Pics Pics and More Pics, take 1!

A quick little photo op to whet the appetites for the next one (as I'm going too crazy this week with helping Will out with VBS to sit down long enough to take pics of the whole house and give you the grand tour.) So this will be take #1 of the full grand tour of the new Irwin home...
THE LIVING ROOM...

It all started with a little inspiration and A LOT of friends. After the keys were handed over, I rounded up my best paintin' crew & we got our hands all over those pasty white walls--thank you all of my dear friends for all of your long hours and hard taping prep and painting work. We couldn't have done any of this without your support. And thank you mama for your endless days spent waxing on and waxing off the paint on my walls, literally!...
The living room's inspiration pillows (fabric by Kia, sewing by Nancy-thank you for making the room ladies!)...


The worker bees, where's my mama June? and how does she always conveniently sneak out of the camera's eye?...

Eeewww, that is way to mint chocolate chip green. And the brown in the back is way too dirty diaper goldy brown. Hurry Wendy, lets run to the hardware store while the workers are plentiful...
That just needs a little cover-up, I think the white will work as a great foundation, again...
That's totally what I had envisioned...

The finished product...More to come on take #2...

okay, so...

We know what slackers we have been on the Irwin blogger scene, but I'm actually in Montana visiting my mom's fam and I finally have a few moments to tend to the matter. Will has actually emailed me a few lovely pics of the home to show my fam, but I'm not feeling highly capable of doing the copy-paste job from my email on my aunt's computer to the blogger site. Sorry! But we will have the new and improved house pics on here as soon as I return home to Bunting Court! Just wanted to update you all, those of you who care enough to follow this crazy blog at least, to let you know that we are alive and well and LOVING making our new home (I believe it's everything God made me to be, a homemaker that is) way more than the building of it. I feel like I'm nesting w/o even having a child to nest for! Will's right in his little element out in the yard and I'm right in mine, creating the inner beauty of it all. We will let you see some glimpses early next week! Until then...pray for safe travels for me, heading back westward tomorrow and for Will's ability to live without me! Hahaha!
