Cabinet doors - check

Only a few things left until the project is 100% complete. We had a pre-housewarming today with a happy hours for Dan's office. It was fun to have guest over again.

Looking good....better when a shelf is adjusted to fit taller items.

Living room - partial disaster

Yes Mom, we are making progress on the living room - it's just slow.

Paint is almost complete and we're trying to sort through the last 10 boxes. They are the hardest because they are books!

Why rush? We don't have any furniture for this room and won't for awhile! I guess it will be a good place to set up matchbox car races or dancing area.

We have LIGHTS - more of them

At last we have real lights in the upstairs bathroom. We can retire our camping light and check off a few more items from the punch list.


















Stair lighting to guide John's visits at 2:31 am (when we return him to his room)

Living Room - disaster!

This is not pretty - we've created a quarentine area in the LR to try to keep what we *really* need. The rest will head to the front porch for a visit from Craigslist or Goodwill!
















Our dining room is an oasis! Just a few changes made the room 1000% better. While we love our new big spaces (kitchen & gather space) we really love the improvements to our original cozy spaces (DR, loft, upstairs BA, Master BR & BA)


Cabinet hardware
















Still waiting for cabinet doors for the uppers shelves and need the spacing of a few shelves adjusted.

It's amazing how many treasures we had stashed away in our tiny house that want to be FREE!

Upstairs bathroom counter top is in

The extra beautiful piece of marble we wanted was not big enough. This one looks darn good!

Thanks again Dad for funding this bathroom : )















Yes, there will be tile along the back splash area
