Well the time has finally come for us to move in this weekend. Although it will be a temporary situation for quite awhile -- due to time, schedules, and most importantly, budget -- we are excited! The rooms have for the most part been made livable, although nothing is fully finished.
That Hall Bath is still not quite finished, but with a bit of trim and paint touch-ups, we'll be there. Last step will be to get the shower ring enclosure installed...but it's usable in the meantime. We're also not thrilled with the medicine cabinet we bought, but we're hoping to re-purpose it and change the mirror. It's a nice quality piece, but the caning is a little fussy and it has a sort of "suburban bath" feel to it...nothing wrong with that, of course, but not right for us.
The kitchen is still severely temporary -- and will be for quite awhile. We painted the plywood subfloor so at least it has some sort of seal to it, but the cabinets and actual appliances are a long way off. Fortunately we had several loose pieces (tables, cabinets) and our refridgerator -- this will help us function in the meantime.
Take a look at the progress:
Laundry Room -- Functioning!
Kitchen -- Temporary, but livable.
Dining Room -- The bones are done...furniture?
Living Room -- The beginnings of a room.
Front Hall -- Minus a marble floor, but a hall nonetheless.
Upstairs Hall Bath -- Nearly there.
Upstairs Hall -- Yes!
One of the Guest Rooms -- Acting as our in-house wood shop temporarily.
Keep checking back on progress -- to warn you though, we might be posting a little less since we are halting the major projects for awhile...until our checkbook can recover, that is. As the rooms get finished, however, we'll keep posting them.
wow guys!! this is coming along fantastically well. love that i can look in and see all the progress. sorry we missed you at easter. possibly the 4th?? M&K
