It has begun!

It has begun... Christmas season AND renovations!! 

Welp we are in and renovations are under way! So far I have repainted the cabinets and the living room and kitchen walls and I LOVE IT! 
This is the before and after, it looks like a completely new kitchen. Did I mention that I LOVE it? (the drawer pulls still need to be added- 
they're on order...)

I chose Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams, which changes color (honestly it does) with the lighting- from blue to gray to a blue green... it is the absolute perfect color for us. 

The PERFECT color!

The kitchen cabinets were outdated so I wanted to paint them an off white and update the knobs and cabinet pulls. My mom helped me every step of the way. 


Clearly the cutest (and moderately decorated) house on the block, duh. I believe next year the house will be "decked out" in all its Christmas glory!

And as hilarious and ridiculous as it is, I have not unpacked my clothes but every room in the house is decorated for Christmas! I LOVE Christmas decorations, it's always so happy and joyful and just puts me in a good mood. So I decided that just because we had bought a house and were in the process of major renovations and unpacking, we simply were not going to skip decorating our new house for Christmas.

The kitchen, living room, hall and bathrooms are just a few rooms in the house that have a little bit of the Christmas spirit! I also have baby pictures framed of my brother and I on Santa's lap (actually me screaming in Santa's face) and Scott and his siblings in front of a Christmas tree as kids too! I love the pictures, they make me smile every time I see them.



The girliest tree, ever. Sorry Scott! haha. Next year we may have to invest in some gender neutral ornaments! Part of the tree displays our "house divided" ornaments with Clemson and Cocky- note there are many USC and Cocky ornaments and only two Clemson ones (that are hidden as much as possible...).
