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...

or not...

remember this guy...

well, keeping with the true nature of renovations...

he's still with us!

 turns out this guy, is backordered!

so while other people figure out how to get it to us

{worst case scenario is december 5, not that bad}

we keep chipping away at the new floors.

baby room done!

{notice that new window?! but ignore that old fan!}

husband hard at work finishing Gray's big boy room!

{guess our clothes need to find a new home!}

and finally the transition between the kitchen and the living room.

{now the "easy" part of the living room can begin!}

all in all,

can't complain, because we did get this beauty in...

{wait for it....}

tah-dah!!

so worth it!!

{don't worry, we're changing the handles and staining the wood!}
