Sorry Neighbors!

BLINDS! That's right! No more peeking in, neighbors! Our house is no longer a 24-hour show. Our neighborhood is full of walkers. I always catch them looking in our large, wide-open windows. I even see people driving by and stopping or slowing down. When it's dark outside and our lights are on it is an excellent view from the whole neighborhood. This is why I'm so excited to have blinds! And our house is feeling more and more like a home. These pictures make me want to get some curtains going too though...someday!

Let the Projects Continue!

So we basically stopped everything after we moved in and replaced the windows. We're getting back into gear now that the sun is popping out and we have family coming to visit! It's mostly Lane going at it actually. I will post pictures as things get finished but he is finishing up the corner in our bonus room. The walls still weren't put in because they were working on our heat pump and plumbing and such. So the drywall is screwed in, just waiting for some texture and paint (next week?)! We also finally ordered blinds for all our windows (going in Saturday)! We also purchased our base trim, so that's waiting to go in as well.

Project "Back Splash" took Lane 2 days. He did an awesome job, it looks great! He figured out how do to it and just went to town. We might add a wood strip at the top of the slate line, and we still need to screw in the outlet covers, but there's our beautiful kitchen!

Lane has already started on the fireplace. We got the same slate as the back splash for the fireplace only larger squares. That project will probably be finished within the next couple days, I can't wait! We're even considering covering our entry way floor with the slate too.

Soooo pictures of the blinds, base trim, wall downstairs, and fireplace should be updated soon! And then the outdoor projects begin!
