FINALLY some after pictures!

I know it's been 2 months since I've posted anything.  There's a reason for that.  You see, the project was supposed to be done 2 months ago.  We moved back in 2 months ago.  Then, they took their sweet time finishing the punch list.  Well, it's finally completed and I've taken some after pictures.  Just a warning, this is gonna be a LONG post!

We've moved home!

     Well, we moved last weekend.  Huge thanks to our parents and Kris and Nacholle for all the help.  So happy to finally be home!  Although we are back in the house there is still some work that's being done every day.  Today (Thursday) our custom bookshelves went into our parlor.  They look fabulous!  I spent all day today unpacking stuff.  I actually said on Monday when unpacking my kitchen that I have too much space.  Never thought I'd say that!  And so far, I have cabinets still with nothing in them.  Definitely a good problem to have.  Next week our clawfoot tub and fireplaces will be installed. 

     We have an appraisal on Monday, so keep this in your prayers.  There is so much riding on this appraisal...like the money to pay for the reno... 

     No pictures today, because we don't have our internet hooked up yet and I'm using Zaxby's wifi for a quick post.  I'll take some good before/after pictures in another couple weeks, so stay posted!

     Also, if you haven't heard yet, we're having a little girl!  We found out last week.  Her name is Constance.

More Hardwood

Here's a few pictures of our floors right now.  The flooring guys stayed past midnight last night laying the sealer.  Next week before we move in, they are going to buff, poly, buff, poly.  They look absolutely amazing!
