Too Too Excited!

John and Jake have been working on the baby's room for the last few days and I am so excited about it that I'm putting pictures on here before it is even done. Everytime I walk in I make audible squealing noises.

It started like this:

They took the clutter:

 We ripped the carpet out:

Sanded and restained:

Painted and added a chair rail:

And then John proved he is far more talented than I will ever be:



I. LOVE. IT.

Taking our time...

Fortunately (or unfortunately) we haven't had to rush any of this process since we still have a home to live in.

                          We cut a new doorway (although that power box is still there)

                                           Put in some skylights :)

                                               Finally got sheetrocked!
                                                       

                  Built the arch for the brick (time to start putting the kitchen back together)

                              Had our appliances delivered prematurely...

   Tore up the main floor bathroom (which we weren't planning on doing for awhile)

                        Started painting the baby's room (oddly similar to Jake's room here lol)

                                  Putting the kitchen back together from the ground up!

                                      Celebrated Halloween (our least favorite)

                             Helped Grandpa pick grapes to make grape juice...

                            And celebrated 6 years of marriage. I love him more everyday.

We really think everything is going to start coming together quickly from here on out. Hopefully we can have a couple of good weeks and weekends and be moved in by Christmas. Before Christmas. As in by December 11th. That's my goal whether or not it is anyone else's!
