Having Josh back home sure has been a big help!
We told him way ahead of time that he had quite a bit of work to accomplish to help us to get the house ready to go!
The fire place mantle was probably the best part of the house, but there was shelving all over the woodwork...
We think it turned out great and we love the wood mantle!
The kitchen has been one of the biggest tasks yet...You see my Craigslist stainless sink with Moen faucet that I was getting ready to install...
But we are in love with the near-finished product! Our stainless steel appliances are wonderful. We found the stove & microwave on Craigslist and the fridge on Clearance! We also splurged a bit with the "Ball Jar" Chandelier installed over the island!
The dining room was pretty straight forward...not to much major work here...
I used the wainscoting not only for 'look' but also to reinforce the walls. The inline chandelier was a great Craigslist find at $15 !!!
We completed the laminate flooring and I am glad that job is done. It looks so good when you are able to get paint on the walls and flooring on the ground.
We will post some more pictures soon...
