In the midst of everything else, we are painting DD’s room. She will be eleven soon and chose these colors. Aqua blue, bubble gum pink, and a touch of lime green. The woodwork will be glossy white. We have a carpenter building a double decker bed (ceilings are 12′). He hopes to have the bed […]

Genny and I ran to the big city yesterday to look for fabric for the guest room. The walls and ceiling are blue and the hall walls are yellow with a blue ceiling. I’ll post the pics larger than usual, so you can see the prints well. The large floral will be used for curtains. […]

The tile installers have been here all day. I took a few pictures while they were at lunch. The tiles are installed in the downstairs bath, but not yet grouted. Upstairs, they have just started putting down the tile. They will be back tomorrow to work on the third bathroom. I’ll be glad when the […]

The new tile in the bath was grouted yesterday, in the midst of getting our son and his family packed and on the road. The tile guy did a great job. The medicine cabinet goes back up tomorrow. The tile goes around the window, over to the tub. The view out the bathroom window…the trees […]

The new counters were installed in the downstairs bath and the laundry room today. They look beautiful! While the installers were working on the counters (took about five hours), I watched the twins in the kitchen. I worked on drying more parsley, among other things. The counter tops are Caesarstone, a quartz composite. The color […]

The renovation continues. The new floors look great. We are beginning to move some things back into the addition. And even set up the crib in anticipation of our grandbabies being here next week. The towel cupboard is back in the laundry room, but I haven’t restocked the shelves yet. It will be a few […]

Here’s the coat closet after DH took the old floor and subfloor out. But before the new flooring was installed. This was a half bath when we bought the house. A tiny bath in an awkward spot. We made it into a coat closet and it worked much better that way. After the new flooring […]

The flooring guys are finishing the addition floors today, as well as putting hardwood in the front hall coat closet. From the hall, looking into the bedroom… It doesn’t look like it in this picture, but the ceiling of the hall and the wall of the bedroom are actually the same paint color. From bedroom […]

We’ve been painting all day, not to mention all week, trying to get the guest room, the laundry room, and the hall done because the oak floors are being put down tomorrow. It’s amazing how a little color can transform a space and make it feel like home. To achieve the best results, having a […]

Niko came downstairs late last night to check out the paint colors for the laundry room. He’s very curious! So far, he hasn’t picked up any new fur colors. ~~Rhonda ::still painting::
