small house update

well, we have been working on the house [almost every spare moment] and it is coming along... slowly.

{i LOVE it}

better than i ever could have imagined. it is so wonderful to be able to put ideas and design to work that i have been mulling over for so long!

this is the living room, semi-before...



and after... (we still haven't moved the wood stove up into place, but will eventually do that before it gets cold. it will go right into the tiled area and the pictures on the ground have now found other homes.)



we also used the hot tub for the first time a few nights ago. again...I LOVE IT! it is so great to be able to relax and unwind after a busy day, in your own backyard...looking out over the valley, listening to the crickets, chatting with my man!





[more before and after pictures to come!]
