We have undertaken a larger than anticipated set of remodeling projects. Our home will ultimately be better for it, but in the meantime our life is dominated by punchlists and many, many projects.
Folks have been pestering me for an update about our house, so in honor of the punchlists that currently decorate the walls in our home I thought I'd give an updated tour complete with punchlists.THE FAMILY ROOM
Ok, honestly, at the moment it is more accurately the mud room, or that area where everything needed to complete any project lands. We have not tackled a single project in this room. (In fact, we don't even want to think about what needs to be done in this room yet!)SPARE BEDROOM
What's been done so far: - hardwood floors refinished
-icky wallpaper removed
-walls re-mudded and textured
-baseboards sanded and prepped for painting
-baseboards sanded and prepped for painting
-icky smelly carpet removed
-wall heater removed and appropriately patched

What needs to be done:
-paint the walls
-paint the walls
-paint closet interior
-replace light switches and outlets
-replace light fixture? (maybe someday!)
-install quarter round and new crown molding
-install quarter round and new crown molding
THE KITCHEN
What's been done:-Flooring replaced
-and since the last photo update - the ceramic tile on the cooktop counter has been removed
To be done:
Everything! The appliances are arriving, the backsplash tile has been selected, the countertops are selected - but we need to finish the rest of the house before we tear up this room!
The background for this picture is our new ceramic tile. The small subway tiles are what we have chosen for our backsplash, and the top sample is our countertops.
THE HALLWAY
What's been done:
-The floors have been refinished
-The walls have been repainted
-the light switches have been updated
-doors are painted (mostly!)

This room is not in bad shape at all
By the way, our home has true divided light windows. Might I interject to say, that these are fabulous - until you have to prep them for painting and ultimately paint. What a pain!
THE BATHROOM

-Trim painted
We are making progress, slowly, but surely - maybe we can have most of the projects completed by Thanksgiving....maybe!

Yea!!! Great color choices! It's coming along. I just hope you can move in asap. It would make things easier I am sure. But you guys are doing great!
I love the colors! We'll stop and take a peek on our way to Utah this Christmas.
Know how busy you have been and some of the hurdles you've overcome.
Can't wait to hear you are moved in, I know you will enjoy your new home for many years to come.
The progress looks amazing, anxious to see the final photo shoot as well.
Love you both!
