Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the best dad, baby daddy, and Father in Law ever!!  We all enjoyed some afternoon Mimosa's at our local winery Satori (it's walking distance....perfect!)

It was too hot today to work on the house so instead  Keegan and Daddy took a break.

Keegan gets a "Big Boy" bed!

Keegan got a big biy bed today! Hopefully he will sleep in it. My next purchase is a bed rail.....have you seen my kid sleep? Yeah, a bed rail is a necessity.

Daddy's Little Helper

Keegan helping daddy with the old master bathroom demo.

Can't wait to get all the stinky debris out. Yuck!

Moving Weekend!!!!!!!!!!!

Our home is liveable, not done, but liveable..ha! We're moving in! I'm kinda sad to be leaving Brian's parents house but excited to move in at the same time! It's been months of non stop work (especially for Brian) to get it to this point. We can't thank Brian's parents enough for letting us live with and for all their help around here!

Keegz Room

Working on Keegan's room today. Painting his ceilings and starting his mural.....

My Favorite Room!

The walk in closet!

Brian building my custom designed closet!(with a little section for him ha!) Complete with special spots for my long dresses and tall boots! Best man ever!

True Love!

Carpets!

Getting our carpets installed today!

That was another thing that was hard to pick out. Brian ended up getting a good deal on a particular color from his carpet guy at work which made the decision a little easier.

The final product! It's so soft!

All new trim around the windows and closet too!

The New Paint Sprayer

Had to splurge on a new paint sprayer, this thing is going to come in handy with all the painting that needs to be done, inside and out.


Brian sprayed the doors so we can finish hanging them. What a difference the sprayer makes!

hmmm, what color?

 Sexy!

Door Day!

This is how we spent our St. Paddy's Day........

Putting doors in!

This is how I feel about doing doors today.

 



Some of the crown molding going up too.

Bring on the Animals!!

One of the perks of buying this house is there was already a chicken coop in the yard! I've wanted chickens forever and now no one can say "we have no room" "where you gonna put em". I just have to try and talk Brian into helping me bring this run down coop back to life.

Then maybe I can get this little one, that I've been wanting for the past year and a half! Ugh!!!!

And then after that I am going to work on Brian for a Mini Cow....

And a Mini Donkey!!.....

And

And

Ha!



Floors!!!!!!

We get to start laying floors today! Now it will start looking like a house! So far everything is going smoothly.....knock on wood!

 

Ahhh! Now to pick out paint for the interior. I thought picking out floors was hard! Too many to choose from.

I decided to go to Restoration Hardware ( my favorite!) and choose between their paint colors to make it easy. The only problem is.....I love them all! But I think I can dwindle it down to a few. Then I need to decide what walls to paint what color....hmmm.

 Some of the progress.......

The corner of the hallway that my brother and Brian knocked out and angled. My brother's awesome idea! It made a HUGE difference!

We had a hard time figuring out what to do with this room after knocking a wall out. We decided to do a pony wall and soffit. It's going to look awesome with the light illuminating off the ceiling!

 Kitchen wall knocked out... BAM! opened it up a lot!

Rooms all textured, sanded, and primered. Ready for can lights and paint!

Closet was moved to the opposite side to accommodate the master bath shower on the other side!

Office door widened to put in some nice french doors and really open it up.

Who knew picking out floors would be so overwhelming! So many colors, finishes, styles, and prices! After a week and a half of picking up samples, comparing them, putting them in different lights, blah blah, we agreed on one!

It already looks sooooo much better!!!! Brian has been working his a$$ off! Working 40 hours at his regular job then going straight to the house and working until sometimes 10pm, and right back there all weekend. We love him soo much!

Now we're getting to the fun stuff, picking out floors and paint colors!!

Gettin' Down & Dirty!

Ah yeah, it's demo time!!!! Here are a few pics of the first 3 weeks. A whole lotta knocking things down, tearing things apart, dump runs, and cleaning mass amounts of nicotine tar ciggy funk off of EVERYTHING! We are so thankful for everyone that has given their time to help us, we truly appreciate it!

Helping daddy close up one of the two closets in the master and make the bathroom bigger.

  Mary Ann helping clean the gunk off the windows. All the windows in the house were yellow/brown with drips of tar from smoking in the house. Yucko!!!! We went through 3 bottles of Zep (which is the miracle juice) just cleaning the windows in the house! They look good as new!

  Painting primer on the Master walls and floors, it already looks 20 times better! Brian thinks it's funny to take a pic with my gas mask on, I think it's horrendous......we'll just leave this pic small.

  Got Wood? Jeffrey L. helpin' out.

This was one of the small closets in the master that got knocked out to make the bathroom bigger. Don't worry cause we made the other closet a walk in (duh!)

Good ol' popcorn ceiling! Buh bye.

  Brian opening up the doors to the soon to be office and making them french doors, gonna look awesome! Thanks mom for the idea.

My Brother and Chuck moving the closet around in the hall room to make changes in the master bath.

  Alex doing our Old World texture! Can't wait to see the final product!

Elizabeth helping primer. She loves having her pic taken! Ha!

Sorry folks! Our lovely Mural is gone. I know it would of made a great photo backdrop but Elizabeth couldn't contain herself.

Thanks guys for all your help! P.S. Greggy was here too but he was probably in the attic doing electrical.
