Stairs to the basement

front room

Carpet in the bathroom? Yep - for a little while anyway. Until bathroom #2 gets finished.

Carpet Guys are Here!

I am sitting in C's closet waiting for the carpet guys to finish putting in the fabulous new carpet. So, while I wait, I figured I'd update here with a couple semi-recent pictures.

Got this from Z Gallery for C's room. I can't go wrong with crystals when it comes to that girl.

Island kind of installed.

The back wall of cabinets are supposed to be a breakfast nook, but I think it might be a good place to hang coats, etc.

I dry-walled that myself. Sweet sanding job if I might say so.

I have a toilet!

Linen Closet Drywalled

The bathroom has been neglected for the most part, but there was some progress made on framing and drywall of the linen closet and hallway coat closet. We've decided to just carpet and install a basic vanity in the master bathroom then come back to the big bathroom after we move in.

Help in an unexpected place

A co-worker/friend of mine, Brian, was kind enough to spend his ENTIRE Saturday at my house painting. Better yet, it was painting the ceiling! I am in debt to him and my nice big brother who also came over.Thank you thank you thank you!

You can't tell from the pics, but the master bedroom paint is done! I kept it really neutral, almost white, probably as a reaction to the pink and purple in the girls rooms.

The Kitchen is Coming Together

In order to make room for the wood floors, Ben and my brother moved some of the cabinets into the kitchen. It was great to get a true idea of the actual layout finally. I've imagined it in my head a thousand times.
