Scott took a couple days off work so we could hit the project list hard and I am wiped out. Really, too tired to even blog but I thought I could share a few pictures.
Gutted kitchen and removed existing tile. The only cabinets we left were the ones around the stove vent because we figured we'll just paint around those instead of disconnecting the vent. Someday the kitchen will be completely remodeled, but for now it is getting just a minor face lift with new flooring, paint, and clean up.
Installing the entry tile. It was purchased from Lowe's and is a high definition printed porcelain. It has a border of small square tiles that runs around all sides except the stairs.
Moved the bed and bookshelves into our youngest daughter's room. Still need to buy curtains, blinds, bedding, etc. for her. We also put together bookshelves for the other daughter's room and both girls spent time this weekend trying to put away the stuff they packed up months ago when we listed our house.
We painted 3 closests (pantry, linen, and master bedroom) and installed hardware in the pantry and master bedroom closets. I want to pick up a couple more baskets and we'll add some sort of shoe storage on the wall you can't see on the right. I will start loading these up once the flooring is done.
The hardwood in the living room! I love it!!! It is a Rapid Loc Vintage Hickory. Sort of an engineered hardwood (hardwood top over substrate). It has a lot of character and the color is perfect. This entire room is done now. Next come the hall and the kitchen.
Almost as if to welcome us into the new home- the first flower of spring arrived yesterday. I think yellow crocus must mean happiness and luck live here. I'm sure of it. :)
