it's just gotta feel like home

it is somewhat of a serendipitous situation we've found ourselves in. we received our household goods that were in boxes on monday, awesome right? well, all those things in boxes, for the most part, came out of pieces of furniture such as bureaus and desks, etcetera. we did about all we could by putting the boxes in their respective areas of the house, but then we hit a (dry)wall... we felt we had nothing to do. lucky for us (thick sarcasm), certain areas of the house need some lovin'. high traffic areas such as the bathroom and kitchen were a bit run down and in need of some Zack and Age restoration (paint of both the brush and spray varieties). I must say, I was a bit apprehensive when we began sprucing up a home that doesn't belong to us but... it's just gotta feel like home.

the pictures do not do it justice but bear with us. the bathroom was a certifiable train wreck. rust and straight up dingy walls surrounded one of the two areas of any home where it is socially acceptable to remove one's clothes... neither of us were willing to take that leap in the bathroom that we found. after a deeeeeeep clean, a fresh coat of paint on the walls/cabinets/window/hardware, and some handsome new accessories... it was squared away. ON TO THE KITCHEN!

we are having lots of fun and we plan to complete the dirty work this afternoon. when the miss

ion is complete, or we run out of motivation, we plan to dive headlong into the quite-hyped furniture capital of the United States of America... North Carolina. there are a few places around us and we are in search of a love seat. wish us luck. over.
