The big girl and I stopped by the house yesterday. The outside that I'd never finished painting for something like 5+ years is now painted. The kitchen cabinets were in. Some of the crown molding was up and much of the base board was laid out. The pantry unit was in the garage along with one of the built in shelf units for the living room.
There were a couple of small problems with the kitchen cabinets (which kept me up much of the night worrying but which were all quickly resolved this morning). They are great though!!! The drawers will be so much easier to open and close than what we had before. We have these awesome corner drawers instead of a lazy susan. I was a guinea pig for building them and I've heard that the builder said never again but they are AWESOME!!!
I stopped by tonight and the bathroom linen closet unit and the other shelving unit for the living room were also in the garage.
I went by the paint store today and they loaned me a fan book of paint colors. Tonight my mom and I picked out colors for the whole house. I feel so good to have that done!
I need to take back the bathroom faucets we bought because a different brand was recommended as being better quality and more easily repairable in the case of problems. I also need to finalize the the pedestal sink and all the light fixtures, door knobs, drawer pulls and kitchen back splash tile. Still, I feel like we're making progress and I can get through this weekend, with the big girl's birthday party, and next weekend, with our out-of-town shopping trip, without too much worry.
Then we need to get back to work on the house and the yard!
