our nest: two years later

Table of Contents

It’s kind of hard for me to believe, but we have been in our house for two years now. It really feels like home, and despite all my frustrations with the yard, I am really falling in love with it.
I felt like it was high time I posted some updated pictures of our little nest for you.
It is really rewarding to look back at these pictures and look at everything we’ve done! We still have quite a few things we’d like to accomplish inside, but we’ve come a long way!
I’ve also included links to some of the major projects in each room.

    It looks like you guys have done some great work!! My fiance has been renovating his house and it has been a crazy process, but it's always fun to look back and see the transformation.

    Y'all have done fantastic work on your house! It takes a while to get everything how you think you'd like it to be. We've been in our house over a year now and we still have projects that we are working on to get the house to feel like our home! 🙂

    Oh, love the living room and bedrooms! We've been in our home for less than 2 years, but have gotten really far on decorating and such! I love decorating so much! It's so fun to turn it into your own space!

    These are great! We went house hunting today. Not in a serious way, but with dreams in mind. Our last home was a fixer upper and we might go that route again. Your pictures definitely inspire me!

    Thanks Tori, it is crazy while it's happening, especially with little kids running underfoot, but it is really satisfying to see everything you've accomplished!

  15. J Young March 6, 2015 at 6:21 am #

    Oh yeah, we still have quite a bit to do, especially on the outside. 🙂

  16. Rachel March 7, 2015 at 10:32 am #

    I really like your new flooring, along with the area rug in the living room, and the pallet wall in the bedroom is sweet! Great job!

    Thanks Kassi, I really love the family room too, I love spending time in there. 🙂

    Thank you Nina, that pallet wall was definitely a labor of love but I think it's my favorite improvement so far!

    Thanks Sonja!

  20. J Young March 8, 2015 at 5:24 am #

    It was a lot of work but we love how it turned out!

  21. J Young March 8, 2015 at 5:25 am #

    The floors have made a HUGE difference and they're so much easier to keep clean with the kids!

  22. J Young March 8, 2015 at 5:27 am #

    It's always fun to go house hunting and day dream a little bit about what you could do to different spaces. 🙂

  23. J Young March 8, 2015 at 5:28 am #

    Thanks so much Rachel, the rug was a great Costco find, we've been really pleased!
