Floors!

We finally decided on a floor stain and here are the results. One more final coat of polyurethane and they’re done. We debated it for a while but the natural variation got us in the end.

Sneak Peek: Cabinets!

Just a sneak peek of the cabinets.  They’re finishing up the install today and countertops will be in late next week.

Kitchen Island:

lovely, just lovely

the floors are down, the shower tile is in and the paint is 80% finished!  i’ll have pics of the paint soon.  took these pics early last week, so behind on my picture snapping.  you’ll notice that the floors are thin slats which adds a little uniqueness to the floor.  it matches the original and what is still in two of the bedrooms.  they will be stained next week, and we’re still debating on color!

only a few weeks of work left!  it’s flown by and seems like we still have quite a bit of little things to do, but they’re coming together quickly.  hoping to get a bit of landscaping done before we get in as well.

when i was grocery shopping yesterday, i got super excited about soon having our own kitchen and place to make our own.  we look forward to having everyone over for dinner, bible studies, game nights and movie nights as well!  we want it to be a place of rest and love and life!

we have been so blessed to stay with such a beautiful family (inside and out!) since june.  their generosity and kindness is to be admired.  it has been such a great situation and we will miss them very much!

ha, it’s going to be like christmas after opening our storage unit!  will have forgotten about half of the stuff in there.  i guess it’s a great lesson for how little we actually “need.”

anywho, will post more pics soon!

Where the new floor meets old flooring!

First signs of paint. The cream color will be a turquoise color!

Chocolate brown glazed tiles in the shower. Gray tiles on the floor.

Serious discussion happening here. 🙂

Did someone call the plumber? electrician? drywall guy? oh and the…. ?

wowzer, it’s been a quick process!  and yes, I did just say “wowzer.”

so, right now, we’re finished with the bulk of the projects!  the floors are going in today, the trim guy will be there tomorrow and then the rest is waiting on the kitchen/bathroom cabinets and paint.

Here is a medley of photos from the process.  walls knocked out, new drywall, new bathtub, floors ripped up, door being repaired and on and on.  we’re enjoying seeing it come together more and more each day!
