Kitchen floor and banisters!

Quick update----

Kitchen/foyer floors are in. They are laminate--but individual planks.  Yes, the floors are dirty--but you can see their hidden beauty....and the stair banisters are finally in!  Seems like that took forever.

Countdown til ownership:  11 days.  Amazing.

Friday 10/12...Grandpa Walter became our Grandpa Angel.  We love you--and think of you all the time.  What a very special person--we miss you everyday...but know you are still watching over all of us!

Let the Countdown Begin....

Ok--I know, it has been FOREVER since I last posted. And I am really sorry. Every free minute has been spent hauling kids too and from events, painting furntiure or painting at the new house. Throw in working 40 hours a week, laundry, groceries...well....anyway.

We are closing on the house on Tuesday October 23, at 4pm!
Moving in that week-with the BIG move happening on Saturday October 27.  If anyone wants to help, just let us know. We will feed you and provide beverages of choice!

Today we just found out that our apartment will be rented in November--so we won't have to "eat" rent while we are in the new house!

Now for the photos:
Corner kitchen cabinet with crown molding (all cabinets have the molding)

 Wall color (Wild Honey) with stone fireplace. I love the combination of color!
 
 
 View from foyer into familyroom/dinette
 
 Front of the house--there are still cedar shakes to stain...c'mon painters, get it done!
 
 Fireplace. We are so happy we had the stone go up to the ceiling. We really love it.
 
 Hallway by kitchen--color is Wheat Bread..same in the kitchen and foyer--
the wall just keeps going-. We had a professional painter paint the kitchen and foyer,
but Ann did the rest...Sarah helped as well.
 
 Kitchen sink!
 
View from kitchen window!
 
Driveway and patio will hopefully be in before we close...applicances/carpet in on Monday 10/15-Tuesday 10/16.  Just a lot of wrap up and lots of pieces coming together--calling the phone company, cable, etc....making sure the schools know so that the buses take the kids home (until Sarah has her license--test on 11/14!)
 
Be sure to check my other blog:  www.dirtybutterdesigns.blogspot.com  I am updating that tonight too.
 
What will we do once we are settled in the house...wait...will we ever be settled!
 
Love to you all!!!!
