The Floors are Coming TODAY!!!

Later this morning, they are going to be bringing the floors!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I'm going to have to take pictures. The floors have to stay in the house a few days before they can put them down so that the acclimate to the climate of the house. BUT, You'll be able to see it and I want to share!

We finished the trim yesterday!! Another WOOOO!! It took us five days solid to get it done. Two coats in oil paint. Man! But it looks pretty. We're not quite finished with that room because I am striping one wall. HA! You didn't know that did ya?? It's going to be in the khaki, the brown of the trim, a deeeeep orange color called Cedar Chest and a thin stripe of Organic Green! It will match this chair really well:


We're striping on the wall where you first come into the room, that way you don't see it when you are looking in, but it will accent the room once you are in it. It's going to take a little time, but I think it will look yummy!!

We still have to put in the counter tops, new fridge, etc. and finish some of the wallpaper (we ran out, boo!) But here is a before and after of the kitchen: (hold on to your hats!!)

BEFORE:



AFTER!!!!!



Okay, I'm off again! Have a Happy Friday!!! ~Pinky!
