Well check that off the list! We officially have a bench for our entry thanks to Stefan and Amanda's hard work.

Two coats of paint, some sandpaper and elbow greese and you have this!  The perfect piece to sit next to our new IKEA coat tree. Add a couple baskets underneath and, viola! Entryway storage and seating problem solved.

Other major progress in the living room includes getting curtains of our choosing hung so that we don't look like we are living in our grandmothers' house. After much discussion and a few sketches by yours truly we settled on using tiebacks instead of the existing drapery pulls. Excellent choice Team Yellow House.

Yup, that's Stefan on the couch, working on his latest blog post.

In other parts of the house things are getting settled and beautified as well.  The basement bathroom (Stefan and Katie's) has been painted Tiffany blue to jazz things up at bit in an otherwise neutral and dark room.  Check out that amazing tile though!!























A quick photo tour of the rest of the house for all of those inquiring minds out there.
