House Update

It's time for a house update!  You, my reader friends, are in the same position as I am in and cannot see the progress in person at our new house.  Brian and his dad spent the weekend painting (his dad has spent the last 2 weeks painting!) and Gregory got some more work done on the kitchen cabinets.  Meanwhile, Rick's work is looking great in the bathroom!  And now, I'll take you on a tour...

 Here's our "guest" bedroom.  The walls and the closet have been painted.  Next up?  Painting closet doors and putting new baseboards up and getting new carpet installed.  You may recall this room as the blue and blue room from my original "before pics" post.  Our furniture for this room is white (Brian's furniture refinishing project from March) and the bedding is white, blue, green and teal so I think it will look great!

 Gregory hung the kitchen cabinets in the garage to spray them with a paint spray gun - they are looking crisp!  Can't wait until they're hung up and the kitchen is all done.

 Here is our entry way - with a fresh coat of "oatbran" paint.  It "only" took 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint to cover up the lovely green puce mustard color (I think).  Now, we have a much brighter hallway and a more neutral color.  Some of you may say neutral = boring, but I like neutral.

 Here's our nursery - it's coming along.  I love the green color.  Can't wait to see it in person.  The closet doors still need paint and of course, the room will get new baseboards and carpet, too.

Here's a sneak peak at our new master bath shower.  It's so nice!!!  This is replacing an old cultured marble tub/shower combo and we had lights put in too so it's nice and bright.  Can't wait to see the finished product - maybe this weekend?

 So there is the "short" photo tour.  Can't wait to show you all the finished product!

In other house news, our carpet came in!  So, I've scheduled tile and grout cleaning for next Tuesday, carpet installation for next Thursday, and house cleaning for next Friday!  Hoping to get the washer and dryer and fridge installed maybe Wednesday after the tile is cleaned.  We are well on our way!  Speaking of fridge, my parents surprised us with offering to buy us a new fridge as a house warming gift!  Woohoo!  Now we don't need to make sad faces at the old, nasty fridge that we were going to have to deal with for a while.  After substantial research, I think we're going to go with this Frigidaire model:
