House Updates

It has been a long time since I shared a Home Update.

I haven't shared much the last few months...because there has not been much to share.

Updating our home takes time and money - enough said! Ha!

But today's the day you get a few updates....

FYI - my pics are mostly taken at night and I did not have the best light!

First, our floor.

It is finally finished! 

We had a few hiccups while laying the floor - but this past week Nik finished!

Now onto baseboards and quarter round. Still lots to do...but it's coming along!

Next, the Dining Room.

It is close to finished...

I would like to eventually hang blinds, paint the ceiling and purchase a buffet.

But I can live without those for awhile :)

I don't have a good "before picture" - 

but here is a picture after we pulled up the carpet and laid new flooring:

The next step was to paint all the trim and walls. 

I painted the trim white and the walls the same gray as the living room.

Fresh and clean!

Next, I needed to do something about the glass in this very random cabinet on our wall.

I love the storage of the cabinet (deep) but it just seems random to me.

What I didn't love is that you could see inside...and my "storage" was not pretty.

So I decided to frost the glass.

For my first time ever frosting anything, I think it turned out good!

I finally found some curtains I liked (after a few tries) and hung them to finish off the space.

And here is the picture of the back wall (where I want the buffet to go).

That’s all for now.

Our next project will be to trim out the living room windows and hang blinds.

Stay tuned!
