This was the original purpose for going to take these pictures. We had been trying to think of something to put above our mantle for a while and somehow this idea just popped into my head.
Lot's going on this weekend so we will have a few more bloggable items coming your way.
From this...
To this...
We've come a long way. There are still a few loose ends, but we are 95% finished. Check 'em out here.
All cabinets have been installed...
We now await counter tops and I get to bust my back installing a new floor.
It's been a while since our last kitchen update. The next major hurdle in this marathon occurred today. Our cabinets finally arrived. But first a recap of what we have been working on.
We now have shelves...
We also have Waynes Coating (Beadboard)...
Our cabinets arrived promptly at 7:20 AM this morning...
We installed all the wall cabinets and everything looked great...
And then the major buzz kill of the day. The first base cabinet I opened was busted. Fan-freaking-tastic.
I'll have a fun phone call with Kitchen Distributors tomorrow morning. More pictures here.
I'm having another one of those moments where I'm wondering how we are going to get all of this done. Cabinets are T-minus 4 weeks away. More photos here.
I've added a few more photos in the quest to rebuild our kitchen from the rubble.
The biggest development so far has been patching up the two giant cracks/holes in our ceiling.
Actually the electrical wires in the kitchen have been a nightmare too but I think we have those all sorted out now. That wire coming out of the ceiling in the picture above will be for track lighting.
A little more spackle, tape, and sanding and everything should be good to go with the walls and ceiling. Tim "The Toolman" Taylor would be proud of me. The complete set here.
This weekend CM and I worked out getting our living room painted. The upper picture is us working and the lower picture is sort of what the room should like when we are finished with everything.
The whole collection can be found here.
My apologies for the lack of posts recently. Wedding stuff is getting crazy. We are less than two weeks away! I'll have a lot of stuff to post after the wedding, but for now here's another update on our house.
In our master bedroom we have added crown molding, a ceiling fan (all by myself), hung a few pictures, and finished painting. Here are a few before and after pictures of the room.
All the pictures can be found here.
This house thing makes me feel older and older by the second. I'm excited for carpet. But then again I never understood how much carpet cost when I was younger either. Here are some before and after shots...
A few pictures from the Hunt Valley Men's Retreat this weekend.
And our new dining room set arrived today. The cabinet on the left will be gone soon.
Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. We are making great progress on the house. Here are some before and after shots.
Turby help.
It doesn't look like much, but this makes me much happier than the old wood paneling.
And here's the office. All the pictures are here.
So CZ and I are brand new homeowners. It is both exciting and slightly insane, but we are having fun.
This is our progress on priming the wood panel in the downstairs room for the big painting extravaganza on Saturday.
And here is my first romantic candlelit dinner with Sparky. It was almost literally candlelit since there is a cinnamon apple scented candle near the window and a lamp with no shade out of the picture. You can follow all the action by clicking here.
Photos from the house renovations at my parents house. Full set is here. The place looks amazing, my Uncle Carl has done a great job.
