Living Room

These are the curtains that my grandma let us use to hang up in the living room. It is nice to have something covering the window. That way not everyone and their brother can look into our house. We haven't done anything to the actual room yet. This is one of the stupid rooms that has wall paper on the walls that we plan to take off this summer. Why do people put paper on the walls? To cause people head aches later?


Here is how we have the rest of the living room set up. Not amazing but it is alright. :)

Update

So things have been continued to be busy. I was hoping to be able to update this daily but apparently that just can't happen. It reminds me of every year since I was about 10 on New Years I made the resolution that I would keep a journal and the longest I think that has lasted without me missing a day was about 4-5 days. Pathetic! Oh well. I have decided that I'm not going to give up and I will continue to post.... Is my life really interesting enough to post something every single day? lol probably not. Mason and I have continued to work on the house. We have all the rooms painted with the exception of the dinning room/hallway, and living room. We haven't completely decided what we want to do in the dining room so therefore we can't decided what to do in the hallway because it is kinda connected to the dining room. We have some wallpaper in the living room that will need to come down but we won't work on that until this summer. So for now our house is coming together besides those minor things. I'm excited. There is still so much to unpack. Life is good though. I'm so happy with Mason. I'm glad we finally have our own house! :) Pictures coming soon... Promise!

Jack Jack

So yesterday I got to watch Jack. He was sick and I didn't have class so it all worked out. He was a blast. I got to here the phrase "where did it go" all day long. he cracks me up. We decided to take some pictures to pass the time... here they are.

All that hard work at taking pictures tuckered him out. Nap time.

It has been a while

Sorry it has been so long since I have put up a post. Last Saturday was the Flea Market. My dad decided that he was going to help us move so we took the help on Saturday after being at the flea market from 6-5 we decided to move furniture to our new house. I was thinking ok so we will just move the couches and call it a night. We were all tired after all, however we ended up moving the bed and the dresser as well plus some boxes. That was our first night staying in the house. It was very different. I didn't really feel like I was at 'home'. Sunday we moved the rest of our stuff but didn't have a chance to unpack it all. Now our house is a mess. This past week I had spring break but ended up working in Indianapolis most of the week so I didn't really have a chance to unpack. Needless to say. I still have a messy house. But on the possitive side. We are moved into our house :)
Here are a few new pictures:This is Mason and Sammy. Sammy is on his way to see the new house for the first time.
Sammy had to check out every square inch of the house.
This is the corner in the spare bedroom. Here is the pillow that inspired the painting in the room. it is bold but we like it.Here is a picture of the amazing floor that Brooke put in! Thanks Brooke.

Yesterday

So I don't have new pictures today like I had hoped. We went over to the house yesterday and touched up all the paint in the master bedroom. Sammy our dog got to to see the house yesterday. I think he likes it. We also moved the spare bed and the dresser that goes with that bedroom suite. Which it's nice to get some furniture in the house. This weekend we have the Country Time Flea Market at the Muncie Fair Grounds. So that kinda takes out all of Saturday and part of Friday for setting up. So I don't see a lot of work getting done on the house this weekend. Maybe we will find some motivation on Sunday. We will see. I do have spring break next week. Which I'm looking forward to. Most of it will be spend on the house :). I just want it to be done. However, all things come in time right?

House on Redwood

Someone seems interested in renting the house on Redwood! This would be great because then we can just pay one mortgage payment instead of rent and mortgage for the month of April! I'm very excited about this. The guy has already looked at the duplex and now wants to contact our landlord. I'm praying that everything goes well!

"The Fulton"

I realize that our blog says 'thefulton' instead of The Fultons. This is because someone with the last name of Fulton took the title The Fulton's and they haven't even updated their blog since 2004. Ugh. So it isn't because I forgot the S or the fact that I don't understand the English language. It is because that name was already taken. I just wanted to make that clear.

Our New House

On February 13, 2009 Mason and I bought a new house! It is very exciting. It needs a little work but we got a good deal on it. Now it is time to repair.

This is our new refrigerator we just got for our kitchen. (not the best picture quality, taken with a camera phone) I'm excited because now we have all the appliances we need! We painted the kitchen a light yellow which really brightens it up. I can't wait to get things done and get moved into my new house!







This is the smallest of the 3 bathrooms in the house. Josh and Brooke (Mason's sister and brother-in-law) came down to help us make some repairs for the house. Brooke put in this new flooring. She did an awesome job. It looks tons better than the flooring with the roses that was there before! The first picture is a before.. the next one it s 'during' I will post an 'after picture' soon. We haven't finished painting yet all we have is primer on the walls.








At the end of our hallway there was just a dead end that served no purpose so Josh build us a closet to put towels and such in. I will post the finish project soon.








This is Mason working hard at getting the painting done for the washer and dryer room! Good job Mason!
