The painters finished today and the house looks amazing. I didn't have them paint three of the bathrooms. One isn't getting painted right now and the other two I'm doing a very inexpensive upgrade so I wanted to paint it myself. I also went to two tile places, as well as Home Depot and Lowes trying to find tile for our half bath. I don't think I'm a picky person, but I cannot seem to find ...

I went against my self imposed Lowe's ban and spent the morning looking for ceiling fans. I ordered the kids' fans on Amazon, but I wanted to see how the paint colors looked in the house before I bought the fans for the living and family rooms. Before we headed to Lowes I stopped by the house to measure the hinges we are replacing. This is how we take notes. A picture of the item, ...

I'm so excited! We have color!!! I went over to the house this afternoon to see how much progress had been made on the painting and I was excited to see most of the house painted. I cannot believe how much different it looks and it still has concrete floors! Well I can believe it because I'm a huge believer in changing a room with paint, but to finally see it in this house feels ...

We can't go in the house until tomorrow night because the painter doesn't want us to kick up dust while the primer is drying, so not much happened this weekend. I did go by the house yesterday while everything was being primed. The doors and built-ins are so white and beautiful. I can't wait to see them when they are done. There isn't a ton we can do until the painting is finished, so it was ...

Today I did not work on the house at all. The painters arrived and DH worked on taking down more lights and trying to get as much construction debris in the garbage can so the trash guys would take it and we only have to make one run to the dump ./. Today was a good day to take a break because I'm still super sore from yesterday. I did something to my hand and I have a three inch bruise ...

Thanks so much for your bathroom recommendations! You all are awesome! I've made notes from all your ideas and will be using lots of them. I also got a light fixture off a Facebook swap group earlier today so I'm excited to start putting the house back together. The past two days have been crazy. It feels like we have nothing to do on the house and then we have tons of stuff to do all at ...
