Tays room redo

 Tay's room is almost done. I know I know its taking us forever to do anything!!! But when your a working girl what ya gona do?  I love the ombre effect I got when I painted Tays dresser.  I kept adding white with each drawer I painted.  (missing three handles???? we will find them someday I'm sure)

 Last weekend Bry finally got to putting up all the tin roofing we had in the garage, on Tays wall.  It looks so cool.  I have some huge bolts and screw heads that I will drill in this weekend.  I can't wait to finish it.  He has already found my magnets and is wanting to put up his masterpieces. 

 

I have the cutest fabric for pillows and curtains but Tay is whining about having curtains.  "they are too girly"  he says.  Even though they are gray.  I will just have to do it on the sly and hope he learns to live with them.. Hee Hee

 

This is his chalk board wall.  I love how it turned out. although he is only allowed to color in the recessed part of the board.  I don't want it to look too messy.  and I did buy the greatest paper to cover the magazine holders for his desk, a project for another day.  Like I said a work in progress but i do see the light at the end of his little tunnel. 

We are in!!!

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.
