It's Complete

Wow, I can't believe all that has happened since my last post! Let me first start by saying our bathroom is finally complete and it was finished just in time. As many of you know my husband and I have been remodeling our guest bathroom all on our own. Unfortunately with me being pregnant there was only so much that I could help with. Therefore a lot was left for the hubby to do. I must say that it turned out absolutely beautiful. We worked on this every evening after work and on the weekends for 4 weeks and it was finally completed one hour before we left for the hospital to deliver our baby girl, Kylee. Yes that's right my husband was connecting the plumbing for the sinks as I walked around the house breathing out the contractions. He quickly finished, took a shower and we were off to the hospital. So when I say we finished it just it time I really mean it! In case you forgot what the bathroom used to look like here is a reminder of the "blue" bathroom:

So, here are the finished pictures of our new bathroom, which I love!

Oh course I had to show you the new white toliet since the other one we had was blue.  Yes, we had a blue toliet, 2 blue sinks, and a blue bath tub.  Luckily they are all white now, YEAH!!!

I will save our new bundle of joy for tomorrow's post. In the mean time have a great day!

Where I've been

Yes, I know I've been missing since February but for a very good reason. I'm now 39 weeks pregnant and everything seems to be going fine. However, I'm beginning to wonder what my husband and I were thinking when we decided to start a total remodel of one of the bathrooms about 4 weeks ago! The craziest part is we are doing the remodel ourselves. Don't get me wrong my husband is very handy and I know he can do it but there's just some much else going on. Anyway things are coming along and it looks like everything will be done by Thursday, YEAH!! Here are a few pictures of what the "blue" bathroom looked like before.

Even the little one got right in to help with the demo!


The bathroom is a great size but there is just way too much blue tile!!


Soon we will no longer be bathing in a sea of blue!!



We have been working on this every night after work and on the weekends and I can't wait till it's done. Not that we will get any rest since we have a baby set to arrive in 7 days but it will be complete and so beautiful. Stay tuned for the completed photos to come.

As for baby #2 she is still baking and everything is going great! Only she knows when she will arrive! I'll work on posting photos of the nursery this week!

Have a great Tuesday, we are going to try to stay dry today which looks like a big challenge!

Bye-Bye Wood Paneling!

Things have been a little crazy around our house lately and unfortunately I don't think it is going to get any better for the next month or two. Everyone keeps telling me that it will all be worth it in the end and I do know this is true but, most days its hard to see the end.

My husband and I purchased my Grandfather's Ranch House. This is a great adventure for the two of us and luckily for me my husband, Andy is very handy! We have been doing all the remodeling by ourselves, yes just him and I. Of course my husband still has to work at his regular paying job. Therefore we work on the house in the evenings and all weekend long. I guess you could say that I'm the lucky one being a teacher I have the summer's off. However, I am beginning to wonder if I really am the lucky one in this case. With me being home I am the one who makes numerous trips to the local Home Depot or Lowe's which is a half hour away. I gather the supplies and begin the days project before my husband gets home.

We began our remodel project by taking down the wood paneling in the living room and the bedrooms. This part was easy, I can't believe how nicely it came down. Then came hauling the paneling away and the process of texture the walls.

Next, we moved onto painting the built-ins that are in the living room a nice white. The old style stain was not going to work for me. I love the way they look now, of course we are a long way from being finished, but it is getting there.

Someday, Someday! We will be sitting on our front porch enjoying a nice cold glass of tea and the beautiful view of the foothills. I will keep you posted with more before pictures and hopefully soon the after pictures as well.

Happy Tuesday to you all!
