Another long day is done. Today we got the new wood burning stove in, the hardwood floors have their first coat of sealer on them and more of the property is mowed. I spoke with the Eddie (the drywall guy) and he's coming up tomorrow to check out the house and see how quick he can get the two rooms done (Stella's and the guest bedroom). Hopefully it will be the end of this week or the beginning of next week and then the new carpet and whoa-la, those are checked off the list.
OUT with the old (ewww)....
In with the new. Eventually there will be a new flagstone hearth under this bad boy but for now the tiles will stay.
Me, giving the floors one last wipe down before we started sealing them. The sealer was toxic and I'm a quite lightheaded from sniffing fumes for half the night but at least the first coat is done, only two more to go.
First coat on, and new fire place in.....now only two more coats and some fresh paint on the walls.
Another big project for next week. THE KITCHEN. It's hard to tell from the picture but the walls are (like the rest of the house) Pepto pink and the cabinets have a god-awful faux finish on them. We are going to try and go for a modern French Country with a twist, look in here. It's small so we are going to make it lighter but with a splash of fun colors. If it works out, it will look good, I hope! :)
Last but not least a goofy little picture of Stella and I right before bed time tonight. We both had a long day and my mom was kind enough to take her to swimming tonight while I worked at the house.
Tired BUT happy! :)
