One month ‘til show time!!!

Yep its only ONE MONTH from today until our wedding, and that means this house better be DONE, or close to done. I’m not expecting every little detail to be done, but I want all of the big things done! I can only hope….

It has been a while since I’ve posted. Drywall was put up, mudded and taped and sanded X 3, walls primed, and the first coat of color when on the kitchen walls tonight!

Before all the drywall was nailed up, I wrapped up an issue of the North County News from the week that our engagement picture was in it, added a little note from “The Hick’s” and put it inside the wall. Hopefully the house is still standing for a very long time, but once it does get tore down or if the kitchen walls get changed again, someone will find a little piece of history!

 

(Yes I know, not the best picture of myself, but thats not the point!)

A few pics of the drywall being hung:

 

New drywall in the laundry/mud room:

New drywall in the kitchen and the "new” archway!

After the mudding, taping, sanding, and priming:

Now after the first coats of paint. We are keeping all of the cabinets, trim work, and chair rail that were in the kitchen when we bought the house, so that is why we have two colors (and we only painted where we needed to so that is why there are bare spots!

We are keeping some brick exposed in the laundry room, yay!!! Craig has to do a little bit of grinding and fill in some joints and it should look a lot better. Now we have to decide on a color for that room! I’m think a light blue/teal/silverish color. But we have time to decide!

 

Hopefully in the next post you will see: tile floor in the kitchen, cabinets re-hung, new light fixtures in the kitchen and laundry room, and paint in the laundry room!
