The lifecycle of a kitchen from one angle

A Finished Kitchen

Well, technically the range hood is still needed, but we are calling it done for now.

Wildlife. . . cont.

The birds don't like my bird seed, but the RATS do!

Hatin' on the Pink

If you ask a 4 year old girl what color she wants her room to be, there is a 99% chance you are going to end up with "Pink!!" as the answer. Shortly after the demo, I started the first paint job - C's room. I have a tendency to jump the gun and not do enough prep work with projects. So, being conscious of this, I wiped down the walls, filled the holes, etc. Things were going well as I painted the first color of pink that would act as the light colored border. Then I taped off the squared and began working on the medium and darker pink colors. Then I peeled off the tape. . .  

So, after about 27 hours of rework, it was done!

The Wildlife

Ben sprayed for spiders. . . here is one that decided to 'hang on.'

This is what we saw 8 am Saturday morning from the master bedroom window. 

So soft. . .

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!
