New Year Updates!

It's the new year, and we are in full renovation/updating/decluttering mode. Our list has been solidified on what needs to be done, and the goal is to cross something off our list each weekend. Listing date is just over a year from now, so we need to get on it. I've been working on updating some decor around the house... slowly. Here is our master bedroom. Bryan picked out the color and I love it! A couple of years ago we updated the bedding (IKEA) from blue stripes to the red. I finally, just a couple of weeks ago, picked up this ADORABLE pillow from Target. I think it brings the colors together great. Of course the personal photos will need to be removed and the paint will need to be touched up, but the master is already looking great and needs very few changes!
Next up... the living room. Bryan removed the random hooks that were in the ceiling FINALLY... after nearly 6 years. We're on top of things like that. My mom was AMAZING and got us gift cards for Christmas... we've used one of them for prettying up the joint. Today I popped in to Target and picked up all new throw pillows, a couple of cloth bin/basket things for under the end tables (for toy overflow), and that adorable fireplace guard screen thingy. It's all coming together nicely. I'm slowly coming to the realization that I'll have to remove all of our personal photos of our adorable girls, and I'm heartbroken. Needless to say that will be a last minute change.And finally the play room! I think we're for sure leaving it like this. The girls' toys can't be hidden, and while this is actually our breakfast nook... some things can't be changed. We have kids, and they aren't going anywhere. Future owners are going to want to know they have room for kids... right?
