Casa Legate

David and I moved into our new place three weeks ago. I really can't believe it has been that long already. We had a few hurdles to jump over right from the get go, as the tenant who lived in our apartment before us didn't move out until the Sunday before we arrived. So needless to say, the place was NOT ready for us when we got there. But we had to return our U-Haul the next morning, so we had unload all of our stuff. 

The kitchen. Oh the kitchen.

This is what it looked like when we walked in for the first time. YIKES.

The living room, not quite as scary as the kitchen

Our bedroom

The guest bedroom

A week and DAYS of bleach scrubbing with Mama Malone later, we finally spent our first night in our new home. We were so blessed to have my parents only 20 minutes away to crash with until our place was livable. This is what our house currently looks like. We still have a few more little projects that we want to tackle. But that will come with time (and paychecks) :).

The kitchen. Oh hey, Sug. 

The living room

Ps. Does anyone have any tricks for getting those shelves that stick straight out of the wall to sit flush against the wall? Call me crazy, but I don't think little pieces of cardboard hanging out from under the shelf screams cottage chic.

Our bedroom

This is where you'll sleep if you come to visit us. It's comfy - I promise :)

And finally, our itty bitty bathroom

So, like I said. Still a work in progress. But it is becoming home :) We love visitors so come visit us!!!
