Happenings

Tons of improvement has happened at the house since my last update.  Again, so darn busy and way behind...sorry!  First of all, we have walls again and I have to say, it feels good.  Our addition is complete and the deck is halfway done.  The "bump out" (as we call it), although only about an extra 100 square feet, makes the BIGGEST difference in our kitchen.  In addition to walls, hardwood floors are all in, cabinets are in, the exterior got a fresh coat of paint and trim and tile has been started.  Here are several pictures documenting the progress:

We made a last minute decision to also finish part of our 3rd floor unfinished attic space.  This will be my new office and I am VERY excited about it...can't wait for it to come together!

Walls, trim and windows!

Okay, it is the little things in life.  Our old lazy Susan was plastic and I really wanted a wooden one.  When I opened this cabinet to discover this beauty, I admit, I let out a squeal like a 12 year old at a Justin Bieber concert :)

Marble Hexagon shower floor---Can you say excited?

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Madeline's new bathroom cabinets and tile...might have to move in to her room with her!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!  If you have read this blog before you know we are looking at this life changing situation as a positive thing and Thanksgiving was a great opportunity to reflect on all of our blessings.  In a way, it is so comforting and peaceful to know with all of this craziness happening, we will still look back on 2012 very fondly and as these details are coming together with our house, it makes us even more excited to go home.
