An Extremely Overdue Update

To start from way back, Katalyn had her birthday in November and we made red velvet cupcakes from scratch. It sure took a whole lot of red food coloring, but they were really good and we had a fun day.


Now to fast forward to the present. We've moved into Bill and Rochelle's house (Casey's brother and sister-in-law) and have been working on a lot of home improvement projects. We'll show you the kitchen in this post, as all the others are still works in progress. We'll update as they're completed.

This is the awful "grapes of wrath" wallpaper border we took down. It was originally below the chair rail in the dining area of the kitchen.


Here's the wall with the grapes gone, but before we painted it. Casey worked really hard on getting the border off.


Here's the ceiling fan that was in the same room. We've discovered since moving in that we HATE ceiling fans. Note to selves: Never buy a ceiling fan.



Here is the finished product of the dining room area...well, we're still planning on putting up curtains, and the table is usually cleared off, but we're sure you all understand. :) Please take note of the cool light fixture. We stayed up really late working on it, and Casey taught me all about electrical wiring as he was learning it for himself. It was a fun adventure, and now we know how to install light fixtures!


Here's a little preview of one of the projects we're currently working on. Casey's mom got us a changing table and crib, and we've been painting the crib. Here's the priming stage. (Katalyn felt safer wearing her chemistry lab goggles...and it looked cool.) Also note that you can finally see that Katalyn is pregnant, now that she's full term. We're pretty excited about that.



Stay tuned for the rest of our home improvement projects! Coming up: baby crib, living room, and bedroom/master bathroom.
