House update

So we have been very busy lately between all the house projects and family visiting. We have officially started the process of finishing the basement. It is Hubs goal to have his movie theater done by the time football season starts. Thankfully he has the summer off since he works at a school, so if you need him, he will be down in the basement. 

We just recently bought a bunch of new furniture that will actually fit in this gigantic house and look like it belongs. For now we have been using older furniture that has been through the military life with us and traveled from coast to coast. It was about time we get some new stuff. 

The current project being done is our patio. I have no idea what the previous owners were thinking, but what they created was definitely not a patio. It had more weeds and grass than the yard and you couldn't sit out there without feeling like you were going to fall backwards from all the unevenness. 

I also recently redid a table my grandpa gave me and made it into my new office desk. I did a lot of experimenting, but I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. It was just the right amount of rustic and distressness I wanted.

I also have to share my excitement of finally finding lamps for our bedroom. I have had my heart set on crystal lamps for awhile, but they can be crazy expensive. Since I am such an avid Homegoods shopper, I have been keeping my eye out and waiting for the right ones to come along. I found many I liked, but of course there was only one lamp. Finally last night I went for a quick check in and there they were. They were exactly what I was looking for and hold on guess how much they were?... only $40. Normally these babies can be around $200 each and home goods usually has them for $70 each. But boy was it my lucky day. Hubby isn't too sure about them, but he gets the basement for his man cave and I get the lamps I want. Done deal. 

Here is a new piece of furniture we bought for the front entry way

The table I refurnished. The office is coming along, just need to find the right artwork piece for behind the desk

Here are the lamps I finally found! The mirrored night stand is also a Homegoods find. They are usually at least $800, but I got it for less than a third of that!

Here is the hideous patio that is currently being torn down and redone, thankfully!

And finally we cant forget about our adorable puppies! Here they are on the way home from the vet.
