Home Update 1

Christmas in NY went well- and New Years celebrations home here were good too. Every morning we woke up in NY, Caed asked to check out his stocking.

We've been awaiting the finishing of the kitchen and bathroom renovations. They mostly finished this past week, hooking up our kitchen sink and dishwasher on Wednesday. They have a project still left, and that's fixing the non working radiant heating on the back floor. They've tried to fix it without having to break up the back floor, but I think we may be closer to that solution...blah. Everything looks great around here though and we're looking forward to having places for everything. We're mostly out of room in the kitchen and may be looking at storage in the back room, even though we were hoping to avoid that.

Here are some pictures. I looked on my computer for the pictures when we looked at the house before we moved in, they aren't here, so we must have saved them to a disc. I'll need to find those to compare.

Bathroom before the renovations- no, that's not brown paint it's the glue that we couldn't get off the wall behind the REALLY old wallpaper. We lived with it like that since we moved in!!:





Half Bath after it's completion (we are waiting for a mirror still):


This isn't a great picture- I am using the new flash Jon gave me for Christmas and I am still getting used to it- so a bad shot- but mostly looking at the fact that there's no more door frame in between the kitchen and back room, which opens that doorway up a little more. And a picture of the porcelain tile we had put down for flooring.


It's messy around here in waves- between washing dusty dishes and finding places for everything.. shot of the sink:
