It's all coming together....for the almost Jessup's!


Well, it has been way too long since I have written a blog on our house, wedding, and everything else that we have had going on. I'm sorry!!!! There have been so many changes since the last post, I am probably a month or two away from move in, so that will give me about two months of living there before Jordan moves in, in June!!! Enjoy the pictures of our southern home.


We have railings on our stairs.


Our support beams were boxed in with cedar boards in the living room.


Old living room fire place.

Beams in the living room.
The beams are stained!!!!

Fire places done and beams are stained!!!
They look amazing, especially the fireplace. I'm going to tell you a little story about how we got the fireplaces. Over Christmas, we were in Lowes and we were talking about Jordan doing the fireplaces, we walked by a guy that had mortar mix on a huge cart and thought that he may do fire places. I went and asked, he said sure, he came down the next day and gave use a quote, and five days later we had our fireplaces completed. His name is Jaimes, and we would recommend him for anything!! 
Another view of the living room.
These are our cedar mantles. There was a tree.... Wayyyyyy back at the beginning of the demolition in the front yard, we cut it down, and Jordan made our mantles out of it.

Love these!

Can you tell what our paint color is... Urban Putty.

Jordan works a lot on these floors in the house.
All that's left upstairs is the poly.

Bedroom floor again.
That old floor looks good.

It's amazing how it cleans up, a clear coat of poly still has to go down, but it looks great already.

Here is a before and after.



We are so blessed and excited to see the finish line. We got our cabinets and countertops ordered last week, they should be here towards the beginning of March. We will then get the floors for the kitchen, and work on all things outside. We are getting super excited for the move in date, and even more excited (at least I am) about getting married in four short months. Looking back, we could not have imagined that we would be remodeling a house, planning a wedding, working full time, and Jordan in school part time at 25. I don't think we could add much more to our list, but we like to think that if we can make it through this remodeling, then, we will survive anything. We already feel like our marriage is going to be so very blessed in this house, and we of course could not have done anything without the work of our families who we owe everything to. We love you guys, and can't wait to be The Jessups in our own southern home.


And it's officially in the paper!! Can't wait to get married! Countdown is upon us!!! June 20, 2015!! #joiningthejessups
