It’s hard to believe that we actually started this a mere 4- call it 5 weeks ago.  I guess we can chock this up to good planning.  That is something that we knew we could do. It was so hard to be sitting in our apartment, thinking about what we wanted to do to our house.   We will be getting some pictures up here soon, but we are going to move this weekend, so I can’t say for sure when I will get them up.

I know “ What!!! Look at that kitchen; you’re moving in????”  Well we lose the lease on our apt in 12 days, and with thanksgiving looming over our heads, we would prefer to be moved in and then come back and clean. So we are cutting our losses (essentially the kitchen) and moving in.  Still waiting on countertops.. but the kitchen has changed… photos soon.

So When I would have some I would sit down on MS paint… yes…. MS paint, and draw up what we roughly wanted to do with the house. This was a good way for me and my wife to decide on paint colors, light fixtures and placement of little things like outlets and light switches.  You don’t have to be an Interior designer to do this, but if you have the time, it helps down the road with everything. Not to mention you can change and tweak this as much as you need to unlike the real thing.

                 

Here are my crude efforts ( the interior desingers may chuckle...)

If you have the time its worth it to consult ppl who do this for a living, or that creative sibling or siblings in our case but they are very helpful when you get stuck on colors or designs.
