No Rest for the Cheery

Family Den (basement level)

Guestroom (basement level)

Kitchen

The Trash Pile (when it was a lot smaller)

Yep, we've been happily workin' very hard on our house these past few weeks. What a job, but what a transformation! Can't wait to show y'all the befores and afters! It's thrilling to watch it come together and to dig in and get messy investing in our home. We've worked non-stop and it's finally showing. The carpet went in Friday and that was the "finishing freshening" that the place so sorely needed. We moved in our stuff today (Sunday), will work some more and unpack this week, then move our bodies in next weekend. Nice to take it easier with the move. Not as chaotic as a typical one. (I would know, it's our 5th in 3 years!) Thank you Delages and Derrick darlings for letting us bum another week! Thanks too to all our helpers! Couldn't do it without you!

Patch vac-ing those spiders. (we had a large nest hatch. yipe!)

  3. What a GREAT house! It makes it so special that you got to "personalize" it through all that hard work. I wish I could see it in person.

    Love you!
