The work is moving along and there's been a lot of progress, but the promised deadline of July 4th is looming and it's still hard to believe the house will be ready. Baby Winn is due in about 3 (THREE!) weeks and I'm still hoping to be moved in by then. Greg just smirks and doesn't say anything; I think he believes me to be naive:) I'll call it optimistic.
The 2 major projects (the master bathroom remodel and removing of the kitchen/dining room wall) are very close to being finished, but the little things remain. Wiring, painting, carpet cleaning, flooring, painting... And did I mention painting? Very (very!) foolishly I've taken on the responsibility of painting 2 bedrooms, a large living room, and 3 hallways. I'm not sure I was thinking clearly when I committed to that, but I just keep telling myself I have time. After all, I'm ONLY 36 weeks pregnant (oh boy!). Annika is in daycare a couple of days a week so I can get those things done. I've started painting this week and thankfully it hasn't been too painful or time consuming. I think I can, I think I can.
Anyways, here is the little bit of progress ( some iPhone photos ahead...)
The kitchen/dining room transformation will probably be my absolute favorite. Eeek!
We started with this:
And as of now, we are at this:
And the opposite side "before":
And "in progress":
And the master bathroom used to look like this (it was so small, that this was the best shot I could get)
And after the removal of some walls and moving of the door frame, here is the progress:
I started painting Annika's new room. It's the smallest room in the house and it has given me courage that I can do it all even by myself:)
I'm hopeful to see more changes in the house next week, so stay tuned for many more updates:)
Can't wait to have a playdate there when you're done!
