House Progress

 We've been steadily working on our house. The bedrooms and bathroom are pretty much complete, except for some decorating.

No after photo yet, but here's the inside of the drawers!
In the kitchen, I lined all the drawers with a patterned Contact paper. We painted the cabinets all white; they were polyurethaned oak and they made the kitchen seem really dark. I'm slowly unpacking kitchen boxes. It is taking a little longer than normal for several reasons: 1. The boxes have been in storage since October, so there is dust, 2. We bombed for bugs when we moved the boxes to this house because we saw some spiders and roaches when moving boxes from the storage building to the Budget truck, 3. I found mouse poopies in some of the boxes. Needless to say, EVERYTHING is getting washed before going in the cabinets.

 The spare bedroom is painted and the bed is set up. We only have fleece sheets for this bed currently, so I will be shopping for new sheets and a comforter soon.

 The bathroom was all beige and we painted the walls yellow and accented with grey. The shower curtain, bath mat and towels are all shades of grey. The white bookshelf looking thing in the lower left of the photo will be hung near the toilet. In our previous houses we've always had piles of magazines and books by the toilet. I told the Hubs we are only limited to what will fit in this bookshelf and then we need to downsize the pile.

Our bedroom walls are the same color as the spare bedroom, except for the accent wall at the head of the bed. It is called "Grey Flannel" but appears purple, blue or grey depending on the lighting and what accessories are near it. We temporarily have our living room end tables in the bedroom, until we order our bedroom set. Then we'll finally have a headboard for the kingsize bed, with a matching dresser and matching side tables.
