Painting the Doors and Changing out the Knobs and Switchplates

We are getting closer and closer to being finished with Phase One of the Kitchen/Family Room makeover! Pretty much all of the big projects are done now so I just have a few minor things left like installing two more light fixtures, sewing my roman shade for the window over the sink, finishing painting the rolling island cart and possibly recovering our ottoman (I am definitely planning on recovering it but if I haven’t found the right fabric by the time I finish up those other things I will just photograph the room with the ottoman as is.) I can’t wait to show you all.

A Little Update and The Samsung Galaxy Note 8

*A few outtakes from our first unsuccessful attempt of a shot with Lillie, Lola and Everly

I didn’t mean to go so many days without blogging. The good news is the reason I haven’t blogged is because I have barely touched my computer in days because I’ve been so busy painting and hanging light fixtures and working like crazy on our new house.

My Parent’s Breakfast Nook

I originally planned on working on just one room at a time, but I’ve been jumping back and forth on different projects in a few different rooms (the kitchen/family room, Lillie and Lola’s room, the den and the entry way) based on what I can do with two little helpers at different times of the day.

My Parent’s Dining Room

Whew! It’s been another busy week. I can’t believe it’s already August. On Monday the girls and I started our drive home from New Hampshire. We drove to New York to spend time with Dana in the “big city” as Lillie and Lola called it. We had lots of fun taking them places like the American Girl Store, Rockefeller Center and Central Park and then spent the night and following morning with Dana and then continued on our way back home and finally got back late Tuesday. On Wednesday we got right back to work on the million and one projects we have to do at our new house.
