Another Work Day

Today I joined Andrew at the house for a full work day since Gordon and Cheri were visiting all day and watched the kids for us. What a big help! We got quite a bit done at the house today and I like being able to go there without the kids every so often so I can actually take my time checking out all of the things that have been finished during the week. Much easier without the two little men :).

Our place is really coming along! Look at all that has been done this week...

The new appliances arrived today. We also got a dishwasher that Andrew needs to install. I don't know what I will do with all of this refrigerator space since I have gotten used to maneuvering whatever food we have there into a college-sized fridge these past two months :).

And the painting and reattaching of the moulding continues. Several rooms are now complete and we love the colors we have selected. It seriously looks like a different house with a fresh coat of paint.

Here are the study and the playroom, both painted in the same green color and both to soon be carpeted.

Study (this formerly led into the hall bathroom but that doorway was filled in):

Playroom (with a closeup of the new half wall and custom moulding Andrew created at the top of the stairs:

The master bathroom has the first coat of paint on and the master suite will be painted this week so we should have photos of those soon. It's hard to really tell the color in this picture, but it is a light tan and really brightens up this bathroom that used to be dark chocolate brown. Andrew and his dad are going to pick up our vanities for the two upstairs bathrooms tomorrow so this room will really start to come together over the next few days.

The family room, painted in a dark sage green color with our newly finished floors. We highlighted the moulding on the walls with the trim color; it used to be the wall color and just blended in. This room is complete.

The sunroom is just about finished; Andrew finished the rest of the moulding today so that is all that still needs to be painted. The walls are finished and are a yellowish green color, perfect for such a sunny spot.

Finally, the utility/craft room in Segovia Red. We opted for this shade of red to get the creative juices flowing and keep it a fun room. We love it! For those of you who have been to our current house, the color reminds me a lot of the one we have in our basement. Next up for this room is to reattach the moulding, install the cabinets and counter top, then the tile floor. I cannot wait to start using this room!

And finally, how funny is this picture? I was complaining that I wasn't taking any people shots so Andrew peeked his head around the corner while I snapped pictures. He looks like a Colorform to me, almost as if I just superimposed his head onto this photo. Ha ha!
