a little vitamin B...

that's all the house needs

{and us too}

to get back into gear!!

vitamin b in this case being

papa B coming down on two occasions

and working the heck out of husband!

let's see what the power of B + husband can do...

put up all the new doors upstairs...

patch up the ugly stuff...

{yes stucco wall - I'm talking about you!}

put up backsplash...

just to name a few things!

the end result of the power duo looks something like this:

sooooo much space!

you two are animals...

and we like it!!



one, two, three, four...

tell me that you love me more...

{you know the song!}

yay to wrapping up {some} loose ends!

corner cabinet finally arrived!!

hood fan!

what wall? hubby patched the evidence!

pendants {and pot lights} are up!

feels good!

next up - some bigger projects to tackle...



really...

really?!?

we've been M.I.A since November 24?!!

that's scary - 

that's how long we've been in the holiday haze for!

back to reality...

with lots of updates!

first up - counters finally went in...

{husband here cutting out the gable for the faucet}

{a side faucet because this guy was a bit of a fatty and wanted more room!}

 

the corner upper is still waiting for it's door

{what a nightmare these cupboards have been!}

but, we do have all the other, correct doors installed now...

so we're only complaining a little!

and this guy is finally here too...

so nice to have a backdoor again -

now the dog only sometimes runs out of the yard!

time to get out of our relaxing funk

and get back to work!

three months to go to get a functioning house

{well portion of a house anyways!}

here we go...

glory...

oh stove!!! how you were missed!

oh to be able to cook on a stove top again!

oh to be able to make dinner all at once instead of multiple stages!

oh to be able to cook in a pan bigger than 8"x8"!

what a great day!!

here we are...

on the other end of the kitchen floor

tah-dah!! 

{as of saturday}

{uhhhhh...ignore the brackets on the island...not so pretty now but once covered by beautiful marble who will notice?!}

and then...

 {ok so you can't see all of it, but under that cardboard is some awesome hardwood!}

it's been a bit of a slow process...

working our "day" jobs means getting home late...

which means by the time husband gets all the tools ready,

it's dinner time and then bedtime for the babes...

which means no using those tools because hardwood install is loud!!

so weekends only it is!! 

it doesn't help that we started in the most difficult room,

having the most objects to cut around.

{don't worry island, we love you!!}

it only means that now that we're done the kitchen

{I say "we" like I myself did something...it's really all husband on the labour front}

its all open rooms from here!!

so hopefully next weekend we get the bedrooms and living room done!

until then...

we are all going to enjoy the new, proper placement of our fridge and dishwasher!

{don't they look so pretty and proud in their new cubbies?!}
