Well as with everything that is house progression at its best and remodeling we have hit a pause for a few days. Still no Vanity! Matt's dad is now coming over on Saturday to help us with it. Which really works out best for us all! But dang I so want to see how pretty my bathroom will be when done. In all the adventure of the day yesturday we decieded to hang our tv in the bedroom on the wall! Let me tell ya if you need a wallmount go to Lowe's! Best Deal ever, cost us around 50.00 the only ones we could find other places would have cost us over 100.00. This is also the full range wallmount it works amazing! Well in all the excitement to hang it up, the battery on the drill died, while it was still in the wall. It was so funny. I never laughed so hard. I have included a picture of the excitement.



Our New Medicine Cabinet all pretty and hanging up. Only a few more things to do, of course they are big things. But hey at least we some wonderful and beautiful things already set up in our bathroom.

The Drill stuck in the wall! It was an adventure for sure! At least you can tell we enjoyed ourselves! Matt was all smiles and laughs!
The tv looks beauiful on the wall, we have moved all the cords and hung a cute shelf to hold the cable box. It looks amazing!

Okay so in my last post, I updated you on the work. Here are some pictures on how it went. My sister worked really hard on gettin wallpaper down she gets a little excited and ripped a little in the process.

Isnt she so cool, she was such a help and a hard worker. I could never have done this and she just went crazy and did it all!

My husband was such a huge help too. He put the whole first coat of paint on the walls and sanded them down. He did an amazing job!

I put the final coat on, Looks awesome if I say so myself. Its a silver gray color that will go perfect with our towels and new vanity!

We put the new Vanity Mirror/Medicine Cabinet up tonite, and I took pictures. I will try to post tomorrow. Only 4 trys later and we found the perfect one! Tuesday, Matt is putting the tiles down and hopefully the new vanity!
Loves All!

Wow, I cant believe October is almost over

Seems like it has been forever since I posted on here. Matt and I have been so super busy, still nothing done on the upstairs hallway but we have taken the dreadful old wallpaper down in the bathroom and have painted the walls. Let me say that was an experience in itself. My sister was an amazing help, she literally pulled all the wallpaper down by herself while I played/watched my niece. Matt patched and sanded so many times we thought it would never get done. There are still minor imperfections but its an old house and seriously what can ya do. I love this house but it will be such a blessing when most of it is done. After the bathroom is done we are going to finish the hallway and then on to what we refer to as the moose room. Currently its a catch all, but it will someday be a baby room. NO, I am not preggos. We just want to get the nasty wallpaper down and repair the damage to the walls. At some point a while ago there was termites so there is some minor sheet rock damage we will have to repair. Thankfully that won't be to hard. My it seems so crazy that October is almost over, I cant believe that Matt and I have been married 6mths, and own a house. We are so excited with each new thing we get to learn and do within our home.
