Welcome to the Thomson House!
We’ve moved! Officially. We closed on Friday morning and it’s been a weekend of labor every since. My feet hurt. My back hurts. My fingertips hurt. But we’ve loving every minute of this adventure! Apologies for the less-than-stellar photographs in this post… my camera was packed away so most of these came from my phone! I just could wait to share a few shots. To be honest though, most of the house looks like this:
Boxes, boxes everywhere. Our wonderful friends helped us move on Saturday morning, so everything was in the house by the early afternoon. We unpacked dozens of boxes and got the bedrooms set up, since my parents came into town Saturday night. We woke up Sunday morning and immediately got to work. Here’s a little peek of the kitchen:
I’m so excited about this kitchen! I wish I had a better picture of it. My mom and I spent the morning cleaning while Alex and my dad knocked down the fence in our backyard to create parking behind our house which will be awesome. No more driving around looking for parking spots! After they tackled that, they set to work on the plumbing. The water pressure in the house was pretty terrible when we moved in. (I mean, it’s a 90 year old house, but still.) Luckily, I have a very handy father and a very handy husband, so the two of them replaced a few pipes and things have been flowing much, much better!
Here’s a little peek of what we have going on in the bedrooms, although both are now full of furniture.
We also sanded the walls of the living room and dining room to prep them for painting. Here’s a shot of the dining room right now, with the current white walls:
I think I’ve finally settled on paint colors, after lots of deliberation, so hopefully I’ll have painted walls later this week! I’ll be back with some actual food related content on Wednesday.
It’s beautiful! I love the wood floors and the kitchen. Can’t wait to see how you decorate!
LOVE the kitchen and wood floor color! Unpacking can seem like it never ends, but a glass of wine can help I hear 😉
Oh my goodness its beautiful!! I bet you are going to do such a great job decorating it! I know unpacking can suck, but its going to look great in the end 🙂
Ahhhh! It’s beautiful! I LOVE all the “old house” elements with that gorgeous modern kitchen! I’m thrilled for you guys! 🙂
That sunroom is amazing!!! All I can think about is how amazing that will be for food photography!!! I’m slightly jealous 😉
Very exciting, congrats!! Your kitchen is gorgeous – I just know your house is going to come together super cute. Can’t wait to see the finished results in a few months. Happy unpacking!
Congrats!! It is the best feeling in the world to own your own home! Love the pictures looks so pretty!
It’s so lovely. Congrats.
Congrats! I love the floors! It reminds me a lot of my home in Chico when I was in college 🙂 Which I loved!
Ahh it’s wonderful! Congrats on the move!! Best of luck with the rest of the moving process and all the journeys ahead in your new home 🙂
