And the Story Continues...

Well the house is coming along nicely.

The ceilings look FABULOUS! I will be posting pictures of them as soon as I paint them, which might be a while but hopefully not too long. Things are just moving along so smoothly, and will continue to go that way, I hope. I am sure that you are going to love the big changes that Mike and I are making in the house.

Right now we are working on the inside. I think either in the fall or next spring\summer we will paint the outside. However, I would like nice couches before then, so it may be a year or 2 before the outside of the house gets painted. I really can't wait to get things done and show you pictures!

Mom came over Tuesday to help me wash the walls and ceilings downstairs so that they are ready for the painting party on Sunday. I can hardly wait! As soon as I get the downstairs painted, I can start moving furniture and boxes in. I also can't wait to paint my bedroom. Once I do that, I can actually move in! I still have to buy primer and the paint, but I already know what I want, so it's not that bad...just kind of expensive. Thank you to Grandpa Jack and Granny Marilyn for my birthday gift! That is going right into the house for paint.

So, we took out the false wall in the living room and found a real fireplace! Granted I don't have the means right now to fix it up nice, but that will come in time. Mike and our friend, Dave, who is also a carpenter have been looking at it as a blank canvas. I have told them they have free creative license with that space as long as it matched the colors of the room. I just can't think of anything to do with it right now. I didn't know that it was there to be played with or fixed, so I don't have any thoughts in my head about what I want it wot look like. I trust the 2 of them to do a great job, too.

I can't think of anything else. I hope to see you on Sunday!
HUGS!
