More painting!

I should be posting more, but the exhaustion from so much painting has been kicking in. We have been working full speed to get the rooms painted that we need before the furniture arrives... which is finally today!! 

So before, our bedroom was a weird yellow colour with pretty depressing green trim. Every room in the house has windows similar to these too. The have been a chore and after I doing this set, Jacob was sweet enough to do the rest. I'm a bit of a perfectionist with these sorts of things. Even though the windows are 3 meters up, they had to be perfect... Yeah, this room took us a week. Once Jacob took over, we've been able to bust through the rest of the house. Thank you my darling hubby!

And After...

The light fitting was found in the window seat!

This is when we were still sleeping on the floor. 6 weeks of camping mattresses...

Birthdays and such..

Ok, since being stupidly busy with the house, I haven't been able to play catch up yet! I'll try and space these out as not to overwhelm you!

Happy 40th Birthday Mr. Taylor! Thanks for having us and it was such a lovely afternoon! Jacob was able to catch up with a few people he knew in his past Wellington life and I was able to spend some time with our sugar-buzzed niece...

And a very special Happy Birthday to my hubby. We had a small family dinner out at Sweet Mother's Kitchen with all the goodies! Including a couple Margarita Jugs...

Thank you Jacob for being so amazing. So dedicated and driven. Without you, we wouldn't be here...
