Picture frame (from Ali) we finally got some pictures in it...now we just have to HANG it!! haha!! Engagement pictures :) 
Mom and Dad Ray got us our Engagement picture framed for Christmas...we are still deciding where to hang it, but we LOVE it!!!!
So we have really been working on getting the house organized and fixed up! We have been working on everything from getting wedding and Christmas presents put away, to painting, to re-organizing the great room. We took New Years weekend as an opportunity to get ahead on it all and have been working on it the past couple weekends as well. Brian and I both had New Years Day and the day after New Years off (last minute, but turned out well). We were able to finish painting and re-doing the trim in the great room area! We also were able to paint the loft wall Navy/Royal Blue! I LOVE IT!! The blue wall is AWESOME! Color is scary but fun. We have neutral tone (almond oil) on the walls in the great room and dining room and we have sanded and painted all the trim Pale Bloom (a not so white, white). It is really coming together! It is so nice to be in that room now. We are excited to move on to the downstairs hallway and bathroom next! Brian is going to make a really awesome bookcase for the loft and we are going to turn it into a small library! We got our idea from Crate and Barrell, but made it better and more to fit our space...plus I know Brian's handy work will be better quality :) We will get pictures of the Navy wall once the bookcase and shelves are done, but here are some pictures of the place!
The great room with Jux snuggled up in front of the fire :)
Recipe Shelf that Mama B made for us!! Perfect fit on our little space of counter by the stove!
The wedding quilt that MamaB made us! It is AMAZING. We are planning on hanging it most likely, but for now it rests on the spare bed. It is BEAUTIFUL!!!
The wine holder that Jessi and Ross got us....we had to try and figure out what it was Christmas day...we didn't do so well, haha!! We have it in use though!!
The lamp that Aric made us for our wedding gift. It is really awesome!! We have in the great room now and are enjoying it every evening. We may move it to the loft in the study/library...but we like it so much in the great room we may not! Anywho..the lamp is great and hand made by Aric. Can't you see the waters of Maui glistening in the light? For those who don't know the wood was found on Maui on Aric's trip and the lamp shade was made to remind us of our experience in Maui. Any time we have a stressful day, we just turn on Maui!!
