It's mid-August and walking through the house makes me feel like we are just a week or two away from moving in. (I may have even lit a pumpkin spice candle in the kitchen this weekend...Shhhh.)
Admittedly, we took two weekends and five weekdays off in order to catch up with our family out west. Coming back, it's refreshing to see that all that's left is a little paint and polish, trim work and finishing details....in other words, the pretty stuff.
Here's a look at what's been happening for the last couple of weeks:
 |
| Hardwood floors throughout the house got a beautiful coat of stain and three coats of poly. Paul and crew will be adding baseboards and shoe molding this week to wrap up the flooring projects. |
 |
| Right before we left, Paul got all of the tile down in the kitchen and den. There were lots of intricate cuts and back-breaking work but all in all, I'd say they did a hell of a job. Trim work and paint is left in this room and then we'll move on to cabinet hardware. |
 |
| Originally we were going to wait to refinish this bathroom in a couple of months but things changed. We got a great deal on having the tub and wall tiles reglazed, so we went for it. I'm pretty excited about the white in lieu of the pink and grey! Walls also got a new coat of Behr's Pewter Vase.

New Vanity! We were out running errands yesterday and stumbled upon this vanity. For the price, we couldn't resist. Came with the counter and sink already pre-mounted. My dad is building out new birch shelves in the open-concept linen closet, which will be stained to match the new vanity.
 |
| Trim work throughout the rest of the house is being painted. This weekend we got the windows and the picture molding completed in the nursery. That's right, I said nursery. Baby Girl Morris is due to arrive at the end of December 2013. Aren't you glad you read all the way through this blog post? |
