STARTING TO GET SETTLED IN!!! PHOTO UPDATE OF MY DECORATING PROGRESS

I'm finally starting to get settled in. With the exception of the den, which will be a small home gym, the first floor is complete. I wasn't able to do any painting and I haven't hung any curtains because I don't have enough window treatments to cover all of the windows yet. We're currently using the Redi Shades that I purchased before hand, but my overall goal is to purchase permanent fabric shades and different curtain variations (valances, roman shades, & drapes). I'm not sure when we will paint so I decided to go ahead and dress the walls. I'm pretty happy with the overall décor....just wish the walls had some color. I did some touch-up painting because we marked-up the hallway walls as we carried the furniture upstairs--it was a little more work that I expected and helped me realize that painting the entire house is a bigger job than I can handle on my own so I'll have to wait until who knows when to get some color :-(  Otherwise, things are going pretty well; I'm hoping to get the upper level finished within the next two weeks. Here are some photos of what the house looks like so far:
