Wednesday to head to Utah price match and find the best deals on items that we needed right away in the house like blinds. It was a good thing too since at home depot here it would have been about 570 for blinds and I spent 380 at Lowes in Utah. BIG DIFFERENCE! I also found a kitchen table and chairs, a dresser and nightstands for Emry's room when he needs them, a sofa table, some end tables and a 4 poster bed for my room. They are all projects for me so It'll be some time before they show up on here. We also ended up getting a new couch because it was cheaper then buying a love seat to match the couch we had. So now our couch is for sell if anyone needs one please let me know. It was 700 new and it's a year old and selling it for 300. We're also selling a Samsung, stainless steal side by side with water and ice Refridgerator. We haven't decided on a price yet but somewhere around 600.

Our first project we did this weekend was tackle the downstairs blinds and we tried out the paint design we chose on the half bath. Though we have to redo it because we didn't use a primer on the counters it's a good start. It needs touched up and we hadn't decided if we were going to do doors so that's why the jamb isn't painted yet. But we loved out it turned out so we can't wait to do the rest of the house. Once I go get the primer for the cupboards of course.

Another angle. I love the window in this bathroom.

Future Project: 4 poster bed!

Yes we did...

We closed on friday morning. It took forever and we signed our name more in that two hours than we have in our entire lives. What fun!. Anyway we moved that day and we're officially dead! We are very sore and and have a good portion of our house done. So far we're missing one bag which had emry's bedding and other things in it and of course our REMOTES!!! not kidding but EVERY single time we have moved which is about five times since we've been married we have lost a remote. This time we lost 2! I am so frustrated! I have looked in every single box over and over again and they are no where to be found. We only have about five boxes not unpacked so there aren't a lot of places they could be. I just done understand the remote black hole we have looming around us. Insane.
Devin has already fixed the bookcase that was broken a year ago. Just needed a house to convince him to fix it. He's painted my pantry to see if we like what we picked for colors. So far it loolks good. We got Emry's bed rigged up so it will no longer leave guages in the wall when Emry shakes the heck out of the crib. He's funny. We go curtians up last night in our rooms so we could attempt to sleep past the sunrise. It worked a little better. Other than that I cooked our favorite breakfast(Hovik Family Tradition) this morning and Emry loved it but didn't eat too much. He was still tired even though he just woke up.
I'll keep you updated on the development of our house but for now I have a test to study for so another week......
