Catching up.. Kitchen.. Hallway.. and more...

Hallway...Almost ...there... We had to finish the hallway painting in two long days. We were up very late painting to finish in time for the floor guys.

Painting the hall in the dark.. Ivoire and Antique white

Luckily my parents came to help move junk out of the back bedrooms and paint a bit.

The floors are done in the hall and bedrooms so here's a glary or two shot of the finished hallway.

We still need to finish four more hallway doors. We just ran out of time. So... weekend projects. We are happy with the color and I got to practice some caulking skills. The hallway was actually very time intensive to paint due to all of the cutting in and moulding.

Kitchen So the kitchen floors were refinished too, though I don't have any great shots of the finished product yet.

Sanding the kitchen floors...So much better.. Do you remember these?

After the floors in the back of the house were finished we spent several hellish days moving everything we own out of the front of the house. (Again with help from Kristin's parents, my dad, and my brother-in-law. We set the cabinets in to get a taste.

Stove in place with our first pizza. Nice to be able to bake again

Dennis, our carpenter (garage builder) came to help me set the cabinets (He did most of it. We also assembled the second cabinet in place.

Here you see the sink cabinet set with the subtop of ply installed.

Today Dennis returned to set the mortar bed for the tile.

The finished mortar bed. Floating the deck out lets the tile sit eveny on the undermount sink. Next week we will set the tile.

Living room floors Meanwhile in the front of the house Alvaro has been working hard to lightly sand the white oak floors.

Sanding the floors opens up the room.. Plus no junk.

The floors are looking amazing which makes the room perfect.

We will finally get to put our stuff back in this weekend! By the way I lost the camera cord in the moving of stuff so I had to borrow one from my sister. That's why no posts recently.
