10 September, 2013

Been a while since I updated here...we've been too busy moving and cleaning and not having internet. But yay! Progress has been progressing. Here are some photos of the current state of affairs. Not exactly "after" pictures, since there's still more finishing to be done. But hey, for two weeks of being in the place we're not doing too bad.

Here's the Jack & Jill bathroom. Notice the amazing new tile! Sooooo cool. Thanks a ton to Mike and Matt.

This was formerly the "black and watermelon" bedroom. Eventually it will have a travel theme with maps and nautical elements:

The teal bedroom, kind of a storage area for the moment:

Huge thanks to all the people who have been generously helping us move and clean and work - on both houses! And for feeding us and keeping an eye on the kiddo! Mike, Melinda, Matt, Stacy, Andrew, Hans, Desi, Jen, Joel, Aunt Joan, Elspeth, Leah, John, and others!
