LIVING ROOM.....I can almost live in it.

EXTERIOR SHOTS

EMPTY BATHROOM

Somehow I ended up with a gutted "master" bathroom.

This was not in the plans, but I found some black mold...

Run over your mail.

Previously at the house there was a mail slot cut into the garage door.

Which means that if you hoped to one day actually use the garage and say even have a remote that would open the garage door upon your arrival home...you would have to drive up, open the door, get out of the car, pick up your mail off the floor of your garage, get back in your car and park.

I did not find this scenario appealing.

A new garage door was installed. I have a remote.

This means that there was no more mail slot.

A new mailbox was put up and will look much more at home once the exterior is painted.

NEW TILE PICS

This 18x18 gray tile now covers the floors in most of the house. I love it.

Today as Nick began painting the ceiling in the living room we found something awesome.

There is a planter high atop this brick wall in the entry way;

and inside of that planter was a newspaper from 1968.

Palette

Here you can get an idea of the color palette that is developing at the house....

A sampling from Nick's collection of painted Deb pics....

TILE TILE TILE

This past week I finally purchased all the flooring for the house.

Thank you home depot credit card.

Almost 1,000 sq ft of 18x18 gray tile,

54 sq ft of 12x12 white tile,

and 181 sq ft white wash laminate from IKEA.

At this moment the house has NO flooring in it,

it has been cleared out down to the concrete slab,

the "master" bathroom is completely gutted,

and somehow I am feeling better about everything.
