Our new house

Okay here is part 2 of my post today. Since you are reading this first make sure you keep scrolling down to see what happened in June. These are three pics of Nellie leftover from the last post that I like. This was Nellie's first time swinging at the park. She really liked it!
Weeee!
Look at my big girl! Stats on Nell Bell in the next post. Now on to our new condo! We live on the top floor and i have been pleasantly surprised at how quiet it is. The neighbors are super cool and have a brand new baby and I haven't heard a peep from that baby yet. That makes me feel better about all the noise Nellie makes. It's 1237 square feet plus a balcony and a garage. It has three bedrooms and two full baths. Our complex has two pools, exercise room and a fabulous park next door. (that's where nellie was swinging)

We did lots of work (with the help of Jan) to fix up old furniture for our dining room set. We painted these black and reupholstered.
A cute little stool.
Working hard to finish up. Yes we intentionally left the legs brown, in case you were wondering.
Sanding down an end table on the balcony.
We had two chairs like this and on Saturday Cody was sitting on one and it broke in half...YIKES! So now our set is one chair short...boo. Need to hit craigslist and find a chair.

We took the leaf out and haven't pushed it back together until the top coat dries that's why there's an opening in the middle. But here's the finished product!
I have some things to hang on the wall but that will have to wait for right now.
Warning...we are leaving for an 8 day vacation for Florida tomorrow so our house is a disaster when I took these today!
Living room is at least clean! I need something big and fabulous for that wall behind the couch. it's tricky when i am trying to match colors. I am using these two ottomans as our coffee table. they are leather and nice and soft and baby proof. the lids turn over so you can set food and stuff on them. and i use the storage for nellie's toys that she plays with in the living room. That open door is the laundry room. The door next to the recliner goes to the balcony.
Big open hallway.
Guest bathroom. No need to show you ours, it's super messy and I haven't done anything to it. Looks like this only double sinks.

Nellie's room....also messy.

Decorated with stuff from North Africa.
Our front door.
Balcony straight ahead.
View of the mountains from our balcony.

There you have it folks...come visit anytime. Oh by the way I didn't show you our room b/c there's nothing on the walls yet and I am embarrassed by the stacks of clothes i am packing. the accent wall in there is a deep maroon. i'll post pics later of our room, the guest room, and the balcony when it's all set up.

So we fly out tomorrow for Nellie's first trip to the beach. We are going to Fort Walton/Destin beach. We have a family reunion on the 4th. Unfortunately I got a my first visit from Aunt Flo yesterday. 17 fabulous months with no sight of her and then two days before I go on vacation she shows up...ugh!

Now that Nellie eats more solids, I am not surprised but sheesh could the timing be any worse!

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend and I'll be back with our beach pics soon!
