Starting to look less messy

I realized we hadn't taken many photos of our place last week! Each day we come home and there's something new to look at... a few new tiles, a new kitchen cabinet, etc... And for the last 5 nights we've been sleeping at my studio, so we haven't even been home other than to drop off some paint cans or pick up clean clothes.

But here's a few quick (and not so great) photos that I snapped with my cell phone to give you guys a little progress update.


Tiles in the bathroom
We were going to full-tile the bathroom, but we have too many weird soffits. Our contractor recommended stopping at the border, 4 feet up. That meant we had to scramble and choose a paint color. After staring at 37 shades of white, "Edgecomb Gray" it is. Paint should go on in a few days.





New bedroom wall
The old bedroom "wall" (I use the term loosely) was 2 feet closer to you in this photo. Basically, the stepladder would have been in the next room. So we've made the living room a little smaller, and now our bedroom will be 10x10 feet.




Kitchen cabinets
They're purdy. :) We now have all the cabinets in place and level, and some custom "mini-bits" built into the weird little nooks that our kitchen loves to have. The walls have since been cleaned up and are ready for paint.




Sleeping at work
When we got home Friday to find our toilet in the living room, we turned around and carted the air mattress to my studio.
