					<description><![CDATA[Happy hump day everyone! So here we are day two of the 2 year recap. If you missed yesterday&#8217;s post, the Allen fam is celebrating the two year anniversary of buying our first house, to celebrate, we&#8217;re looking back at how far the place has come in the first two years. Today I bring you updates of the 2nd floor bedrooms, and both the back and front porch. Below you will see Gus&#8217; (aka Gus the Bus) room. It started out as a mess with brownish-yellow walls and ended the brightest, sunniest, coziest, quaintest little room in the whole house. Gus&#8217; Nursery We painted the walls grey, and replaced the light fixture. I sewed those zig zag grommet curtains myself, they are totally the best. I lined them with blackout material &#8211; best advice I could give any mom. Dark equals naps, equals many good things. We used Finn&#8217;s old Oeuf crib, and purchased a Malm dresser and Expedit shelf (now window bench) at Ikea. We also added rocker legs to the Eames arm chair, and hung some artwork for the little dude. Finn&#8217;s Room In Finn&#8217;s room I originally had the bright idea of painting it orange (bad idea.) It quickly turned from orange to green and we love it this way. Finn is one lucky little kid, his room is huge, he has two closets, and plenty of play space. We made one half of the room a toy/art/reading area and the other half is his sleeping zone. Poor Gus has a mini room in comparison, I&#8217;m not sure how we&#8217;ll make that one fair down the road. Our bedroom This is our room, the least touched room (besides the bathrooms) in the whole house. This is the room I ordered all that paint for. That far wall will be black and the rest of the room will be white (can&#8217;t wait). For this two year tour I will let you know that we replace the old owners furniture for our own (that&#8217;s supposed to be funny), and added bookshelves. So, this concludes the bedroom part of the tour onward to the porches &#8212;-> 4 Season Back Porch Look at Finn in the above photo! What a little guy. The upstairs porch is right off our &#8220;master&#8221; bedroom, we love it. Porches for us are like en suite baths, or walk-in closets for normal people. We are the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Woah! So all of a sudden it’s been two years since we moved into this bad boy. Holy geez, time flies. It was just a mere two years ago today that Jeff and I were packing up our tiny rental house and making the short haul down 38th street to our new place. I’m not sure if I had ever been so excited for anything in my whole life. It was a huge deal for us, as it is for most people who buy their first house. Like so many others, we had been hurt by the weak housing market. We bought our first condo in 2004 and the height of the market and then sold it for a loss in 2008. As 20-somethings it was a hard hit and took us a few years to recover. In November 2009 we found our home during an inspired open house visit. We weren’t exactly ready to buy at the time, but once we saw this place we knew we needed that front porch in our lives. We quickly got all our ducks in a row and got an offer submitted. On March 5th we closed and on March 6 we were moving in! In honor of our first two years I thought I’d put together a little recap to highlight all the work we’ve done on the place. The entry way into the living room. We really haven’t made a ton of major improvements (“major” meaning, like, tearing down walls). It’s all been paint and furnishings. We’ve painted almost every square inch of the place which instantly made the place better. The walls previously were all painted a not-so-nice off-white probably called “cigarette yellow”. The place was looking really sad and worn out when we first walked through. I’d like to think we gave new life to a 100 year old home; actually I’m pretty certain we did, duh. We painted the entry way a light, light grey, and the living room a teal blue. We bought a new rug, put rocker legs on our Eames chair and purchased a new coffee table. The Living Room Ahhhhhh, the living room was such a mess before! Full of oversized ugly furniture, and a rug that was way too huge for the space. It was easy to make the room look bigger just by not overcrowding it. We did get all handy and [&#8230;]]]></description>
