One week until move in!

So we have officially 6 days to move into our new home, and we still have a LOT to accomplish. 

Since last week, we have gotten so much done, and many things are improving.

First up, we are updating the electrical throughout the house. Our wonderful electrician has given us several things that we previously didn't have. First up, the outside light. When you came to the back porch at night, it is very dark, and there was no light. Problem solved! Also, once you got inside, the closest light switch was across the kitchen, so it was dark in the house for a good 6 steps. We now have a beautiful light port that will house a lovely light (that will hopefully be in this week!).

Next up, the kitchen! The sweet lady that lived in our house wanted everything very close to her so the kitchen was very closed off. Handyman Dad started pulling down anything that wasn't essential in the kitchen (decorative trim, walls, etc). It is so much more open now. Can't wait to paint those cabinets!

The bedroom is starting to really take shape. The lovely border around the top has been removed thanks to my sweet husband & his friend...who both worked very diligently for hours on Saturday doing everything I asked! :)

Notice something lovely? Yes, those are our hardwood floors, which are getting refinished AS WE SPEAK! I cannot wait to see how they turn out. They should be completed this week for the big move in. SO excited. The boys also got the bedroom painted. We still have to do trim & a second coat, but it looks oh so much better. Please ignore the cluttered dining room!

Speaking of dining room, it has been painted & is now housing all the furniture that is playing "musical rooms" until all of our floors are done!

Lastly, the living room. This is what is looked like on Saturday morning:

And here is what is looks like today:

We have removed the drapes and pulled up the carpet! And the biggest surprise of all, there are TWO (2) layers of hardwood floors underneath that carpet! How amazing is that? If the first layer isn't able to be refinished, we can just go to the next layer. Can't wait to share that soon!

Lastly, a little teaser about a project I'm working on. Here is the before:

Check back soon for the after!!!

Best,
