Entry Door
Friday, July 30, 2010
A good sanding, a few coats of primer/paint, and some new clear knobs/pulls, and I think I may just have myself a bathroom vanity. :-)

We also got our front door put in this weekend. I really like it compared to the one that was there before and this one gives us a little more privacy, while still letting some light in. I think we're going to stain it a real dark color. Here again, we still have tons to do in the front. The columns still need to be painted, rails replaced, siding put up(hopefully SOON), and some bushes. This may sound silly, but I can't wait to hang some big ol' ferns up and plant some flowers. I guess that's a girl for ya.
Even though we still have a ways to go, the picture I had in my head of how I wanted things to look is definitely coming together!!
We are hoping (fingers crossed) that our first inspection goes smooth and we can start sheetrock within the upcoming weeks! We are trying to stay optimistic and know that this house will be well worth the hard work in the end. This house holds so many special memories for me as a child, has so much sweat, tears, and blood(yes blood) poured into it over the past year, and will be our home where so many more memories will be made in the future........As I've said a million times, I'm not sure I could ever put a price on this house.
Hopefully we'll have more updates SOON! : )

SNOW DAY!
Sunday, Meg and I did some more priming while Joseph and Nick worked on framing in the closets and window seat in one of the bedrooms. Here is a picture of their work...
On either side of the window there will be a closet. Above each closet we'll put shelves for extra storage. In the middle Joseph built a window seat. He'll build drawers into the seat for more storage. {you can never have too much storage space}.

And The Work Goes On
This is the kitchen ceiling before
I never got a picture of the finished product. Hopefully I can start painting the beadboard this week and I'll get a picture then.
That's all for now. There's not much to see or visualize until we get the walls up. We have been working on our light fixture order so hopefully we can get those ordered soon.
