Coming Together

This kitchen remodel has felt like it was taking a lifetime, but I can finally say it is coming together.  The subway tile back splash got its grout yesterday and it looks great.


I am still in love with the new faucet despite the scratches on the windowsill.  I will be very happy when those are fixed though...such a pretty faucet deserves a pretty environment.

Hello gorgeous!

Did I tell you we are getting a new refrigerator?  Great story.  We used all the existing appliances in the kitchen and planned on keeping the fridge.  Well, I had to call my credit card company for something a couple of months ago...I got a very helpful and very excited customer service guy on the phone.  Once he had answered my questions he asked if there was anything else he could do for me and I said no.  And he said, well how about a points balance before I let you go.  I said, a points balance?  And he said, oh this will be fun. 

I had no idea my card earned points...I suppose that should be a lesson to read the mail from your credit card company and not just automatically consider it junk.  Anyway, I have had this credit card since I was an undergrad (so like two weeks...lol) and it turns out I had a lot of points ready for the using.  In fact there were thousands that I was going to lose come March 2013.  To make a long story short, I had enough points to get a $1,000 gift card to Sears and still have lots of points left.  So, my new almost free fridge comes today.  Woohoo!

"I like the fridges.  They has the noms."

I saw this on Facebook last night and felt it needed to be shared.  I have been feeling like this a lot lately.

Mmm Ice Cream

Happy Friday!!  I have to work tonight.  Oh, boy.  But I get the afternoon off to hang out with my new fridge.  I hear new appliances are very entertaining.  It was true for my washer and dryer, so I am very excited.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Weekend Recap

Our weekend was a working weekend, but we had fun.  We got some painting done, some patching and some tile laid.

Supervisor Sammy was on the job.
Here is the kitchen tile.  I like it even more laid out on the floor than I did when I picked it in the store.


We move this coming Sunday.  Yikes, we still have lots of work to do.  The goal will be to have the kitchen tiled and the spaces for the appliances painted.  The washer/dryer comes Saturday so that will be installed and we will have the fridge back in place, I will be happy to have it off the sun porch.  We have resigned ourselves that will be moving in with an incomplete kitchen, but hopefully in the next month we will finish it out.  We will not have counter tops or a sink installed when we move in, but we will have to make due.

"This tile not straight."
I got another room painted!  This is another bedroom.


I just need to finish out the trim and ceiling.  Progress!

Happy Monday!  Do you have a super busy week planned too?
