Before and After!!!! Moving IN!!!!

So of course food is the most important part of ANY event!!! Vinny's coordinator of instruction made us a WHOLE meal, equipped with a kid's portion of butter noodles, because she knew what moving is like.."pizza and BK meals"...which is exactly what our meals were like the whole week of remodeling before we moved in!

What a "God-send" Tracy was! The meal was delicious and presented so beautifully! And really, what would we have done without my dad, working ALL week, day in day out while we were at our jobs, doing the floors and back wall! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU DAD!!!

On Moving In Day Dan and Jody surprised us with a day trip up to see our new home and support us with their presence...they will never know what it meant to us to have them "stop by" when it takes 3 hours to get here and they have a 3 month old baby!

Gianna was sooooo happy to be with her cousin Payton Belle!!! We LOVED seeing Payton and her CUTE ADORABLE dimples when she smiles!!!

Before...

AFTER, but still in progress...my dad will fill in the top part with the beadboard too and we have to install OUR GORGEOUS chandelier!!! (but no more blue carpet or very busy wallpaper!!!)

BEFORE...

BEFORE close up!!!

After...partly...ignore the boxes and no decorating!!! We won't hang stuff until all the other work is done and Dad is coming up this week to finish trim and beadboard!

The left side of entryway...(no decorating done tho) But do you see the Pottery Barn bargain I got on Craigslist???? (the table!!!) soooo loving waking up and sitting around the amazing table chatting, eating breakfast with the fam!!!

I really am not leaving stuff how it looks below-we haven't moved everything to it's proper place, nor decorated in the least...BUT doesn't that back wall look so

BEFORE on the right side of entryway...

AFTER....(no blue carpet!!!) and no funky smell from DOG PEE all over!! YUCK!

PS-we will not be keeping the tv on the table. Our tv is in the bonus room and we won't have one in this room, but while we were in the moving in process we watched movies here.
