House Progress

Here are some random pictures of the past week. I will eventually put up before-and-after photos of our house, as we finish each room. By the way, there isn't actually one single room in our house that is completely done. Every room needs something...whether it is furniture, windows, major construction, boxes, electricity, etc. Sigh. But in the past week we've made a lot of progress...tearing new things apart and setting new things up, trying to start feeling at home. Right now we only have one working bathroom. :)


Here is our living room, as we started cleaning it out after the kitchen remodel.

This is 'the beach' and also the (temporary) bath...and my huge new restaurant size sink for catering.

Our kitchen....in various states of construction

Still need floors, lighting, something around the windows, a stove and an oven, etc...
Not sure when that will be, but at least we can function.


Labor Day Fun - We tore out the girls bathroom, down to the studs. Ya-hoo!

We didn't know that bathtubs are 60" and bathrooms are 59" so we had to enter through the girls bedroom. Yet more dry wall and dry wall dust. :(

Ellie playing inside the unfinished kitchen pantry. :)


That's chocolate, by the way.

Practicing in their new Halloween costumes.

Your kitchen looks fabulous! I love the black countertops. Your view looks so nice! I think we have the same fridge. The secret to great crown molding: hire it done. ;) Bits and pieces of my frazzled brain right now... keep up the good work!

Natalie, I started crying when I heard Ronnie cutting through the wall between the bathroom and girls room. I couldn't stop crying for a very long time. Your place looks a lot better than ours. Can I come stay with you?
