BEDS!!!!



The carpet we purchased on Friday night has been put to its intended use already. Darian's room and our room now have carpet. Since the carpet is down, we could move furniture out, so we did. Michel and his dad moved our bed and Darian's bed out yesterday and we got them set up in time to sleep in them last night. Dillon's room still needs the carpet laid in it and then we can bring his bed out, but it might not be for a couple more weeks. We've got to get some other projects finished first. In the meantime, he'll be able to sleep on his mattress on the floor in Darian's room.

May I Present..........



MY NEW COUCH!!!!!!!!!

It was delivered this morning and we got the hardwood finished up to the fireplace this evening. We've also got carpet down in Darian's room and will be putting his room together tomorrow, so I'll post pictures of that then.

Hardwood Sampling




Last night Michel and I worked on laying the hardwood flooring in our hallway and in front of the front door/stairs. Here's a sampling of the hardwood itself and what it looks like with piece of baseboard against it in the living room and the hallway.

A Year Ago Today...

Well, the picture above was taken a year ago today. Can you believe it? We started building our new house a year ago! A year ago!!!!! We've made a lot of progress in the past year considering we've done most of the interior work ourselves, but there's still quite a bit to be do. We have two more rooms to paint (master bath and my scrapbook room), windows to stain and varnish, interior doors to purchase, stain, and varnish, finish laying the hardwood flooring (which is what I should be in there doing......), carpet, and vinyl in the closets. All of the tile is down and grouted, except for the master bath since we haven't painted it yet.








Pictures: Laundry room, the boys' bathroom (fully functional except it's lacking a sink and a door), Dillon's room, Master bedroom, and Eli testing the coolness of the hardwood in the dining room.
