Final Countdown

I think this is the only appropriate background music for this post...

We are less than 100 days from the wedding. Ahhhhhh! How did that even happen? When I started this blog the countdown was close to 300 days and the wedding seemed so unbelievably far away. Now, in three short months Ron and I will say "I do". :-) But before walking down the aisle to become his "Mrs" we have quite a few things left to do...

This weekend I'm moving into OUR new place. I just love saying that! :-) Ron won't officially move in until right before the wedding but we are moving 90% of his stuff with mine this weekend. Luckily we've done a really great job of going through all of our belongings and either throwing things away, setting them aside for a garage sale or finding a use for it in the new place. We've both lived on our own for quite a while and have accumulated A LOT of furniture and random knick knacks. We don't want to clutter the new place with a lot of random furniture but at the same time we don't want to get rid of pieces that mean something to us. So how do we make that work - lots and lots of DIY projects of course. :-) We are going to paint and re-purpose quite a few pieces of furniture to fit our new life together and the new color scheme of our place.

Speaking of color scheme, we painted the new place last weekend and it looks fabulous. We went with yellow, beige and shades of grey (not quite 50 but still exciting....haha, get it!). And for kicks we painted a chalkboard wall in the kitchen. I've got big plans for that wall including a master to-do list for the wedding. Woot woot!

Finished chalkboard wall. More pictures to come once furniture is moved in.

One of the perks of our new place is the large entryway. Instead of a simple painted wall, I thought it would be fun to add some stripes and make it a very welcoming space. Here's a quick preview of what we did.

We used a laser to make taping and measuring a lot easier.

Painting went very quickly once the tape was in place.

And Voila! Our fun entry wall. More pics to come once a
bench is in place and pictures are hung. 

I'll post more before and after photos once we are all moved in, furniture is in place and our pictures are hung. So, hopefully by next week. :-) I'm kind of crazy when it comes to unpacking and getting things settled so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we can get our place in order fairly quickly because once that is done, it is back to wedding planning. YAY!!!

Only 98 days to go.....

Let's do this!!!!!!!!
