Home Improvement!

No, Tim Allen will not be appearing in this blog post. Sorry for the disappointment :)
However, we did finally find some time to make some much needed improvements to our house.
First off, we bought an area rug for the living room!
 Hardwood floors are very pretty (and easier to clean than carpet in my opinion) however, they are not very comfortable to sit and play on. So, the first improvement on the list was to make the living room more "comfortable" by adding an area rug. 

Next! Our kitchen had a very awkward wall space between the counter and the pantry. It wasn't really big enough to do anything with, so I decided to consult the trusty Pinterest for some ideas on what to use to fill this obnoxiousness blank wall :)
I decided on a menu board. 
We purchased 1 can of chalkboard paint and a few feet of trim and this project was complete in about an hour! How fun!


On to the master bedroom.
 Chair railing- check! 
When we bought our home all the walls in the house were the same tan color. 
We repainted all the rooms with the exception of the bathroom and the hallways. 
When it came to the master bedroom and bath we decided to split the colors to give it a little bit more pzazz ;)  but we had yet to get around to adding the chair railing.  

And finally- we purchased a new washer and dryer. 
Nope, these are not a fancy front load like we would have liked to have. 
However, they are efficient and QUIET which is a lot more than can be said for our last set! 

That's all the improvements for now!
