Moving along...

Wow...so much has happened in the past 2 weeks!  Those beautiful wood floors have been installed, tile is just about finished up, trim has started, doors installed and cabinets delivered!!!  Oh...and our current house just went on the market!

Making the move is probably going to be a little tougher than I originally anticipated.  My friend, Eve, listed our house the other day and for the past 4 years, I never really got emotional about moving.  But, when I saw my boys' bedrooms in the listing, all of a sudden it hit me....my babies aren't babies anymore, and we are leaving the house where they were babies!  Joe has no love loss...he is so excited about moving, I don't think he really cares at all about leaving this house. Nick, on the other hand, is a little sad to leave the 'hood.  He wants us to keep the house so he can move back in when he's 45.  Not sure what the significance of 45 is, but that's his "big plan"....after of course, he makes it to the Bigs. I keep telling him, if he makes it to the Bigs, he's going to want to build his own house.  But, he's pretty insistent that Robert & Evan will still be here when he's 45, and that they will be able to hang out in the backyard together forever.  We'll see. 

As for the new house, here are shots of the floors just installed. We plan to finish with a few coats of that beautiful Waterlox finish.  Delicious!

 My office (window trim also done)...

Boys' study...

Upstairs hallway...

 Downstairs hallway...

Powder room...

Foyer....

I can't find the full picture of the kitchen with the floors installed, but here's a shot near the fireplace.  I also don't know what I did with the shot of the dining room!  I'm sure it's still on my camera, so when I get those, I'll post as well.

Here are some shots of the tile, trim and doors....

basement bar tile just finishing  up

Master bath tub

Master shower...this turned out beautiful!!!  Still a little trim at the bottom needed, but it's looking great!

Bench seat and window in the shower...

Exterior door leading from kitchen to deck

Window trim in guest bedroom (i think!)

Trim in the little entry between the master and powder room....

And, of course the cabinets....and more cabinets...and more cabinets....

Lastly, some exterior updates.  The real columns on the front porch were installed  (still need to be painted), the tongue and groove pine ceilings installed, door painted and shutters delivered. 

Well, that's where we are.  Next week should be crazy....cabinets go in Monday & Tuesday.  I can't wait to see those!  Trim should be finishing up and the stair railings should be going in.  I need to get busy on my light fixtures....that's been a slow painful process but I'm finally making some decisions!

Keep your fingers crossed the current house sells quick/painless for us!
