The House

We have been living in our new house for about two months. We didn't own much furniture because we were previously living in a 1100 square foot apartment in Minneapolis. So we have purchased a lot of new furniture to fill up our new house. And we still have a long way to go. As you can see most of our walls are still bare. I am definitely struggling with the decorating. If you have any decorating tips, they would be greatly appreciated!

FAMILY ROOM: We love our new couch and entertainment center. The couch is so comfortable and it reclines. I am having a hard time deciding on a coffee table. I am not sure what shape would fit the best: round vs. square vs. rectangle?? I also have been looking for a large picture to go above the fireplace.
KITCHEN & DINING ROOM: I absolutely love my kitchen!! Eventually I want to get a bigger dining room table and bar stools.
BABY ROOM & BATHROOM: I have lots of work to do in the nursery. I want to get pictures to put up on the shelf and I need to hang up her curtains.

MASTER BEDROOM: We bought new bedroom furniture and bedding. I need to get something to put over the bed, curtains, and bedside lamps.

LIVING ROOM: We bought a new piano and couch. I have orderd two accent chairs in the fabric above, but I am still waiting for them to get delivered. I have been looking for a huge mirror to go above the couch. Any ideas??

GUEST BEDROOM: We have our old bedroom furniture in the guest room. We have already had quite a few visitors. We love having visitors! (hint, hint)

GARAGE: We also just bought a new car to go in the garage. I have been driving my father-in-law's green volvo wagon since we moved back from Minneapolis. Finally we have our own car. It is an Acura MDX and it is really fun to drive.

I had to post a few more picture of peaches. She keeps getting cuter everyday!

Pictures of Peaches....finally!

Here she is....5 months old and almost sitting up on her own. I just about gave up on my blog, but I have had several requests for photos of baby Allison. We are still calling her Peaches or Baby Peach. She is truly a bundle of joy! She is happy and smiling about 95% of the day. She eats like a champ and sleeps through the night. I couldn't have asked for a better baby. We are having so much fun with her. She finally rolled over for the first time at 5 months. The picture below is of her with her cousin, they are the same age! She is definitely small for her age, but she is growing fast. She has big chubby thighs and a little double chin. At her last appointment she weighed about 12 pounds. I will try to post pictures at least once per month.

Pictures of the new house and furniture.....COMING SOON!!
