Room transformations

Lots of changes now that the cupboards are starting to go in. They are looking fantastic and just a bit of trim and glass to go on. They will be installing the counter tops on Wednesday! I think I will go into shock when I move back upstairs... so many drawers and cupboards - lol!

Door handles - Argh!

Well who would have thought picking out door handles would be such a problem. Although the Remodelers have 100's to choose from my husband and I have been stressing over which one to pick. I made the big trip down to Lee Valley and purchased about $40.00 worth of my favorites, but in the end it was one we had found in the Remodeler's show room. Later it was a call to the designer to choose the right size and find an appliance handle that would go with our handle selection. Funny it was probably the first one we saw there. Hahaha that should teach us a lesson! I spent hours picking the door handles, carried around door samples and now I have to do returns to various stores.....no I won't say here how many stores I have to make returns to. So embarrasing! Ah but they will look marvelous once they get installed. Laundry room is almost done...

Cupboards - lots of cupboards

It's been awhile since I last posted. Time has a way of slipping by especially when you get busy! Since my last post the Remodelers have spray painted the casement and baseboards and we have had a delivery of the cupboards... I think every room upstairs has trim, doors or cabinets in it. The fininshing carpenters have so many tools, saws and gizmos that it's difficult to move around up there.  Heres some pictures!

Rub a dub dub... I've got a brand new tub!

Well bring on the bubbles! My new tub was delivered today, and although it's in the middle of my bathroom, it's going to find a lovely home in the corner.

Oh so hot and steamy

Very excited to see the last of the tile go up in our steam shower... just need some glass now. Outside we have our bubble up again to keep the area warm. Struggling to find some stone for the top of the stair railing, but I'm sure we will find something!

BANG BANG BANG

Headphones are not quite strong enough to drown out the sound of the compressor, nailer and constant dropping and pushing around of the hardwood flooring. Having said that I can't complain these fellas are doing a great job and it's going to be done in no time!

Catch up time

It's funny sometimes I get so busy with life I forget to take a breath. I've stopped for a moment and now I'm looking around at the house and I'm seeing amazing changes. Time to post some of these great pictures. A huge thanks to the Remodelers who have sent us a great tiler and the finishers who have been working on the beams.
