Well I am jumping on the DIY blog train and I am excited. I have my baby blog and I wanted to have a way to keep family and friends up to date on all the happenings at our home. I don't like mixing business with pleasure....wait that doesn't apply. I just wanted to keep the blogs separate so that baby lovers and home lovers don't have to mix. If you just want to see home updates you don't have to hear about how Amelia grew a centimeter today...
I am calling the blog The Golden Peach because...can you guess??? We just moved to the Peach State from the Golden State! Our home is a very southern looking home with plenty of charm but I am finding that our decor is staying a little beachy and Golden if you will. We have been having a great time over the last 4 months trying to make this home our own however our progress has been slow. Maybe if I keep a blog it will keep me motivated and get my booty in gear. If you read our other blog I posted pictures here a few months back. We have had a lot of changes and I look forward to catching everyone up with the changes here on The Golden Peach. Below I am gonna show our before pictures again with my list of the basics. Some we have already completed and the lists do not seem to be getting any shorter.
