Dirty ol' cat

Why do naughty kittens go everywhere they are not supposed to? My can, Berry, decided to roll in a pile of sawdust.


Those are not stripes, it's layers of sawdust. Great job cat.

PAINT!

YEAH!!! Love the color of my new kitchen. We used "Spanish Moss" by Martha Stewart.




In the back room, we used Behr Paint's "Hazelnut Cream." I hate to paint wood, but we painted all the trim white to match the rest of the house. Literally, all the trim in this house is white, inside and out!


Yeah girl!

Sheet rock is up, insulation is in

We are getting there! Feels pretty good to see the walls go back up.




Roark's checkin' it out

It takes a village...


Trucks and trucks

At one point this week, there were four different construction crews at my house. We had our general contractor, the plumbing crew, my dad's electric crew, and the gas-line crew, all working at my house on the same day. So much got done! It feels great to see this thing coming along. At this rate, we'll be done well before the new baby arrives!

Windows! Doors!

Only I could get this excited about some freakin' windows and doors. On Friday, our contractor installed a new bay window in the front, new entry way door, a set of french doors going out to the back yard and two panel picture windows. The amount of light that this lets into the room is amazing.

Starting to look like a real room now...


French doors!
