Today they put the vanity in the kids bathroom and can I just say … WOW … I absolutely love how it turned out … I was a bit nervous … we went a bit opposite than what we had planned … and it came out great … now we have a wonderful tiled floor and lots of finishing touches and it will be ready for use … it just came out so great … I’ve always had white vanity with white sink top a mirror across the wall … and going with black for the vanity had me a little nervous but I am in love …

Well a bunch of what seems to be small stuff has gotten taken care of … and the completed tasks are actually make a big difference …
First off the laundry room … the floor is all tiled … the windows have been redone … vents put in and best of all the pedestal for the washer and dryer has been installed and shelves behind the door put in … all that is left is a coat of paint and bringing the machines upstairs … if it happens before I give birth I will be so happy … but no matter when it happens I am sure I will shed a tear …

Well they got all the tile laid in the laundry room and started the tile in the bathroom … and I am in LOVE … just absolutely love love love it … and the black tile David went and got for the step up that we had to add is perfect … looks so good and for sure lets you know there is a step up there … I am just totally in love …

So the kitchen is almost there … in the last couple of days the tile has been grouted … the handles have been put on … under counter lights installed and David has worked sooooo hard at putting in padded shelf liners to protect all the shelves and drawers …
The handles look fantastic … they are exactly what we wanted and we found an amazing price online at Knobs Plus … better quality and even cheaper than the ones we were going to get at IKEA … better yet a standard size so we could change them out in the future …
The backsplash all grouted came out beautiful … I just love how it looks and now that the under cabinet lights are installed it is all just beautiful … I don’t think I could love it anymore …
Tomorrow they are doing the last coat on the floor and then no more cardboard down … and by this weekend David will have all his precious shelf protectors in place and we can move our stuff back into the kitchen … everything but the food … we are still waiting on the shelves for the pantry …

Well they grouted the back splash in the kitchen and it is BEAUTIFUL … I just absolutely love how it came out … David picked out a perfect tile and they did an amazing job putting it up … just super … I’m kinda sorry there aren’t walls all the way around that get it … because it is a fantastic touch …

So the guys got all the walls up in the bathroom except for where the shower head is because we need to buy a different fixture before they put the wall up there … next will be some spackleing which means after that we can paint and put in tile and cabinets and a toilet and woohoo have a bathroom … it is a very exciting prospect … and it feels huge even though each time they do something it feels a bit smaller …

Today they worked on the kids bathroom all day … and wow it is coming out great … I’m getting very excited about it … especially since at this point I wouldn’t even fit into the old bathroom anymore …
So today they got the rest of the drywall and cement board in place … they added the small wall next to the toilet so you have a bit of privacy if someone opens the door while you are in there … they framed out and drywalled the shelves in the corner … they added the recessed lighting … and drew out what the medicine cabinets are going to look like in front of the vanity … I’m just loving the room … it is going to be so exciting to see the vanity in place and all the black and white tile …
Like I have said many times before … it hardly feels like our house … it has been years that David and I have been talking about doing this stuff … and it really makes it easy to see us staying here for years and years … till kids are grown … it is just awesome …
