Paint! Paint! Paint!

The last 2 weeks we've been painting!!! Correction- last two weeks JOSE has been painting!

I am in love with our painter. He is so good!

Theater room colors. There will be artwork that goes inside the trim work there on the wall. And one on the other side as well. 

Hard to tell in this picture but this is after the glaze and antiquing has been done. It looks AWESOME!

These are the kitchen cabinets after being stained. 

Stairs after their first coat of stain. One more coat, then poly, then done! Still need the iron railing.

This is our black and white kitchen. Hard to tell with plastic over black part but looks really good! Counter tops next week and those will be Nordic Black antiqued. SO Excited to see the finished product!!!

pa·tience/ˈpāSHəns/ Noun: The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.

One word describes a homeowner who is building a house.... "patience". You either have it or you quickly learn it to survive! 

I love my home and I love the way it is turning out. I just want it to be done N.O.W! I'd say 33 weeks pregnant and 4 weeks out is pretty "patient" if you ask me!?!

I know, I know- no one to blame but myself..... from the kind words of my mother :)

Check out where our patience got us this week.... 


Upstairs Guest Vanity

Partial kitchen shot. 


Entertainment center for den. Antique doors to left will go in center to hide movie theater screen.... I'm sorry... TV


Laundry room filing cabinets. My blue w/d will go under counter in middle. Can't wait for that installation. 


Above counter cabinets in laundry


My lovely little nook. AKA office. I'm not complaining perfect for what i need. Convenient and a nice place to stash the ugly papers {and bills} that you don't want to look at often.


Stairs. Obviously. Now just need the railings. Work in progress.... Iron is really expensive FYI to those considering it!

Theater room storage. Screen will go above this. Wait til you see the carpet and colors I've picked out for this room. OMG- never would have thought.... hehe. 

His vanity in master math. All the Mr. needs, right!?


Her vanity in master bath. A wee bit more leg room. To be expected.


Nursery vanity. Yes I know- it's small. You'll get over it. I had to. :)


View of kitchen from Den. It will be black and white kitchen!
