LIGHTS!!

Ok...I'm a genius!! My lighting is looking FABULOUS!!






Short one light bulb but other than that it is perfect.



This is my kitchen counter-height bar. It will have 2 corbels on either side of the inset box. They came yesterday and they are gorgeous!

Coming together!

The closets are done with the exception of the baseboards.

Entrance to Jim's closet.

Hanging all the way to the back.

Shelving and wire drawers in the corner.

More drawers and Jim's favorite thing...his dirty clothes wire basket.

Jaci's closet...what girl could resist a jewelry box built in to the closet!! Fabulous!! Velvet lines with dividers. A mirror will go over the drawers. Shelves will be perfect for the purses!

Nice hanging and clothes drawers with corner shelves.

More hanging. A sewing table will go in the corner that folds out to 70+ inches and more shelving over the workspace.



Move over Imelda...check out my shoe rack!!

It's definitely not finished yet...but slowly...very slowly getting there. This is from the foyer.



I love the way the hallway looks now with the colors on the wall and the white doors.

Massive dining room walls (the spots are just the lighting or camera defect). This wall was a little overwhelming at first. Probably the one thing that had me doubting the color choice. But once it dried and I spent some time in the room...I love it!!

Living room looking back into the kitchen pass-thru.

The living room with the darker accent wall.

Looking into the kitchen from the dining room. Still waiting on the bar cabinet. The paint color looks a little off in the pics. Definitely not this yellow, it is gold, but not as yellow as the kitchen pics portray. The living room and hall are more indicative of the tones in the paint.

We Got Walls!!

It seemed like nothing was getting done for about a month and then all of a sudden it's all coming together relatively quickly. Electrical was finally to a point that the insulation and drywall could be done. Insulation was done Tuesday. Wednesday the sheetrock was put up on the new living room walls and ceiling and the bathroom walls. Thursday morning they knocked down the wall between the old and the new including the fireplace facade. Today they worked on finishing some electrical. Tomorrow morning the sheetrock crew will be back to finish the transition wall between old and new and start taping and floating. Tonight we are going to Mom's for the first time since the remodel. It is just too messing and too hard to keep it cool with just the one AC unit working. The new AC won't be turned on until the sheetrock is finished so that it is completely sealed and to avoid sucking the dust into the system.

New garage door location. The one closest to the cabinets will be sheetrocked tomorrow and used to hold new cabinets.

View into my closet. It turns to the right which is the second view. Sort of hard to photograph. Jim's is the same size it just doesn't have the big turn at the end. His has an area 16" deep and 6 feet wide for shelving.

Stay tuned...more to come soon...I hope.
