Update and planning for our first project

Sorry for the long time between posts.  We haven't done too much around the house lately since we were out of town last weekend, but we did make some progress on getting more decor on the walls.  We're still planning to hold off on painting until our one year follow up since we are already getting a few nail pops.  So none of our rooms are really finished, but we did get to a point with the powder rooms where we won't be doing anything else until we paint.  It's hard to get a good angle to really see what they look like since they're so tiny, but here are a couple pictures.

We still need to pick up a couple candles

After we "finished" the powder rooms, we worked on finding a stylish coat hanger for the rec room.  Since we went with the open floor plan rec room and powder room, we didn't get a coat closet, so we wanted a coat hanger that blended with the decor for when it gets colder outside.  We found this great coat hanger by Umbra on Amazon and we're really happy with how it looks in the room.
The coat hanger blends perfectly with our hardwoods
You just pull down the sticks and you have a functioning coat hanger
Speaking of the rec room, we're planning to put in a bar area similar to the one in the model, and we are starting to research companies.  So far we learned that we can't use Ikea cabinets, since we have an angle in the corner of our wall, and they're cabinets can't be altered.  We're going to start reaching out to other companies for quotes over the next couple weeks.  I'll do some additional posts once we get the process started, but for now we put our foosball table in the rec room.
