We are trying to balance working on the house with a little summer fun! It's nice to be able to take it a little easier as we have more hours in the day. Here is the latest update!
Chris saved us $127 dollars by hooking up the dishwasher, $109 dollars by installing the over the stove microwave, and $75 by installing the garbage disposal! He's pretty handy to have around! Here he is figuring out the dishwasher...
At this point we were still living like this...
He also put in all new lights! Here is the breakfast nook pendent light...
Cleaning out the pantry:
Sometimes little helpers are required!
I pre-painted all the base and 1/4 round
Due to the plumbing pipe (that we found when we demo'ed the cabinet soffit) Chris had to cut out this wall cabinet to fit. We like to think of it as "custom"! HA!
Wiring more lights...this is the track lighting in the kitchen!
Only we would live like this...
Stocking the pantry...we painted added trim and 1/4 round...clearly we still have to sand and paint the door!
and added clear, bumpy shelf paper for a clean look...
Do I spy some granite! Let's all get ready to sing...
track lighting in kitchen...
We liked how the track lighting favored the pendent lighting...
Chris also changed out all of the plumbing under the sink! This may or may not but def. did require 4 trips to Lowes!
You know you are in a remodel when things like, "Charley that is not playdough it's plumber's putty" comes out of your mouth!
Sam and Charley taking down the wallpaper in the half bath! Let's talk about how there is 3 different layers!
Cueing chorus.....
We plan on doing a backsplash at some point but since we had the paint out we went ahead and painted it! Did you spy Elli photo bombing!
Sitting room.
We are going to use the same stone for the fireplace as we had in our old house!
The sink was actually an accident. We thought we were getting a basic two bowl sink and we ended up with one big one! We ended up loving it and keeping it!
We still have to hide the plumbing above the window...we will get to that eventually! We are just super pumped to have running water!
Our accident sink came with these cool accessories...a cutting board that sits in...
and a colander! We actually have used both far! It also came with a little sink base you can rest right in the big sink!
See how the hardwood doesn't go all the way to the fireplace. That was in anticipation of the stone.
The little things take FOREVER! Like all new base and 1/4 round! Chris has to measure and make all the cuts twice! It's a long process!
We are down to some little things! We would like to have the half bath and dining room done this week!
