The Howard Home!

This weekend was extremely busy, to say the least.  We worked Thursday night through Sunday night, usually 8 a.m. to 2 a.m.  We wanted to be moved before we leave for Florida on Thursday.  For now, we are unpacked, situated, and our feet hurt! When we return from the honeymoon, it will be time to paint the entire house--I already have the colors picked out.  That will make a huge difference; I love the look of fresh paint.  This will be a long post, so without further babbling, here is a tour of our new home.

"One doesn't love his home for the things within.  He loves it for the memories that are made there."

This is the only thing in the living room right now.  Couch, love seat, and end tables arrive tomorrow!

The master bath.  The shower curtain has rhinestone details.

Kitchen.  Countertops, flooring, and bar stools are temporary.  That's our next project after Florida.

I love doing laundry now.  I'm so amazed with how smart my washer and dryer are.

144 pc. China set that Brian's dad gave us as a wedding gift before he passed away.  He bought it when he was in Korea with the military 30 years ago.  It was never opened and removed from the original packaging until this weekend.  It holds so much meaning to us.

The office...this area is still under construction. Eventually, it will have a lavender, gray, and black theme.

Walk-in closet...a necessity! 

Pictures to come:  Living Room and Dining Room when the furniture arrives.  Also, the basement is partially finished with a full bath and three rooms.  We just need to finish ceiling and flooring.  A great project to keep Mr. Howard busy. ;)
