New stuff for the house!

Since I just posted about some of the changes that have happened around the house, I thought that I would post about all the new things I have gotten during the past month. Except for the lamp, I got all this for Valentine's Day from Mom and Dad!

First I got some new frames that match the new placemats. I haven't gotten pictures for them yet but they look so good I couldn't wait till then to post about them. Ignore the putty on the walls. I haven't got the paint bucket out just yet!

Here is the lamp that I mentioned before. I got it this past weekend at Wal-Mart. The lamp shade was $10 but the base was only $4.50! I thought that was a pretty good deal! It is on top of the shelves I bought a while back for the "mudroom".

Here is my favorite new thing! Mom made me a frame to hold all my home football tickets from this past season (Roll Tide)! It turned out great and fits the spot perfectly!


Also I got 2 pillows that match my curtians for the living room! Thanks Mom!!

And this one is reversible!!

Around the house updates.

Today I was looking at my blog and some of the things I have posted about the house. I realized a lot has changed since I first moved in and I have never really posted any "finished product" pictures. So here are some pictures that I took this afternoon to update you about all the things that have changed in the house!

Here is the living room. I know I just posted about the new coffee table but I wanted to make sure I posted about the living room as a whole. The first time I posted about the living room, it still had a long way to go and look at it now! I love it! Check it out back in 2008.

A lot has changed in the dining room as well. The shelves are now filled. They look so different and fuller since the last post about them!

I also finally found some placemats and napkins that I love!
You can see the ones I had before by clicking here.

Here is the bedroom all complete and finished! This is the last time I posted about it.
I guess you would call this picture the "after, after" picture.

This is something that I added to my bathroom. Mom purchased a machine that can cut this kind of stuff out. I thought this was really cute under the mirror in the bathroom.

Finally, here are the updated door knobs. Over Christmas, when I was buying the new front door, I found these beauties for $8 each!! Can you believe that?? I changed out all 10 doorknobs in the house. To save money in the begining, I actually spraypainted the old doorknobs! These are a major improvement!!

There is still a couple of things I would like to do around the house but nothing major. I am going to try to post about changes when they happen from now on, instead of waiting till a year or so!

Sorry!

I haven't been the best at posting this month! I have pictures and things to post about but work is somewhat hectic this time of year. This weekend I am going to Hamilton for my brother's "Going Away" party. He is leaving March 21 for 4 months to complete the rest of his officer training. I promise, pictures will be taken and I will have a full month update in the near future!!
