Home renovation update

This is what has been going on at my house this week. This week my house has smelt like paint, sealant, sawdust, and candles [trying to help with the smell]. As you can see we have another working toilet in the house. We also have cabinets in the the other bathroom, which do need to be painted and soon they will be. We also have more cabinets in the kitchen which covers the pantry, so atleast my kitchen does not looked cluttered. The cabinets in the kitchen still have to be stained. I am just happy to have them and grateful to have a husband that has worked so hard to get it all done.

More cabinets for storage. We have to do touch-up painting.

Yay! We have another working toilet in the house.

As you can see I need to finish cleaning off my countertop here.

Master Bathroom

We are making progress with the master bathroom, not as fast as I would like, but it is coming along.  We are using the shower daily.  I chose a glass mosaic tile for the shower walls and we also used the glass tiles as accents for the bathroom floor.  The hardware is chrome.  I love it because we have a large rain dome as well as a hand-held sprayer.  The shower seat is nice especially now that I am pregnant and 7 months pregnant at that.  It is much easier and safer to get out of than the porcelain tub. Here are a few pictures of the shower only.  We are expecting the cabinets by the end of this week [fingers crossed].  Once the cabinets go in I can get the countertop installed.  After the countertop is installed the only thing left is installing the toilet, lights, the sink, and faucet which I already have.  See, I've been ready to have this done for a while now.  Now with Kira on the way there is a sense of urgency.  

P.S.  I am really proud of my husband because he framed and designed this shower himself.  He is such a handyman.

Before & After

As you all know our house has been an ongoing project.  Our latest addition has been changing out the front door.  This is what the original front door looked like.

This is the new one that I love, love, love.  

Joe has to replace the trim around this door, but despite that, it is much more prettier than the old one.  We are getting close to finishing the master bathroom renovation.  Once that is complete we will move to that bedroom, and then we will have the other bedroom for the nursery.
