So I'm trying to force myself to slow down, take a deep breath and just relax and soak up life a bit but then the next day I find myself behind on everything because I didn't do anything the day before and now I have to do double time to catch up. I just don't think life is supposed to be so hurried. I guess thats why vacations are so valuable.
So we are in the final phases of finishing our house. The baseboards, trim, doors and bathroom walls in the basement have yet to be painted, then door knobs, a toilet, and two sinks (one in the renovated bathroom and one in the kitchen) need to be installed. A few light fixtures, and some touch up paint and we will be ready to put our house on the market. We're just about 7 years into renovating our home so when we move, I believe I will take a five year break from painting. :) If all goes "our way" I will get my rear in gear and get the painting done, Aaron will install the major items in the home, we will put our house on the market and it will sell to the first family that looks..."If all goes our way!" :)
Well, here is a few of the latest pictures. I have many more to download from my camera but I'm out of time to do it right now. Until later...~Cath
Looking East with my back to the back door of the basement is the Rec Room where a bedroom once stood.
My Kitchen Cabinets after painting all but one of the doors black.We love how they turned out!
The New Family Room right at the bottom of the stairs.In fact I am standing on the bottom stair as I took this picture.
The south end of the house where a bedroom once stood is now the Rec. Room. The walls and trim still needed a second coat of paint in this picture but has been completed since.
Looking North, away from the Rec room towards the new bedrooms. The bathroom to the right has been renovated so where there is blue wallpaper in
this picture now has wainscoating covering the walls.
The other door on the right is furnace room and new storage room
