Spackle Time



The walls are up thanks to some help from Jack (thanks Jackie!) and now its time to "mud" the walls together!  

After a night of drying Chase and Kassie helped sand the walls down nice and even and put on a layer of textured primer (thanks Gassaways).  The next day Michael painted the kitchen.  And we still had time for a world cup break!

New Counter Tops!




















Here there are !    
New counter tops!  They are and acrylic solid surface.  We are very happy with the results!

Our Accent Wall




After two paint colors and three coats, whew, the accent wall is finished and perfect.  We decided on an eye catching coral to brighten up our drab living area.  The other wall colors are a sandy brown.  We are both very happy with the results!  Lucy, too!  You could say she was our muse!



Check out Mikey's handy work on our new light fixture!

cabinet party



Thanks for the help Chase, Kassie and Hedda!  We worked into the night and painted the kitchen cabinets a chocolate brown.  And I kid you not when I say chocolate.  During coat number two it started to smell like chocolate!  I've been painting too much.  The gang also put together our dining table.  Perfect seating for pizza and cinnamon cake freshly baked by Hedda!

Kitchen Demolition!!





Michael is my hero!  We spent all day sunday at the house working, working, working.  
I disdainfully cleaned out the giant fridge that was left behind by the previous owner.  (In case you are planning to eat today I will not go into detail the state of said fridge.)
While I scrubbed and cleaned, Michael happily began to take down the tile and countertops in the kitchen.  Lots of pounding and hitting and sheer muscle action later the kitchen was demolished.  Michael even had a little bit of daylight left to rip off some of the damaged sheet rock.  
It was a very productive day!!  

The pic. with Lucy takes place at a pet friendly Lowe's!  

bedroom




The bedroom is coming along great!  Furniture is assembled and put in place, bedding is super comfy (Lucy approved), and the floor, despite its failure, looks really good.  
This weeks project will be to get some wall art up and add some COLOR!  
We are both very happy with the way the design has come to life and can't wait to move in!!!
