Let there be light...and flooring

Thanks to a few great friends, the house is now completely painted & looks amazing. Most of the lighting has also been able to go in, as well as the ceiling speakers.

Baby's room...

Lights above kitchen island...


Dining room light...


All of our flooring is also on site now including our hardwoods & tile. The hardwoods will need to sit for a few days to acclimatize to the house to minimize the amount of shrinking once installed.


Plywood has also gone down in all our "tiled" areas including the front entrance, back entrance & mud room, as well as both bathrooms.


I am now the one who is nervous & anxious as all the decor choices I have made are now coming into reality. At this point, I am just hoping that everything works together once all is in place. Fingers crossed!

The front porch was also completed the other day and has already been enjoyed on occasion for a few moments of relaxation. The porch is very shady as well as a protector from the rain so I am sure that it will be well used for many years.


This week, our flooring will be installed and the kitchen cupboard boxes as well as bathroom vanity's will be built which means it is truly time to start packing the apartment! The doctor has let me know that the baby has dropped more than you would normally see at 36 weeks so it could be any day now! We are both trying to get ready for the move & the baby...thankfully we have so much love and support from our wonderful friends and family. I am hoping for a few more weeks sans-bebe, however I am starting to realize that my schedule may be on hold from now on to give way for a tiny person's needs and desires. For the first time in my life, I am more than willing to put my own bossiness aside and listen to someone else for a change - good thing babies are so lovable!
