Day 9

Great progress today! New trim went in the Living Room! It is much thicker than the old stuff (sorry I don't have a pic) and is in much better proportion with the scale of the room and the window and floorboard trim. We are very pleased! It matches the kitchen.



Also, Jeff added trim to the bathroom and hallway where there was none before. It looks so good that Cameron said when he walked in today, "I wonder if we shouldn't just have him do the bedrooms too."



The bedrooms have picture molding that I like because I can hang things from it! However, painters are coming next week so if we're ever going to do it, now is the perfect time.


We had to take apart our "bathroom kitchen" today so that trim and a vent could go in the bathroom. There was no place to put all of our temporary kitchen things besides in Turner's room so it was there they went. The dogs have been spending most of their days stuck in the front red room so that wasn't an option. It was at this point that I felt a total loss of control. Every room of our home is now officially in disarray but praise God I am able to laugh! Cameron just smiled at it all too:) I guess it is easier when you can see a light at the end of the tunnel (and when you have a week long beach trip planned to begin Monday!!).


I vacuumed the downstairs twice today and it needs it again. As soon as Jeff finishes up tonight I'm going to put this shop vac to work cleaning up the construction zone. These past couple of weeks have been my first experience with a shop vac and I have become quite a fan. It is miraculous how quickly and how much this thing can eat up.


After that, I am going to test these paint samples on some poster board and hopefully come to a decision tonight for our cabinet and wall colors. I wish there weren't so many shades of white! A HUGE thank you to my friend and neighbor, Mollie who let Turner take a nap at her house so I could run up to the Benjamin Moore store and pick out some colors. There are some things that are just not practical with a toddler and this is one of them for me.
