House Updates

Week Uno 

(July 24th - July 30th)

(Kate hearts the house big time even at Drywall stage)

Oh yeah baby, all of the drywall is done and dusted - literally.  Surprisingly, the 'crib' feels larger now.  The ceilings are also all done which gives way to a really sweet echo when you walk around or laugh hysterically - cause I do that often.  We went with the knock-down texture on the ceilings throughout except for the kitchen, breakfast nook and great room.  In those spaces, we decided on a flat finish which was unfortunately also the most expensive, but we knew that it would be worth it.  

We've also finished priming the walls of the entire house and I gotta say it looks totally stark so painting will be the next thing on my 'to do' list.  I'm not sure what colours we're going with yet but I'm feeling strongly about pink.  Pink or rose mauve.  We've also got all of the imperfections perfectly picked out for the filler guys to come in and fill all of the dents and then sand them down.  

Nate is finally done building the cabinets for the bathrooms and the kitchen (wicked job babe), and those will be going in tomorrow.  At this rate, we should be outta Mom and Dad's in no time.  Not that it hasn't be fab, but it's time to move out...again...for a third time.

A really funny discovery is that both my hairdresser and my future trainer are living on the same street as Nate and I.  That hopefully means that I'll have a bunch of really good hair days, but sadly I won't be able to keep junk food in the house cause the trainer lives NEXT DOOR!!!   So, in the future if you see me eating Licorice on the rooftop outside, you'll know why.  haha!  Also, totally kidding about the Pink.

By the way, this is way easier than renovating a sail boat.
