New Paint! The selections were easy for me to decide on, but hard to convince the husband it would look good. As a designer...clean and simple is what I like. A modern approach mixed with fun and classic pieces (this is collection we are building). A house with kids can still be modern and cozy at the same time.

And in case you were wondering....the husband loves the finished product;)

We're Still Here

We were so excited (and still are) about our new house and couldn't wait to share every detail with our friends and family. Reality....there just aren't enough hours in the day for us;) Work has been super busy for the two of us, and the kiddos keep us busy as soon as we get home from work and school. I don't know what a full night's sleep is, and blogging....well has taken a back seat. I will get better. We have lots of new things to share and many more improvements to do. So stay tuned.....we haven't fallen off the face of the earth.

Mia's first Easter

Mikey insisted he show her what it was all about;)

Skimming Done

All of our walls are skimmed and primed and ready for paint!
Level 5 finish makes me oh so happy:)









No more hunter green;)

Painting Progress

The pictures are anything fancy, but I am so excited to see the popcorn texture off ceilings and heavy knock down texture off the walls.
We have a great team working for us, and they are doing such a thorough job.
They should finish skimming the ceilings tomorrow & sanding the trim, then priming tomorrow night, and we should have fresh trim and color on the walls by Thursday. Stay Tuned!

Sunny San Antonio

Just a Sunny Friday in San Antonio.

A few before shots

We wanted to share a few before shots of the house.
I love the culture in San Antonio, but the Fiesta is once a year and we do not need the colors in the house year round;)
So painting will happen very very soon.

Got the Keys......

April 2, 2011...it's official , we now have the keys to our new home!
Randy and I are so excited about building our new home here in San Antonio.
Mikey did have some interesting comments on our way to the house. It went like this...
Rents: Mikey we are going to your new house today.
Mikey: Where is at? Can I play?
Rents: Is just up the street buddy, and yes you can play.
Mikey: Well...did you guys pay for it.
Rents: Chuckling...Yes Mikey we paid for it.
Mikey: Are you sure? Really? Are you promise?
Rents: Yes Mikey, we promise....it's all yours!
Mikey: Awesome!

So yes we did pay for the house and we can't wait to show you all the mayhem
