Progress!

Progress is being made on the kitchen project and I'm so excited to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Jason spent the weekend working on the ceiling and installing the new light fixtures. There's still about half the room that needs tiles put up but at least there's a big stack of them that are painted and ready to go. So the next time he has a chance to work on it things should move along pretty quickly. Once the tiles are all up the only thing left will be the crown moulding. Yay!!! I'm so excited to have the kitchen be completed. After 3 1 /2 years of living with a torn up, no doors, no ceiling kitchen this is pretty major! :)

After the kitchen gets done we'll be moving on to Kyle's room. The carpet in there absolutely has to go. The darn dog has taken a liking to it and that totally grosses me out so we're going to tear it out. We'd like to put hardwood floors in there but we'll see what happens. Even if we just have the subfloor exposed for a while it'll be better than having nasty dirty carpet. Eventually I'd like Jason to build a large storage unit for in Kyle's room but I know that'll be costly so I'm not sure if I'll be able to talk him into doing it all at once or not. I have so many projects and dreams for this old house and it's hard to not be in a financial position to do them all. I'm hoping to get Jenevieve's bed painted today and work some more on removing the wallpaper border in her room so that I can put up the new, more grown-up border. It'll be fun to give her room a mini-transformation. Best part...no wall painting required! LOL

Once all the above projects get done then it'll be time for the big living room remodel. I can't wait! After the kitchen project is finished I plan on starting a mini scrapbook album of all the work we've done to this house.

Tomorrow is school registration day so I'll be getting Kyle signed up for first grade. He has already screamed at me and told me that he's not going back to school and that I can't make him. Not exactly the back-to-school attitude I was hoping for. The first day of school should prove challenging. :(

Kyle's first day is exactly one week from today. Jenevieve's preschool doesn't start until September 5th. I'm anxious for them to go back to school and get back into a routine around here. Everything is so off schedule during the summer.

Well, I need to get my butt in gear and get working on her bed. Have a fantastic day everyone and here are a few of my latest scrapbook pages if you're interested.
