SNOW DAY!

This past Friday Joseph and I took some time off work to head to Columbia to pick things out for the house. We still have a while untill we'll need a lot of stuff but we wanted to go ahead and pick out some things so we'll have an idea on what things cost, etc... Our trip got cut short because of the snow though and then we got stuck in traffic for forever it seemed.

We had plans to work at the house Saturday untill we woke up to SNOW! We decided that we'd take a snow day to play. Here is the house all covered in snow! :-)

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 past weekend we got a good bit done on the house. Saturday mom and I had a 'not so successful' yard sale...then again, are they ever?! We had a few big items that came out of the house (oven, etc) that we wanted to try to sell just to get them out of the way. While mom and I were basically just watching our breath out in the freezing cold, Joseph took some time to tidy up around the house. After lunch, Joseph's mom and sister came over and we started priming ceilings...

Sunday, Joseph's mom and I continued to prime. We only have 2 rooms left! Joseph and his Uncle Mike put up the beadboard ceiling in the kitchen. It didn't work out exactly how we wanted, but we'll make it work. I've come to learn that renovating an older home is ALL about revisions!

Here are a few pictures of all our hard work....

Almost done....

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.

Happy Birthday MaMa!!
