Joyful Living

Finally Settled

If you've read my blog in the past, you'd know that we had been planning a move from Utah to North Carolina.  We just made the move within the last few weeks and that's why I haven't blogged in 2 months.  Our house in Utah is an old one and needed a LOT of work before we dared put in on the market, so we were incredibly busy for quite a while. 



This is the new living room floor, baseboards, and walls.


This is another view of the living room with the new curtains.


This is the stairwell leading upstairs.  I painted the floor, stairs, railing, rebuilt the walls and textured and painted.


This is the color we did in the bathroom.  We also put in a new surround and textured the walls.  We don't care for texturing, but we had no choice with the amount of defects in the old walls.


This is the upstairs bedroom.  We pulled up the carpet, painted the wood planks underneath, textured the walls and painted.  We also built in a window seat bench.  That picture will follow.


Well, I think I will save our actual move and our adventures in Raleigh for another post.  :)

I live in Indiana but I have often thought I would enjoy living in North Carolina. I will look forward to your reports on NC and how you and your family like it there.

God bless~ Andrea
