Check, Check, And Check.

Remember that check list I put together in a previous post? No? Ok, let's review.


The checklist stands as so (all-inclusive before and after check list because I know all you really care about are pictures):

• finish the bathroom vanity top
• install the bathroom sink
• paint the trim in the bathroom
• install sconces,towel bar, etc.
• fix hardwood floor in kitchen
• install the last 3 cabinets
• tile the kitchen floor
• have counter top installed
• install appliances

Out of those nine items we have checked off six big ones!  Holy sheet!rock! We have also set a firm goal date of the end of November to be moved into the red hizzy ... or so we hope. The kitchen floor is tiled. As in no longer can you see the horridness that was red tile or green asbestos vinyl tile or rotted sub floor. 

Need I say more?

Lookin' good! 

As you can most obviously see, the new floor is happiness pie and the old floor is sheet on a steek. Ugh. Just looking at that old floor makes me cringe and weep for my back and knees. Six layers of old floor, people. SIX! And no longer do we need a ladder to get from the hallway/dining room into the kitchen due to said six layers. Ok, I'm done. The new happiness floor is tiled with porcelain tiles made to resemble travertine stone, but is about a bajillion times stronger and more durable. These tiles were thick and heavy. I really liked that they have rounded corners and subtle texture. We still have to grout the floor and today may just be that day. 


In bathroom news...Wait. What's that? You want to see more pictures demonstrating how the kitchen looked before we kicked its sorry ass and after? Sure! I'd be happy to oblige. 

Ugh.

Ah. Yea. That seriously is the same kitchen. 

Makes me smile every. single. time. Oh! And you may have or may not have noticed, but the window in the kitchen as been framed (he didn't do it I swear!! It was totally the fridges fault) and painted its one coat of white (to the looney bin that poor framed window goes. All while the fridge is on its rampage). We also painted the kitchen a new color. It's lighter and softer and named Turtle Dove. It's a gray-green and hard to capture its beauty with a camera phone. 

Anyway... some doodads in the bathroom need a do over and yes those are totally a technical terms. For some reason my spidy senses were off a little when planning the bathroom. The fixes are 100% cosmetic and while the manly men are installing the appliances this weekend I will have my way with the bathroom (get your minds out of the gutter thankyouverymuch). I cannot believe Thanksgiving is upon us already. What is everyone doing? Anyone hitting up black friday?
