I remember posting a picture of our renovation house Christmas tree last year...it was taken from the outside. This year I decided to capture it from the inside. Cozy:)
Things really got done on all aspects of the house this week which is good because, for the most part, next week will be a time of rest. Steve concentrated on getting the downstairs bathroom completely installed. Success! The shower is tiled, the floor is in, the sink and toilet are set and functioning, and the molding around the window and all along the floor is gorgeous. Mark installed my crazy light fixture which came all the way from China, and I added my little touches this evening and voila, we have a beautiful room. Just waiting on the sliding barn door which Steve will make and hang once the hardware I ordered comes in.
Matt sent me to Utica almost every day this week to pick up more ceiling white, primer, and several more gallons of my colors for touch-ups. It felt like old home week at Urbaniks whenever I walked through the doors! All the rooms now have 2 coats of color and the 3 rooms that will be wallpapered each have a coat of tinted primer so that if at any time in the future the paper separates, the color will show through the cracks...not white. Here is a sneak peek of some of my bolder color choices.
coral in the formal parlor
pink in one of the guest rooms
blue on 2 walls of the master bedroom
red on 2 walls of the guest bathroom "Mondrian" style
Last night Joel and I ordered 1770 square feet of interlocking Bamboo flooring for the entire
downstairs. It will be delivered in 2 weeks and needs to cure for 2 weeks which definitely fits into our time frame. We will be able to salvage the original hardwood floors in the 3 upstairs front rooms and hallway with the help of Brian, the wonderful man who refurbished the floors in our Arsenal House project years ago. The rest of the upstairs will be carpeted and tiled.
Joel and I wish all our family and friends a very blessed Holiday!!
