Sneak Peak at Bamboo Floors

They might actually be installed this week! The density is amazing. However, the planks are all one size with tongue and grove fitting to have to work around. This might be the biggest flooring challenge Ben has ever dealt with. But they are all delivered, ready to go, and beautiful.

Kitchen and Dining Room Chandeliers

Picking this stuff out is fun yet tough. I hope it all matches and works well together! Martha Stewart has made me anxious. My plan is to only shop from places with a good return policy, because who knows what all this will look like actually installed!

This one is for the kitchen, over the island (2) and another over the breakfast nook.

And I think this is the chandelier I bought for the dining room. I am going all modern, because of the house style, but then I am sort of nautical up above.

                                         

The Front Room is Close!

This weekend, while Ben was stuck in drywall hell, I painted the front room blue. The two different colors, because the shades are soooo close, especially when the paint it wet, made for a couple mistakes from helpers and re-do's. But I was so glad for the help - including from the paint police, aka my husband.

E's Room

I spent 50% of my night last night repainting E's room. I wish I had of gone with the pretty pale yellow that is in her room now. I doodled on her wall, and instead of pretty flowers, it looks more like jelly fish. Blah. Oh well, I'll have to repaint it later.

Fruits of Labor on 4th of July Weekend

Originally I thought we'd be moving in this weekend. It was a hard pill to swallow seeing how much further we have to go. This weeks mantra will be: Be Patient, Be Patient, Be Patient

We are working on the dry wall.
