I haven’t shared anything house related for awhile. Lame. What kind of DIY blogger am I? Oh yes, one with a job. I remember now.

We are about one weekend (at home) away from finishing up our master bathroom. Hooray for the longest project in history! We maybe should have started this one in the fall and not during the busy Summer months. You live and you don’t learn.

I’m also working on a new blog design. Nothing super fancy. Just cleaner. It will be finished in approximately the year 2099. Look for it.

Part of the new blog design includes taking some updated house tour photos. And maybe a video. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

We snapped some photos of our living room in its current state. Well, its current state with the added benefit of fluffed pillows and couch cushions. Ike is anti-fluff. I’m pretty sure he thinks his job is to smush pillows and cushions. If that’s the case, dude needs a raise.

Without further ado (and more nonsense on my part), here is our living room. One of my favorite rooms in our house!

I also think I need to do an updated post on the evolution of our rooms. Write that down. Remind me.

We have big plans for built-in cabinets and a fancy mantel. We keep talking like that project will happen soon. Which means probably about 2016.

I bought that awesome olive lamp at Goodwill. It was love at first sight. It’s the little things in life.

I asked Nate to photograph some angles that we don’t always show on the blog. It’s hard. The following is called “Your View If You Eat Breakfast With Nate, Ike and Michelle”. I promise bacon will be involved.
