Man, oh man. I am so behind. The last two weeks or so have flown by again, and I wish I had blogged more and taken more pictures.
It's crunch time for me at work - our busiest time of year, with the exception of Christmas - so I've been working a lot and not been able to visit the house and work on it much. Here's an abridged list of what has gone on recently:
- The plaster is done. Thank goodness! It really does look good, though.
- The ceiling is complete and it looks really nice. (Pics below.)
- Painting in the bathrooms and kid/guest bedrooms continues.
- Trim is being put up around the interior windows.
- Interior doors have been ordered.
- Cabinets have been ordered and the boxes may arrive sometime this coming week.
- Appliances have been delivered and await cabinets for installation.
- We found a set of 2 teak chairs and matching table at an estate sale and ate our first meal out on our deck last Wednesday night. It was heaven until the fog rolled in and nearly froze us.
- Tile has been ordered for the two bathrooms. Some serious design changes have happened there due to budget constraints, but it'll still look good.
- Exterior paint has been purchased and Art will start on that soon, if he hasn't already.
I'm sure there are other things to tell, but I just can't think of them at the moment. Here are those pics:
Ava's still on the job and should be walking around on her own, barking orders, before too long.
This is the ceiling in the dormer window in the living room. We are so thankful for Art and all the work he puts in around our house, even when he may not agree with our choices. :)
This is the ceiling in the master bedroom. It's going to be such a calming and cozy space, I can't wait to wake up on our first morning in that house, in that room, knowing that we're in our "forever house." (Let's attribute that quote to Mike D. Thanks!)
