Painting Prep

The cabinets are trimmed out now! The painters have been caulking all of the trim and putting down paper in preparation for painting.
Rollie wants to know if it's time to move yet!

(Thanks Teresa, we love the raccoon!)

Robin's Remodel

There has been some major remodeling going on over at Robin's house. Walls knocked down, floors raised, new windows and siding, new flooring, new paint, and some really cool new stained glass lights. And the centerpiece of the remodel is the fireplace. Isn't it gorgeous?

Look how BIG her living/family room is now! And there's Scout & Jules enjoying the new digs!
No blog post about Robin's house would be complete without pictures of her backyard oasis. So peaceful and relaxing!

And yes...it's true...she does talk to her plants; it's that constant praise and encouragement she gives them that makes them grow so lush!

Superstars

Superstar Lucas after a full weekend of weddings and graduation parties! And the superstar trim carpenter is doing some wonderful things at the house. Including shelves for the linen closets,


bedroom closets,

window trim and baseboards (we love the tall baseboards),

and more fantastic trim in the living room and the new back door that is the correct size!

Vanities of all shapes & sizes

The trim carpenter has installed all of the vanities.

This one is the guest bathroom.

His!
Hers!

Lotsa Lights!

Last week when we were out at the house I made a list of lights that we needed to pick up. There were 50 items on that list! Kind of a daunting task at first, but I'm happy to report that we've selected and purchased all of the ceiling fans including the two for the back porch, most of the lights, all of the bathroom vanities and tops and mirrors. We're in the home stretch now; remaining items to pick out are can lights, carpet, bathroom exhaust fan/light combos, toilets, window blinds and a doorbell! WOW, we're getting close to being finished!

Bobby calls this "Lowes Lawrence!"

And the Celebration(s) Continue

Josh & Susan on their way to celebrate with her cousin Tom who also graduated from KU last weekend! Sara and her friends joined up with them later and it sounds like everyone had a great time!

Old Mother Hubbard

The kitchen cabinets have been hung! Since the ceilings are nine foot we were able to order 48" upper cabinets. I'm going to need a ladder for those top shelves! The fireplace and slate hearth from a different angle, looking in from the entryway. I love lots of things about this entryway.
1) French doors to the office/TV room.
2) A closet! Our current home does not have a coat closet in the entryway!
3) The front door!!!
4) Wood floors that flow through to the office
