Our home

The wait for you is over. You can finally see what we/I have done to our main level part of home. It has been somewhat of a mystery till now because I wanted to have it all in one post and it took me awhile to get all the videos filmed. I sound like a super dork in each and every video, turns out. Oh well, at least you have the information and I can move on from waiting and waiting to finish this post. We like our home and feel blessed that we could start off marriage with a house. We will enjoy a house while we can because I am sure in the US we will be living in an apartment for many years. You can see more details of our space over HERE where I have posted some{many} photos of our decor.

Jachen putting together our shelves for the living room while watching Arrested Development. Jachen became really good at hammering and building while looking up at the show.

Our chandelier before I spray painted it. We almost got ride of it because the black was making it drab, but good ol spray paint saved the day!

Jachen hanging our birch tree curtains we used as backdrops for our wedding. His mom made them into curtains for us.

Finally, the after of our main level~the living room, dining room and kitchen.

Part 4 {Dining room}
This is the light fixture that was here before we replaced it. Where we have the dining room now is where the living room was before so this light fixture made more sense in a living room space.

This boat key holder was the only thing on this wall before. I took that down and painted the framing on the white board and covered a bulletin board with the matching fabric in the living room. The bulletin board also serves as our key holder. I even dressed up the back of the white board eraser with the matching fabric.

I added art to our stairs that leads to the second floor.

I also made a video of our upstairs bathroom. Not that its fancy or anything, but it sure is quite the improvement to what it was before.
