Because we can!


So, in the recent weeks and days we have gotten to know the current owners of our new home, Josh and Lisa! They invited us over for dinner to show us how things work, and give us tips and tricks about the house that they have discovered! WHO DOES THAT?! We were honestly floored at how kind and generous this couple is! What a blessing to have met people like that! The dinner went great, and we talked for hours! It was weird having our first dinner in the house that we will soon have many meals & memories in! Josh & Lisa are amazing people and shared so many great things about the house that I would have never thought to even ask!
We imposed ourselves again tonight, to measure the windows and stove area so that we can get a head start on the shopping! I figure the little time I do have, I can start making curtains for the house. This idea stemmed from Lisa when she had said that she had always intended putting curtains up but never got to it. I would be the same way because curtains would be so miniscule when preparing a house! Anyways, because we can, we measured the windows and I already scoped out and bought the rods! Above is a picture of what we got! Anyone who is looking for window hardware JCPenneys is having a great sale- these were 50 percent off!! Also, If anyone has any curtain fabric ideas, I would love to hear! We have pale yellow leather couches and the walls will be a blue-purple color. ( Josh and Lisa have an ashy color - you can see it in the pictures) and I love the grey but we will go a little brighter :) - also notice the blue carpet, although I'm pretty much ignoring that! haha! JoAnns- I'm coming for you tomorrow!
This is probably what the next few weeks will be like- me finding something we absolutely NEED in the house that we aren't in yet! :) because we can!
