Wait Till You See This

 We are moving right along....putting in long days trying to get finished.  I am so excited about how the kitchen is coming along.  I think it might be my new favorite.

We decided to add this faux brick wall with a shelf.  We thought we would paint the red parts the same blue as the shiplap but it didn't quite match so we are re-evaluating.  Blue shiplap will go across the bottom under the windows.  I am so in love with this part.

Also got the stained glass window framed out and I think it looks so good.

This isn't a great picture because of the light shadows but look at this buffet I bought.  It has the perfect spot in the dining room.

And lastly, I placed this little picket fence along the flower beds outside to help corral the rocks from rolling into the yard and getting hit by the lawn mower.  I think it looks so cute.

That's it for now.  We are honestly getting very close to finishing.  Appliances need to be installed.  Countertops are here and will be installed on Monday.  Backsplash will hopefully go in next week as well and then the electrician can finish the kitchen outlets.  We have a little bit of trim work to do and we have to finish the shiplap in the breakfast nook.  Plus paint the red in the nook.  The back entry way still needs to be done but it might wait till we are moved in.  Same for the basement.

I want to have a little come and go open house for family and friends in the area to come see the house after the renovations before we move any more furniture or belongings in.  Maybe by the end of July we will be ready for that.  I will also be taking "after" photos from the same spots as the "before" photos and will post them.  I'll probably do a video as well to be posted.

Stay tuned!
