We are getting closer and closer to getting the wood floors installed. There are a few things that have been our goal to get done first since we moved in. Our first project was getting the downstairs painted. That is completed except for the guest bathroom downstairs, which is going to be a total renovation.
Our next goals were to get the wood floors installed and the chandeliers put up. When the previous owners moved out they were kind enough to take their lights with them to leave us a clean slate...and very dark rooms! We have purchased and/or painted all of the necessary chandeliers and are now ready to let there be light! Tyler and I have both painted chandeliers and this weekend I completed our last chandelier. I also added ribbon to the shades.
This week Andreas and Luis (our wonderful painters) are coming to install 3 chandeliers. The first will be in the entry where we do not have light at all. (We are SOOOO excited!) The next will be in the den. We got a 5 foot chandelier to go in that room to replace the tragic gold fan. Finally, they are removing a canned light in the back staircase and putting in a chandelier that we got from Aunt Debbie and Uncle Larry. In order to get the chandeliers installed we needed to rent 15 foot scaffolding. We went down to our local Home Depot and they do not carry the safety pins for the scaffolding. (Seriously! No safety pins!) So they would not rent it to us (and we didn't want it with out them). So we went to another Home Depot to get the scaffolding. After loading it carefully in Daddy's truck, a slow drive back and unloading it into the house we have scaffolding! Sunday we put it up for Luis and Andreas to use Monday.
This week we are also getting the crown molding in our room installed!!! (YAY Andreas and Luis!) We are also scheduling the wood floors and hope to be rid of this carpet by the end of March! (A great birthday present...no carpet!!)
So many changes and we are loving it! This house turns more into our home everyday!
