Here are some signs that the pieces of the whole really will come together. We really will be able to move in and create a home out of the mess that we made. Really, we will! (writing this is more what I need to hear than anything...)
Testing grout for the bathroom floor tile. This one was too dark.
Patching and priming for a new coat of exterior paint! It sure looks silly right now.
Picking the "happy yellow house" color that I've always wanted. We're going with the middle one.
Only finishing touches, like electrical outlet plates, cabinet doors and hardware remain in the kitchen. We finished tiling the counters & backsplash!
Kitchen cabinet doors drying on wooden boards outside with their fresh coat of paint.
Even the cabinet hardware got a spritz of spraypaint to freshen them up.
A whole pile of 1955 shutters removed from the interior windows. While I love them, they just made the rooms too dark. I'm keeping these for DIY projects though, yay!
And there is more. Lots, lots, lots more. Unfortunately, nothing is 100% finished though, so I'll have to keep you waiting for the real before and after shots. In fact, there is so much more there is an entire website worth of DIY remodeling/decorating content. Hmmmmm? Did someone say "new website"? Stay tuned!
