Coffee, water, wine. repeat. Deck, trim and cabinets! In the past couple of weeks we have had some big updates! We now have a deck, trim, interior doors, hardwood floor and cabinets! There were two brothers who did our trim work and they were amazing. Their work is so seamless and smooth. And they moved fast - completed the whole house in about four days! Covered deck with a view. The mantle: just add stockings. The kitchen and hidden pantry. The corner cabinet has been left open for seeded glass.

the jewel blog: family fotos, a pumpkin patch, & other fall goodies
http://bijouxjane.blogspot.com/2013/10/family-fotos-pumpkin-patch-other-fall.html
Coffee, water, wine. repeat. Family fotos, a pumpkin patch, and other fall goodies. Saturday we had our family photos taken. Big E's first grade teacher is also a photographer on the side, and former students get a discount - score! It was great to see her again and I'm so excited to see all the photos after the sneak peek we got! This photo captures my babies perfectly. And here's the family shot! This was taken in the pasture just behind our house. I love it back there. Em wears it well anyway. Gnomes,...

the jewel blog: ReStore goodies
http://bijouxjane.blogspot.com/2013/07/restore-goodies.html
Coffee, water, wine. repeat. Habitat ReStore is one of my favorite places for DIY home stuff. They recently posted on facebook that they had received a large donation of new carpet. We were able to pick out a couple rolls that looked pretty good together, and voila! The unfinished basement is now a cozy playroom for the kids. We also got some carpet squares for the steps. It's not all the same pattern, but it goes together pretty well. Labels: home sweet home. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Coffee, water, wine. repeat. Week 11 house progress. The covered deck overhang also got put into place. Can't wait to see the deck on it. As my dad would say, watch that first step, it's a doozy! Week 11: Entry gable and covered deck. We stopped in mid-week this week and took some more pics. How about a roof in a day? Those guys move fast! They also have all the windows in place now. There are 25 windows just on the back, plus two doors you can't see. Helloooo pretty creek and pond view! We took Friday o...

the jewel blog: My awesome two year old.
http://bijouxjane.blogspot.com/2013/08/my-awesome-two-year-old.html
Coffee, water, wine. repeat. My awesome two year old. Miss Em at 2 years, 3 months. She's starting to speak in sentences, and cracks us up with her Italian accent. "I wash-a ma hands! I poop-a da potty! I drink-a ma juice! She loves to dance (a lot! Loves to draw (still calls it "ess" for some reason), loves to play with her baby (whom she has named Baby Julie), and loves to play and wrestle with big brother - always. She can say her alphabet, count down backwards from 10 (blastoff! Icona Pop - I love it.

Coffee, water, wine. repeat. Drywall in a day [week 16]. I seem to have lost track of what week it is on our house updates because we've had a few weeks of little activity. There have been some updates, but nothing too exciting. HVAC, electrical, inspections, septic pond, water line, blah blah blah. All very important for sure, but I'm ready for the pretty stuff now! So I counted and we're at Week 16! Insulation and drywall. The crew managed to hang all the drywall in one day - impressive! However, she's...
