our house: paint & floors

kitchen/laundry - 2 coats of white = done!

chelsea & jae, working on the primer in the bedroom
(this is the same bedroom you'll see a few pics down with the purple wall.
ps sorry it's so dark..phone pic + no actual light in the room = crappy pictures)

dining room - 2 coats of white = done!
(the mr. is such a good model, yes?
i think his eyes are open. a little bit maybe.)

main bath - working on first coat of blue/grey
(it's now all done! and don't worry - that greenish color
on the left will be covered up by tile)

bedroom - first coat of purple on accent wall
(it now has a second coat on and looks much better, we love it!
although we did have some tough times with the blue painter's tape today...)

kitchen/laundry area - laying down backerboard (layer between subfloor & tile);
all the backerboard is done now!

had our floor guy come over and replace some pieces (the lighter pieces up towards the doorway)
 and sand down just this portion...it looks AMAZING. i mean, look at the difference!
cannot wait until all of the wood floors are done being sanded and stained.


so that's what's been going on around here the last week or so.
the next week: tile, more painting, and hopefully some cabinets going up.
soooo close......

  1. MARA & JAE, YOU ARE AMAZING!!

    Thank you for posting pictures. That floor looks so beautiful, all sanded; it's going to be an awesome feature of the house.

    Mostly, we're just so happy your moving-in day is getting closer and closer, thanks to all your hard work and persistence. We really admire you both. (You might laugh at the idea now, but I predict much jealousy of your beautiful house.)

    Love,
    Kellie & Ty
