Moving On

I wish we were moving IN, but we are just moving on with a little more progress. 

The painters are pretty much done; they will come back after floors are in, and do the baseboards, touch ups, and paint the dining room. There is still outside painting to be done also. 

A lady that lives here does some glazing, striping, or any other kind of special paint job that you want. 

So, she did the girls bathroom glazed, and she did these glossy stripes in Kylee's room. I like how they turned out! 

And she is also going to do horizontal stripes in the kids playroom! Excited to see that finished!! 

They delivered lights and fans!!

And they put them up!!!

The tile guys are here working too!! I would be excited, but it is just going so slow! They are trying to finish the master shower and Jaxon's shower, and start on the master tub. 

There's just a long way to go on the floors..... That being said they did deliver the floor tile!!

COLOR!! and More

This IS the paint color! Yikes! I wanted to throw up when I first saw it. I didn't like it. It's called Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter. Supposed to be the "perfect greige". It just looked all brown.... 

But, I went back the next day, and I liked it better. It's starting to look more gray to me. This is the main color in the house.

The pictures show Maggie's room, the mud entry area, the hallway, and Jason's desk area, all the same color. 

The dining room, craft room, kids bathrooms, Kylee's room, and laundry room  have a different color. The painting should ALL be done this week, and then next week they can start outside. 

Below is the laundry room; the cabinets are painted a lite gray, and will have a glaze put on them! 

The girls bathroom got a glaze on their cabinets. I was nervous about this, but I like it, more and more! 

And yesterday, they installed the laminate in the craft room and the laundry room.  The pictures are bad, but the lighting is so bad in places in the house its hard to get good pictures. 

Septic

The septic guys came late Monday, and finished the whole job Tuesday mid-morning. So, I've decided septic tanks are no big deal, if you know what you are doing. 

They dug some big holes, and put two tanks down and laid this huge pipe out from the house. The kids, immediately, get in the BIG hole!!

Yay, for one more thing being checked off the list! 

Painted Trim and More

The painters are "nearly" completely done with ceilings, the door casings, crown molding, the cabinets are painted, and all the closets in the house. 

With that being said, there is still some brush work that is going to have to be done around some of the door casing because of the routed edge on the molding.

It's taking a long time. But I guess I need to lighten up. They have to cover and tape everything before they start the next, and they are doing a really good job, so I guess that's good. 

But, hopefully this week, we will start seeing some colors on the WALLS!!

My Craft Room! 

And, the outside is looking cleaned up. Supposed to be getting the septic system put in tomorrow!

Slow Progress

I should be used to slow progress by now, but I'm not! At least it's progress, but still. Looks like we might be in the middle of February..... 

The doors were the first thing they starting staining. Those are completely done with the 3 coats of finish on them. 

Then they started staining cabinets, and now those are all done with the 3 coats of finish on them.

Now, they are spraying the ceilings, crown molding, baseboards, closet shelves, and painted cabinets with the white trim color. I'm guessing that will take a few days though, and then they will paint walls, maybe next week.....

And a better picture of the island....my favorite thing in the whole house!

Progress

We've pretty much finished trim. The closets are done too.  

The dining room trim all done. 

And the island is looking closer to being done, just a couple more things. 

The new thing this week is they have started tiling the showers, and will probably finish that in a day. 

Girls Bathroom

Master Shower

Jaxon's/Guest Bathroom

They delivered our kitchen tile as well, and Jason laid them out in the pattern. Think I like it!!  

There are boxes everywhere of toilets, sinks, and faucets!

The paint guy has been prepping this week!! Which means there is one guy with a caulk gun caulking every little thing in the whole house. He's come for 3 days, and he's only done 2 rooms. Y'all, slow as Christmas. They are going to have to actually get a crew going instead of one guy! Anyways, we've picked out paint colors, and stain colors for doors and cabinets, so they say next week they will start. We'll see, but that sure might start changing the looks around here!

Cabinets and Trim

About a month ago we started with some "renderings" of the cabinets. 

Stared at them for a couple days, thinking and hoping something would jump out at us, if we needed to change anything, decided to make a few changes, and then gave it a go. 

The cabinets are in, for the most part!  

We are still missing a bathroom vanity, and a few cabinet fronts, and the island is here, but not nailed down, or finished completely.  

The Entertainment Center is HUGE! I'm a little worried, but no one else is, so I guess it's fine! And the fireplace is pretty much done too! For that matter, the rock people are sweeping and loading there materials up as we type. Glad they are done because that's been the biggest, white powdery mess!

Trim and doors are also going in! Closet shelves are going in as well!
