What's going on over there???

I know you guys are wondering what the hell it's looking like over here, but I've decided you're just going to have to wait! The paint is almost done. It's looking amazing! What a difference a smooth wall finish makes! Wait until you see the crazy TV room! The kitchen counters go in on Monday! Some new furniture is delivered on Tuesday! Everything is looking beautiful! But, i feel a picture will be better when the finished product is installed. Not that any project is ever finished. In fact, we are out of money and there are a few things that will have to wait....such as, art for the walls, wallpaper for the front of the island, some new lights, rugs, and the list could go on and on, but I won't bore you! The list of things construction wise that need to be done to this old house is even longer and way more expensive, but for now we'll just enjoy our new kitchen, flooring and TV room and hope that we can keep our house in this crazy economy.

The house truly has some lacking quality features that we never noticed. Today we found out that when the previous owners installed the new "California" closet, they removed a wall between the two bedrooms. I guess they just figured it probably wasn't structural since it was in the middle of the house, wrong! I had never noticed my sloping ceilings, but now that they've been pointed out, it's really obvious. We are going to have to unexpectedly tare down the sheet rock and put in a header and some two by fours to create a wall! It's all good, at this point it's only money.....
