House Updates

This week, my pap and grandma came up to visit. While my pap was in town, he replaced all the lights upstairs for me and the outlets on the first floor.

Luella came and faux painted my bedroom so that it would look like it had a suede finish to the walls.





The crown molding is now finished in the living room and dining room.


There is still a list of things that need done, but the end is in sight! Move-in day is hopefully the first weekend of November!!!

More House updates

As many of you know, I am the world's worst painter- apparently a roller can also leave strokes the way a brush can... who knew??? So, I hired Jim Bowser to do some work on the first floor for me. He has been busy this week. So far, he has removed the old, yucky blue carpet, painted the living room and dining room, and put up the crown molding in the dining room. You can also see that he is beginning to frame out the picture frame moldings for the dinning room as well. My new silver dining room light finally arrived from Hite's, so once Jim is done working in the dining room, I will switch out that yucky yellow one for the new one. YAY!

Work in Progress...

Since closing on my house on September 15, my parents and I have been working non-stop to paint and and spruce up my new house. So far, we have the two extra bedrooms and the hallway painted. Also, the blue carpet downstairs has been ripped out so that the original hardwood floors can be sanded and resealed.
