So we have been trying to do some things to our house so it wouldn't just be such a blank slate and empty. Part of it started with just the fact that Kelly was going to be staying with us for the summer and figured it would be good to get an actual guest bed so she wouldn't have to sleep on an air mattress.
I had a friend that I met through Big Brothers that sells mattresses and was able to get us a good deal. We used Omar's old bedding that he had when he was a bachelor but are in the process of getting some new bedding to make that room a little more bright and airy. Now that Kelly's last day was this past Friday we will start to work on that room by picking out paint and doing some work to the furniture that we have there.
We finally bought a sofa. We found one on discount at Ashley Furniture. It took about a month for delivery, but now we have a sectional so we can have more people over and have a place for everyone to sit.
We painted the living room, kitchen, and my office. We made one of our 3 other bedrooms into an office for Omar.
All we have left is to purchase a chair, side table and a set of bookshelves for my office.
We are discussing putting a day bed into one of the other 3 bedrooms so it could be used for someone to sleep on, or whenever we decide to have kids we can also use it for a nursery.
Omar worked on cleaning and organizing the garage and put in some shelves there.
We have been getting some art work. We did a canvas copy of one of our favorite wedding pictures for our family room, and placed out the Turkish rug we bought in Mexico. Kelly created the idea for my office of turning a picture of the St. Augustine lighthouse into art for my office. I still need to finish it.
Slowly but surely we are making our way to having a completed home.
