Full Color Birthday

Today was a very busy day. We are preparing to go to Dallas to a huge Mary Kay conference, but before we leave, we wanted to get over to the house today to paint a little. Yes, we are painting some, in fact most, of the interior of our house to save some dough. We also want to beat the cabinet installers who are coming Tuesday, while we are gone. So the 3 rooms with cabinets (2 bathrooms and the kitchen) got the first inside colors. Also today was Lura's Birthday, but she was quoted as saying "this house is the best birthday present I could get". Well, that and Harry Potter 7. We got that today too. Enjoy the pics. Next update, likely Thursday with cabinets and a fully built stair!

Stairway to Heaven (Part 2)

You know, after a while, you just run out of clever titles for blog articles. So here is a follow up the post detailing when the stairs were first built. First there was just wood, but now, there are treads and risers and bamboo and paint and all kinds of stuff. Also new to the blog, interior doors and white washed walls (as in primed and ready for paint)!

We have given our apartment notice now (a very satisfying experience in and of itself) and have set a move-in date of Labor Day weekend. Move in Saturday and Sunday and then go to see Clemson take on FSU. What better weekend plans could there be? Okay, enough type, here's some new pics.
