busy, busy, busy, busy....

So I know it has been forever, but we have been so busy lately that I haven't had much time to actually sit down and write! Most of the work we have been doing has been on the house, and I can't believe how different it looks!

I am really, really proud of Chris and all that he knows how to do, and I can't believe this is our house anymore! We repainted the living room, hallway, and entryway, added crown moulding to the master bathroom and everywhere but the kitchen and bedrooms, put in new lighting in the hall and entry, added a new ceiling fan in the living room, new baseboards everywhere, added new doors and hardware in the whole house, painted all of the trim white, bought new living room furniture, and..... I think that's it! Oh, wait - we also finished the backyard/patio area. We did all of this in just over a month. Of course, we have a lot more to do, but what we've accomplished in the past few weeks has made the house look like new, instead of like we were living in the 60's.

In addition to all of the work on the house, I've been also working like crazy on getting my business started. I had been trying to decide on a name for the longest time, and it took Chris all of 5 minutes to come up with the name I decided on: Du Coeur. It means 'From the Heart', and it couldn't be more perfect! I've also set up a business email address, so if anyone wants to order anything or ask questions, email me at ducoeurdesigns@gmail.com. I am so excited to get more established, and I also can't wait for my first official order to come in!

Well I think after all of the work we did this weekend, I am pooped and need to just relax. I will hopefully be updating more often from now on, and I can't wait to share more of what's been going on in our lives! Have a great week, everyone!
