So many things going on.

On May 10th, I posted the following list of things left to do:
- Clean and dry concrete floors.
- Seal concrete floors.
- Install interior doors.
- Install baseboard and door trim.
- Coat all trim with polyurethane.
- Move in.

Since then, the gas & electric have been hooked up, the heat is on, the floor has been cleaned, dried and sealed. The interior doors and baseboard started going in on Wednesday. We are seriously in the homestretch. Looks like we'll be moving in the weekend of June 27th!

Now, if only I had enough time to sew quilt squares, create birthday and thank-you gifts for 5 people, finish the stained glass cabinet doors project, update the blogs, dye & sew curtains, stain and poly the shelves and desktop for the office nook, finish the tile in the bathroom, tile the kitchen backsplash, the master shower, entertainment center countertop and master bathroom vanity countertop, work 30-40 hours per week, care for a 13-month-old and maintain a relationship. Something's gotta give, and it sure as hell ain't gonna be one of the last 3 things I mentioned.

We're moving all of my printing equipment into the garage on Saturday! Hooray! I'll be able to print again on my own press. I am really excited, and I hope this will be the smoothest press moving experience to date.

Here are some little random things that have happened lately:
Adam created the wrap for the front post. It has since been painted by Art. I like it, but it's not exactly what I had envisioned. I'll get used to it.

These are the pendant lights in the kitchen... 2 over the island and one over the sink. I'd love to show you what they look like when they're on, but that switch hasn't been wired in yet. Trust me, they look very different when illuminated. These were handblown by Mirador Glass just for us.

This light and the hall sconces were made for us by Old Town Antique Lighting. They look so good! More pics of these to come...

The floors are finished! They look pretty good, but unfortunately, there's evidence of some spills and dropped tools/wood/something in spots, but that seemed fairly unavoidable. I'm not upset about these--we're bound to add our own "character" to the floors sooner or later.

So, tomorrow the kitchen sink gets delivered and the guys clear out the garage. Saturday, we move in printing stuff. Sunday, the doors will get put on the kitchen/great room cabinets. Monday, the garage door should be installed. (We'll see about that... It's been weeks since they said it would be here.) There's something happening out at the house everyday now, and it's all good.
