moving on up.

Have you missed me?! I’ve missed you! I’ve been dying to blog for the last week but unfortunately it has been an insanely busy week. We moved in last Saturday!

There is so much I want to tell you. I want to tell you all about the move, the week leading up to the move and all of love we were received the day of the move and the days leading up to the move. So I think I’ll start there. We had so many people offer their time and their well wishes, it was extremely overwhelming in that awesome, heartwarming kind of way! My parents drove down from New York, our friends Jess and Alex came over and RC’s parents came down as well! See! So much love.

surprise from my brothers and sister!

Even though I was on the receiving end of some flak from a bunch of people for the lack of posts since the move it was still sooo nice to hear that people care THAT much. You really know how to make a girl feel special!

Enough of the sappy stuff, let’s show you some house! Let’s start with the kitchen. I think you’ve waiting long enough but first let’s take a trip down memory lane. This is the kitchen that the house came with…

Totally not my style or functional for that matter. It’s really not a real comparison because where our new kitchen is was the new addition to the house so it technically didn’t exist in those original pictures. Remember, we added this extension?

The new kitchen is in the new part of the house and the new stairs are in the old kitchen. Totally easy to follow, right? I’m so excited for you to see the kitchen but I did want to start  by saying almost every single person that saw the cabinets in real life said “oh they look whiter in the pictures" so I took this picture of a white paper towel next to the off white cabinets..

Now you can’t say I’ve never did anything for you! I'm not 100% sure that even does the color justice but at least you can see how not-white they are.  Let's see more!!! Here is a shot of the kitchen if you’re walking in from the front door.

We’ve since put in appliances, here are some pictures I just took. They still have to fix the top of the range hood but we’re getting there!!!!

We have over the cabinet and under the cabinet spot lights and I LOVE it. It wasn’t something that was on my must have list but I think it makes the backsplash pop. Speaking of backsplash, this was something that RC and I splurged on. It’s a natural stone and I really think it polishes off the kitchen. I took some close up pictures because I don’t think the above pictures do it justice and it’s just to pretty to not mention in detail.

So what do you think of the kitchen? Worth the wait or what? I LOVE it, it’s my favorite room in the house. RC even loves the off white cabinets and I love the 32” inch TV in the kitchen. EVERYBODY WINS! I have so much more to tell you and show you so keep checking back, I’ll work through a level or room at a time. We’re pretty much completely unpacked but we’re still in the market for furniture for our bedroom and the living room. It’s coming together, slowly but there is definite progress!
