Where did I leave you last? Cleaning and moving things in? Something like that...well, much has changed!
We added a little coffee bar to the dining room.
It really makes the room feel complete!
We bought plants! Bringing the green inside is always a nice touch!
Also featured: that cool cabinet (thrift store find), the rug, a new coffee table (with great storage!),
and the gramophone (one of the best housewarming gifts ever!).
Our kitchen floor! It's cork, and beautiful!
(and cleans much nicer than plywood sub floor does!)
And our super-cool cabinet hardware!
Eddie's completed bedroom.
(minus a few odds and ends, of course! nothing ever gets completely done, right?)
Our bedroom is coming along!
Still missing a door (which is currently on the front porch, classy, I know).
The bathroom is as done as it will get
till we tackle the hideous yellow shower tile and ugly paint color I chose.
This photo of our front porch is staged so you don't see the unfinished bathroom door.
You're welcome! (Our neighbors aren't so lucky!)
That's the olive tree we planted! Yay! I'm so excited to have an olive tree!!
Eddie has yard toys! We play outside!
So incredibly fun! We still can't get over it!
Not pictured is the foundation bolting (yes, Jonathan, the incredible, single-handedly earthquake retrofitted our house!), many light fixtures, a pomegranate tree in the back yard, bathroom door trim (which had to be built since the old trim in this house is no longer manufactured), a whole house fan (you do NOT want to hear the details of how that project went! I'm hoping to forget!), and odds and ends here and there. It's pretty much never-ending! Now we're working on accepting that and settling into a normal that includes continuing progress.
Now come visit! And see with your own eyes!
