Tile is Done!!!!

So the tile is done in the boys bathroom and I could not be happier about how it turned out.

I love, love, love it and can't wait for the cabinets to be installed this friday!!!!!

Tim has been working on installing the laminate flooring which has been a tedious task so far.  I am hoping that once he gets the hang of it things will move along quicker.  After that is done we will be installing our sinks and fixtures.  That will also be a learning process.

Nearing the end of the renovation process is such a catch 22.  On one hand, I am so glad that the renovations are almost over, but on the other hand that means we will be moving and have to pack up all of our stuff.  I am not looking forward to the packing part.

Also while all of this is going on I am trying to make Halloween costumes for the entire family.  I will post some pics of the progress later this week.  

Back to sewing for now.

Weekend recap

We had a lot of fun this weekend and we also accomplished many things at the new house.

We had lots of fun at Scarlet's 3rd birthday.

On Sunday I painted the office and on a whim we decided to paint the banister black:

Almost done

 Tim installed ceiling fans in all four rooms upstairs and one hall light.

Love this fan.  This is the same one we have in family room of old house.

All the rooms are now painted except for the pantry and downstairs bathroom (which will be demoed once the rest of the house is finished).

Here is the pantry now:

around the corner

I love the size of the pantry but I think I wanted to make some of the shelves deeper.  They have to be able to hold Costco size Cheerio boxes.

Hopefully this week the boys bath will be tiled and Tim will start installing our floors.
