We are only six days away from move in and if you saw the house you would be freaking out for me. :-) Everything is coming together, but it seems like for every project we finish we find two other projects we haven't started or that still need a lot of work. We've been at the house for almost twelve hours today and could keep going if we didn't need sleep and food. I've almost finished ...

We've spent the entire weekend installing the kitchen cabinets. It is one of the last big hurdles to moving day and since we are getting our stuff in EIGHT DAYS we need to get it finished. Of course installing cabinets in an old house where nothing is level or square is challenging. We are currently on day two and a half and still working on it.

I'm pretty darn tired (so forgive my typos- I'll edit in the morning ;-)). We just got home about thirty minutes ago from working on the house and I wanted to get our progress written down before I forgot.

Then I would paint over it with my pure white Annie Sloan, then ...

While this is a bit more expensive than contact paper ($0.69 per tile vs $5 for a roll of contact paper) on a cabinet with lots of water damage I think the tiles will hold up better. It took me less than 10 minutes to install the ...

The floor installers started installing the carpet today. The bedrooms finally look like real rooms! Boy's room. Girl's room. Here's a sneak peek of the wood floors. The will go down tomorrow. I cannot wait to see them in the house! We replaced the two ceiling lights in the hall and it literally took ALL DAY! Because the lights in the hall were original, the new fixtures ...
