blog on the back burner

as you can see, i've taken a break from blogging. we closed on our house on june 9th and have been crazily renovating ever since. here's a sample of what's the closet to being completed. our tile guy should be wrapping up tomorrow and a few other things have no option but to be done by the end of this week so hopefully i'll have some more thrilling pictures for you. here's a slight before and (not quite) after from our little house straight out of 1957...as well as a before shot of the kitchen. don't worry, the yellow is going. all of it. although, i did contemplate keeping the wall oven for a little vintage charm. 

                   



i thought it was funny that i ended up doing basically a slightly more up to date version of the octagon tile that was already in this bathroom. i like mine better though. and, as a bonus, new = clean.

Hooooray! So happy you're in and getting to work, there's nothing like your !st home. I love the new bathroom and cant wait to see what you do in the kitchen...fun fun! ps- you're smart to hire out for tile guys etc...we've never been do-it-ourselfers...and don't plan on it :) Why take the extra time to study up how to do something, buy tools that you'll use once to do a job that won't really look that great? haha.

The first word that comes to mind when I see your kitchen is "Sexy!"
So happy for you and your new house and all your projects and adventures. Not like you weren't already crazy busy, right? CONGRATULATIONS on the new place.
