Hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend! We enjoyed ours working on the house, spending some time on the lake, and a road trip to Sparks Kansas for a huge Flea Market shopping trip! Great fun! And "Deb Fun" is starting at the new house. Spousal Unit has had lots of fun with destruction and construction, but now at least in the Hearthroom/Kitchen we are nearing the finishing work. The sheetrock work is complete and he was able to paint! Spousal Unit also stained trim and finished off the ceiling and window trim. He really is talented and sooooooo enjoys this work.
The paint color we call Tarragon.
Spousal Unit also hung the two chandeliers that will light the kitchen island when it is completed.
We are hoping the island will arrive by the end of the month. The old kitchen cabinets will be cleaned up and dressed up with new hardware. The fence outside is now completed. Spousal Unit received his City Permit for the new garage, and I do believe he would declare that day a permanent Family Holiday to celebrate he was so excited! Next step is to line up the subcontractors.
The stair parts were delayed somewhere in Texs, but are now scheduled to arrive tomorrow. The carpentry crew are just waiting to begin the finish work on the staircase. The Hardwood Floor Crew that were scheduled to begin work today were a no show. Spousal Unit will have to look into that situation tomorrow.
I had purchased a new light for the Hearthroom, but I got outvoted by the family as it just might hand low enough to block the TV viewing from the kitchen. I will probably not use my "Mom Veto" as on second thought, I am thinking I may like a ceiling fan/light combination better. I will need to ponder that situation further, as I do love the new fan/light in the Martini Room that was just installed.
I have had some wonderful volunteers come forward who love to strip wallpaper! Crazy but true! I am very anxious to put them to work in the Martini Room, converting it from a formal dining room to our infamous Martini Room! I am also considering paint color and wall decoration for that room as well. I will find my inspiration soon! Every room has one inspiration, be it a fabric, art piece, furniture or something that starts the decorating ball rolling! This is the remodeling fun I love!
We are planning to have the next REDO sale at the new house prior to us moving there. I do hope to be living in the new house by the end of the month. We are inching ever so close!
Create your own happiness!
Keep smiling!
Deb
