Our house flooded 6 months ago
and it took us about that long to recover.
Wow.
Justin finished all the trim and what-not in December
but it took me a while to post about it.
Since the floor had to be replaced, we figured we would
do a few other things and changed out the patio doors, hardware,
trim, bathroom sink and toilet.
"We" also thought it would be a good idea to splash a fresh coat
of paint on everything while the floor was out.
We started with the kitchen ceiling... and Justin's
paint duties ended after the kitchen ceiling.
It didn't take long to figure out that putting a
paintbrush in that man's hands was a death sentence.
So, after that night, he did the man stuff and I did the girl stuff... like paint.
And everything got painted. Doors, the whole ceiling downstairs, most of the walls and
all the shelving in the laundry room.
He got to play with power tools.
He was happier than a fat kid in a candy store.
I was mad at him for it because all I did was paint and caulk and paint.
Gay.
I hate painting. Hate, hate, HATE it.
My hat goes off to anyone who remodels.
It can turn the nicest person into a monster.
Too. Much. Stress.
And nothing looks perfect when you are done.
Grrr.
Anyway, everything is done and Justin did a great job with the trim and
putting everything back together.
We put in new back doors with the blinds inside of the glass.
LOVE THEM.
The blinds stay clean ALL the time. It's the best invention ever.
Hopefully they help keep water and bugs out better than
the rotten patio doors that were there before.
The sink is my fave. I could stare at it forever.
The new toilet is Justin's fave. He could ummm... stare at it forever too.
It's amazing what a new commode will do for a marriage.
We opted for a darker floor since we figured we wouldn't be living
here forever, so it would be nice to try it out and we love the way it looks with
the kitchen cabinets.
And, insert a picture of the laundry room here.
It's kinda messy right now soooo.... yeah.
