Our new home.
My friend Beth (not Xanga-Beth!) (one of my bridesmaids, Beth!) is coming to visit me, so my house is extraordinarily clean and mostly decorated for Christmas, so even though I don’t have everything all how I want it yet, its getting closer! I’ll start with this picture from the day we moved in. My dad and Joe conquered all those moving boxes and furniture! Also, this is the first time we’ve ever had a garage which is AMAZING for Pioneer Artisanworks, since we totally outgrew our living room.
The bedroom so far. My favorite feature? His and Hers closets! I still need nightstands, a headboard, curtains, art above the bed, and the vanity needs some love (it used to be a work bench so its covered in random spray paint).
The most unfinished room in the house, but the most useful…the office/guest room. I have so many plans for this room, but none of it is evident yet.
The bathroom, with a mini Christmas tree.
The bedroom and office are both to the left of the bathroom at the end of another short hall. From the bathroom, the hall continues past whats supposed to be the dining room, which is where I have my hutch and an extra bookshelf for serving dishes. Then to the right of the hutch is our little outdated kitchen and the washer and dryer at the very end. There is a peekthrough from the kitchen to the living room…
We put our dining room table (scored for $30 at a thrift store) under the kitchen peekthrough window. We got this amazing branch off my parents’ property, and I’ve been collecting random votive glasses from Goodwill. All of these chairs are uncomfortable, so I’ll be looking at thriftsores and yardsales for better ones. I want them all mismatched and painted bright colors.
Glittery Christmas centerpiece.
We finally live in a house that lets me arrange the chairs exactly how I want AND Joe can sit close enough to the screen to go blind from video games (hahaha, jk). We’re both happy. The giant frame holds all of our favorite Center Median comics. We still need art above the TV, a rug, and an actual TV stand.
Here’s the kitties enjoying their corner.
Joe is eventually going to build an L-shaped couch to go where the bench is. It would help divide the room in half, and it will have a built in bookshelf on the back of it (which is why our books are all piled under the bench right now). I also need to figure out a curtain situation.
And I have a million and one more ideas to improve this little place….

Oh Macy, everything is coming along, so so pretty! Your kitchen looks nice, I thought it was going to look like something from Frankenstein by the way you were describing it.
The kitties, so good to see them in their new home, lots of space to play.
And yay for the workshop!
Yay we finally get to see your house! Well the inside of it. I like your decoration style.
Home ownership – there are always projects. Love the chairs and the lights above the table…
LOVELY!!! I’m jealous of your stuff hung on walls. It took us a year to hang stuff because we couldn’t agree where. And now we have more stuff to hang and once more can’t agree where to put it.
