Welp, we had a couple of days of painting. Last Monday - Wednesday I had off of work and really tried to get most of the painting done! My mom was a big help, 2 of my brothers and also my friends Patti & Sheri came to help. In those 3 days (really 2.5ish) we got all but the 2 extra rooms, the hallways, & the fireplace wall done! I couldn't believe it! But now as I write this, the 2 extra rooms are done, the hallways are painted and only the fireplace wall and all the touch-ups need to be done! But I hope that that this weekend I am able to finish it up! =)
Here are some photos:

Matt varnishing the trim
My dad staining the windows
Fireplace is finally in! (& the mantle too!)
Railing that my brother keith made for our garage! I love it!
Other than that, a couple other exciting things have happen with the house:
• We ordered and received all flooring (minus the carpeting though) and it is all ready to be put in!
• We bought a fridge.... found a great deal on Home Depot.com and have it sitting at
my parent's house until we are ready! Now we just need to get the rest of the appliances!
• Our cabinets should be in in the next week & a half or so!
THAT, let me emphasize THAT, will be SO EXCITING FOR ME!!! The kitchen and what is looks like has been what I have been planning and look forwarded to for a very long time! As soon as we had to plan out our budget for the house, I had gone into Project Place and started working with Holly on the design! Once that is done..... I will be ONE HAPPY CAMPER!
(alright... maybe I should actually start working for the day.. hehe)

The house looks amazing! You are getting so much done! It's so exciting! Wow, your brother made the railing? It's so pretty! I love it! I can't wait to see your cabinets! It's so much fun picking things out. I want to redo all of that again! lol I look forward to seeing more pictures as you check things off of your list. :)
Hey Stephanie....
(i'm curious if you see these comments that i comment on your comment.. haha... did that even make sense?)
Yeah... my brother works for his father-in-law doing iron railings/fences/etc. So he had some extra stuff laying around and was able to do this for us in the garage which is really nice and saved us some money!! =)
How are you doing?
Hi Jenni,
No, I don't get any notification that you replied to my comment. I always wondered that too, because I always reply. lol I don't think you get notification either when I reply on my comment. I usually go back and look at yours though to see. I don't think I have any readers of my blog except for you and one other girl, so you'll know if there is more than one comment, that I replied. lol
That's so cool! It's just gorgeous!
I'm good, just busy getting ready for Sawyer's birthday party. I'm in major purge mode, so that's keeping me busy. My mom and I are having a garage sale at her house in April. I was in major purge mode the day the tornado hit, and then I had to stop because I didn't have the corn crib to store my totes of unwanted stuff in, and I wasn't obviously going to be having a garage sale at my house with my buildings gone. lol So, I'm so happy to be back at decluttering and simplifying.
