Apologies for the silence on bellingFAM the past few days… We have been waiting very, very patiently for our new house to close and it finally did at the end of last week, which means we’ve been in a whirlwind of signing papers and DIYing.

If you follow along on Instagram (we’re using #thehouseonfremontstreet there too), you already got a sneak peek into what we’re working on first. Let’s just say that there is a lot of paint and a lot of wood. And three little ones who are (not so) helpful along the way. Not to mention the excessive amount of time that we’ve spent at Lowe’s in the past 72 hours.

But, we’re excited to share our homeowner adventures with you, including all of the projects that I haphazardly pin on Pinterest and then convince Josh to do with me. (ahem, planking the ceilings. cough. cough.)
