Almost There

We are finally starting to see the light at the end of the decorating tunnel. The front door is stained and looking beautiful, the brick in just about complete, and the painting is almost done as well. The brick would have been done by now if they guy fixing a patch of concrete hadn't cut one of the foundation cables. We have been waiting on that to be fixed before the brick guys can finish up. We have been told that they should be done this week. The picture on the right is the new paint.

It is a good thing they are finishing up, because the decorator called and they should be ready to install the bulk of the new stuff on September 5th! We picked out all this stuff back in the first week of June, so I can wait to see it all pulled together. It has been a long summer of work being done, but it is almost over.

The New Door

Today we finally got our new door. We have wanted to replace this door since we bought the house 3 1/2 years ago, and have been actually talking to the builder about it since the first of the year. It was installed today and looks beautiful. We still have to get it stained, but at least the old ugly one is gone.

Here are some before and after pictures.

New TV Cabinet

Our new TV cabinet was installed last week, just in time to have the new carpet installed on Monday. It is kinda hard to take an interesting picture of carpet, but here is one of the new cabinet. We really like it, and it makes it easier to see the TV from the other side of the room. The new front door was delayed a week because it was made wrong. So we should be getting that on Friday. I am so ready to get that done, I am tired of looking at our ugly, faded, peeling door. I will try to make sure to get a before and after picture of the door.

We were finally able to get the weight set out of the front bedroom upstairs. While Andy was taking it apart, Drew just had to try and help. It was so cute to watch him concentrate so hard on something. So that room is now set up as a guest room, and the play room is cleaned out and ready for Drew to start using.
