Floors Complete!

After having to rip up the yellow office floor due to water (flooding from the air conditioner), we've finally finished both the yellow room and green baby's room. Can you believe there'll be a baby in there in four months? We have a lot to do to get some baby furniture in there.

But, here's the work we've done in the past week and a half:

First, the baby's room with the hardwood floor. And, yes, baby clothes are already in the closet.

While it looks like we have two different color greens in there, it really the light and sun that makes it look more lime green in the second picture.
We also got the guest room together more and have a white metal framed queen bed in there and I found a great silvery gray bedspread at Ross.


A close-up view. It needs a little ironing or steaming to get out the wrinkles.
And we also put together a white dresser in the guest room as well. Now I have to stop using it to hold stuff and actually decorate it with some silver candlesticks and a silver mirror above. And of course fill it with some extra clothes.
Here's the completed office once again. We've started moving the computers and printers in, but it also became a catch all for our extra chairs.
The new and last kitchen counter with our full dining room set.
Now that most of the big work is done, I have to work on unpacking all of the boxes and putting it all away. Then paint a few closet doors to hide all of our stuff!

Updates over the last two weeks

With the long weekend, we were able to get quite a bit of work done. We're in the final push before Gene heads to Atlanta for awhile and the housework is left to me. Here are a few updates of things that have happened in the last few weeks.
Right before we left for Alaska we got our dining room table and three chairs. We're supposed to have six, but three had scratches on them so we're hoping that we'll get replacements when I take these back. But here's what the kitchen/dining room looks like now.
We also were able to get in our long butcher block countertop in the kitchen.
Also, here's what the finished purple room looks like. Ignore all the boxes it's holding for right now as we finish the floors in the other rooms.
We were also able to paint the baby's room:
And finally we were able to get a queen boxspring for the mattress that our friends gave to us. While at the store I also found some cute lamps.
