We are home, and it's cold outside. I turned the heat on it's so cold outside.
But I'm in love. I love it. The fact that I'm staring at a kitchen that we designed, my old sketches incarnate, and it's getting countertops tomorrow. It's kind of unreal. Remodeling is exhilarating. It's like a big puzzle and you're recutting the pieces. You're presented with riddle after riddle and constantly working toward creative solutions.
Caught in the act:
Most every piece of the house is still in progress - Jacob is painting the last of the cabinetry as I type this - so you'll have to wait for official before and afters and until then soak up the glimpses, like this one of the floor.
Good job on the grout! I think we'll have to redo our shower sooner than we thought (pretty sure there's mold behind it-ugh!) and I'm hoping we go the subway tile route... As long as the husband doesn't insist on dark grout, that is!
ReplyDeleteAhh, I'm so glad you guys are settled and all together again and that you get to be a part of the renovations now. Can't wait to see more!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the floors and those tiles! You need to come here and help me fix up my place lol I don't ever seem to get it right the first time.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rachel! I feel you! We've got so many cooks in the kitchen over here, it takes like five iterations before we move forward!
DeleteThat tile!! What a process you're going through. Wow. Can't wait to see more. Kiss those sweeties for me--and totally all about the train track.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this is soooo fun. I'm living vicariously. Keep doing this.
ReplyDeleteAh, that floor! And, you tiled! Yay! I'm so happy for you and your house-moon! I feel like I'm still on mine and we haven't done any updating. Still so happy for you all. Continued prayers!
ReplyDeleteNoooooooooo, I need moaaaaaaaar! More pictures. More waxing poetic. More gems like "died and moved to Chugington."
ReplyDeleteAlso, maybe you've helped me finally understand why I luv to fix me a house up- a real life puzzle with seven thousand variables and once it's done, nobody undoes it. Wow. It's like an epiphany. You are basically my therapist, okay?
love it!! Can't wait to see more! And we live right by a train too and I actually love it....the sounds in the middle of the night have come to be pretty comforting :)
ReplyDeleteYay for trains! I seriously can't believe how much I enjoy it!
DeleteSo exciting! We live about two blocks from train tracks and it was the highlight of my boys' younger years. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteThe train runs right behind our house too! My husband thought of it as a perk because his childhood house (which his dad still lives in) is right be the train too. Its the highlight for kids when we host parties and the only time it wakes the boys up is when they are in that half-awake stage early in the morning...I'll take it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so insanely jealous and cannot WAIT for before and afters!!!

ReplyDeleteNice work, nice work.
