Week 28...progress, progess, progress!!!

Hardwood floors are installed and stained on both floors now...final varnish to be done when all appliances and cabinets..etc are in. This is Roland and Colin in the Mast. Bed Rm

Mastr Bd Rm..that is the green color we choose for the room.

The floors are covered up for protection right now. This is Colin's room..much bigger than photo, but hard to capture on the camera. We had all the window trim's to look like they did before with the traditional rounded sills vs flat square trim all around the window. They look so nice, good decision on Roland's part! It keeps with some of the tradition of the cottage style we used to have and style try to keep.

Nice open hallways finally :)

Huge project and stress aka kitchen cabinets, finally being installed. Already found 3 problems with...not installers fault (little Andy here..love him)- suppliers fault. Wish us luck. The small open squares on top will be glass fronts. This pic offers some good perspective on the overall size of the house. We were serious when we said the house didn't get any bigger, just more open and modern. The kitchen work space is still really small!! :)


Sundeck finally being installed off Master Bd Rm

Poor backyard, looked so pretty last summer :(

Already decided to change the green dining room= no bueno with the gold/yellow color we chose for the living room. We'll paint it the same yellow color and choose another accent color later this summer when we furniture in there. We picked the paint colors out in @ 20 min's with Colin squaking in the cart next to us shoving his mouth full of chicken nuggets at 6:30 at night= not ideal conditions for color coordination :)

We're not joking when we say "the yard needs help", it is really this bad.

Everybody is getting excited about all the progress and idea of actually moving back in soon (note the pretty stones around the door now...acid washed a few weeks ago)

...Even Colin is excited to move back to the "new Hous" as he calls it :)

Week 26

Changed the shingles on the mudroom

New kids bathroom- it's painted green now this is a photo from last week

This is also a photo from last week-kitchen/breakfast area, the walls are painted now and they are putting in a new sub-floor as we speak before they lay down the new hardwood

The second floor is moving very quickly, this photo was taken today- batteries ran out on the camera of course so I only got a few current shots. The hardwood is down, the walls have one coat of paint so far, the trim is all done on doors and windows and looks beautiful. Colin's room is so cute, sad I didn't get a picture. The bathrooms both have tile but still need everything else. Yes the paint is very colorful but we like it. The first yellow room is the nursery, the second blue is Colin's room, and the green room is their shared bathroom. Don't worry our bedroom and downstairs are painted more adult/contemporary colors :) The hallways and stairwell are a warm taupe color-It came out nice.

The nearly completed new room aka nursery. It has the best view of the garden which will be nice. None of the hardwood been stained yet.
