ByeBye Astroturf

I have been dying to tear up this horrible astroturf on our front porch!! I was planning on making it my personal mission to get this terrible stuff out of my sight! So, last night I talked Joseph into checking out the situation to see what all I would need to make this stuff disappear!

(here is a picture of our lovely astroturf)

After checking things out and about 20 minutes later THIS is what we had! TA-DA!!! GONE!!! It ripped right up! Who knew anything in/around that house would actually be simple?!? Well, it was simple to me because I just watched but it looked pretty simple for Joseph too. :-)

After a good cleaning, we'll paint it gray, I think.....

Ceilings...

It's been a while since I've updated so I wanted to share a few things we've, well mainly Joseph, been working on. All of the ceilings are up and here is the start to our coffered ceiling in the living room.

I couldn't leave this picture of Meg out. The girls are always fishing for something to do so Meg got the guts up to work the BIG saw, haha. We actually got some things done because of her courage to work that thing! Thanks for all your help Meg! :-)

Flooring

Here is the flooring we found that will go throughout most of the house! {this is not our actual kitchen...just a picture of the flooring}
