Its been three months of renovating, painting and stress but we are
finally in our new home. Yes yes yes I know we are no where near done
with the renovating, painting and stress but we are living at our new
address. I don't know why this is so hard for me. I love to have a
project going, the problem is I'm soooo busy with all my other jobs I
can't seem to get unpacked and finish this house!!!
Bry
says be patient, ok I will how ever I can not be patient with
everything strew from here to New York. If I could just put a few
things away I would be so happy.
I
painted the cabinet doors cream and took out the rock back splash
behind the stove. As you can see we don't have the tile put in yet nor
do we have a working hood at the moment. the hood I want is 1,200$ and
needless to say that is not going to happen. Bry is going to make a
cute cover for the hood and trim it out with a drop hood, when I do not
know as his to do list is a mile long.
The
island is also going to be ripped out next summer it does not have an
over hang for the bar stools and it only seats three very uncomfortably
so we will make a larger one that will seat five and be bigger to
utilize the space.(and when i say we I mean Bry)
The
laundry room is one of my favs so far, however its far from complete
but it so much more open. We knocked out the closet from my office and
will be putting in cabinets and a folding table. For now I have two
little armories from Ikea that I just painted white that will work till I
can get the real thing. Also waiting on a little sink for the corner
of the room, its plumbed but again the $$$ thing.
I
know I know it still has the tape on from painting it black. I'm not
quite finished. I bought a high gloss paint and started painting away
because that whats I did with my door at the other house. Well this
door is so old and there is no over hang to keep the weather off of
it???? so it was flaking like crazy so I'm going to have to do the final
coat in a mat finish to hide all the imperfections.
Last
but not least is my family room again the rock???? (not a fan) we took
out the rock and arch and just dry walled a fireplace in. Again not
finished, the tile is picked out the mantle is number 14 on brys to do
list so spring maybe??? but for know it looks ok, just need to clean up
a bit still trying to find spots to put things in.
