It's Coming Together!!

The count down continues, and the days are slipping by so fast now.  So many projects to do and so little time.  There is nothing more rewarding though when you see a project finally coming to an end. Though there is still the last bits to do on all of these projects I thought I'd post an update.  Gordon has done such a amazing job. It seems surreal at times that this is actually finally happening!

I know the picture of the head may not seem super impressive but believe me if you look back at the old pictures they are.  I no longer feel like I am in a grungy gas station bathroom or could catch some obscure disease.  With all the caulking and old stains, no matter how much you cleaned it just looked, well gross.  But now!!!  Oh my, it's just breathtaking when I walk in there!  SO CLEAN (*can you see me smiling* ).  Sorry the doors are missing, they are at the house drying.
I also found some adorable Wall Decals that I thought we could put up so it doesn't seem so sterile and gives Logan something to play with (you can close off the area to the actual head and it leaves a small play area).  I'm in love with the Baby Elephant Chalkboard, now that he is starting to draw, and chalk wipes away much easier than markers!  Anyway I digress.... onto the rest of the projects.

Head floor, Hazmat suit no longer required.

So Shiny & Clean, Yay!

To the left is our custom made cutting board (which is attached to the lid of the fridge) made by our wonderful friend Jim!  G also found a new piece of formica to match the existing counter tops.  The lid still needs to be mounted, but all of G's measurements were perfect and it has turned out beautifully.  So much more space than the old design, and super organized to boot!

New Dickinson 3 burner stove and custom made cutting board!

Custom made fridge (we've even got ICE CUBES) Everything fits Just So!

The house is a work in progress, it's all the little things - emptying the file cabinets, boxing up the millions of pictures I seem to have stashed EVERYWHERE, unpacking (for the first time) and repacking boxes from the last move.  Through it all I realize I have a bit of a problem, I hoard things..... books, beads, craft supplies, fabric, did I mention books. Getting one of those Kindle's is looking better and better after hauling multiple boxes of books to the garage.  I just can't bear to part with them (and I do read them again) .... ok I'll stop trying to justify.

Anyway, it is all starting to come together, despite an entire month of continuous illness shared between the three of us(cold, stomach flu, pink eye, cold again) and the glorious onset of the terrible two's ( they are SO fun L thought he'd start early!)  G is now off for the next few days and it is the final push to finish up projects and start moving  the last bits out of the house and start moving our carefully selected items onto the boat!

Looking forward to the next post of COMPLETED PROJECTS!!!!!!!!!!
