So, I think it's finally time to start posting some pictures of our new house. Well, it isn't exactly new, it was built in 1969, but it is new to us! We had been searching for well over a year following our move to Indiana. We walked into this house and within 10 minutes were ready to write and offer. (When you house hunt for over a year, its not that hard to figure out what you like and what you don't like)
This house was full of potential in our opinion. It's in a great golf course neighborhood. Because of its age, the lots are large and the trees are even larger!
To say this house has a lot of work that needs to be done is an understatement. Although it shows very well in photos..as you will see when I post the before shots, what you can't see is the years of neglect and bad paint jobs!
And so, without further ado...we present to you...our home.
As many of you know, Daniel is a filmmaker. We wanted his room to reflect what he loves. We went for a monochromatic theme. The border was designed and executed by me. Katie and Daniel picked out the 'screen shots' they wanted to include on the film strip, then I printed them off and used spray adhesive to attach them to the white painted 1 x 6 that Mark cut to fit the walls. I then used electrical tape and black car pin-striping tape to create the outline of the 'film'. I painted the 'sprocket holes' by hand. Afterwards I used some spray gloss finish to protect the project.
The headboard is a simple upholstered board. I used letter stencils and white fabric paint to do the letters. Xavious Pictures is Daniel and Katie's production company. The movie posters were created by Daniel. They are from two of his short films.
