Finally moved in

Finally moved into the new place after the painting, tile work and some late night carpet work. As well as an internet and TV install. Our carpet was installed on the 4th before our cinco de mayo move-in. Our awesome carpet installer was working with nailing down floorboards, installing carpets and putting the finishing touches on until 11 pm! But the result was amazing. We are thrilled with our new carpet. The moving was pretty painless too using Fairfax Transfer and Storage. They did a great job, and by the end of cinco de mayo, we were eating chipotle on our couch in our living room. Our new guest bed was delivered Friday and our new pool table on Saturday (boy, was the hubby excited -- about the guest bed of course - haha). My parents came on Saturday - Sunday and helped us with a few other things - including installing molding around our attic pull-down stairs and trimming our large tree out back away from our deck / house. (Thanks parents!) We also installed toilet paper holders in 3 / 4 bathrooms in a brushed nickel finish and 1 hand towel holder (sorry didn't get pictures for step-by-step instructions but it was pretty straightforward). We also hung our pretty pottery barn curtain rod and drapes. Throughout the week, we have been putting stuff away and are now officially all unpacked! Yay! And this past Saturday, we officially handed over our apartment keys and no longer have to worry about renting.

And now some pictures of those beautifully painted room... Unfortunately I only have night shots. I need some daytime ones.

After having seen the results of our painting, we definitely want to paint almost every room in the house. But that may take some time. 

And also, we have a few shots of the almost completed tiling work. We still need some baseboard finishing work, caulking, and the frameless door installation. I am also planning on painting the vanities a deep brown color. Just to add to our lengthening to-do list. Sorry about the shadows. :)
