So it’s been a bit silent around here lately. This summer has been a whirlwind with vacations, the kids out of school and of course working on houses! We bought this house at the beginning of summer just a few months ago….and we did most of the work ourselves- well mostly Josh. Finding good contractors has been difficult lately- we’ve had some terrible luck. So, we decided we would do the work. After all, we did kind of miss doing it. Not anymore– HA! It’s tough though when you both have full time jobs and 2 kids in activities- where is the time? Well, weekends and late nights is what it’s been. It’s been extremely difficult and time consuming, but fun and rewarding as well. Josh has worked his butt off and I’m very proud of how this turned out.

What do you think? We had fun with the shiplap and probably my favorite, the hexagon tile floors- did you spot them in the bathrooms?
On to the next one…yes, we just closed on another house that Josh is planning to do most of the work on himself. Guess this one must not have been so bad after all. I just hope to see him before midnight for the remainder of our summer. Maybe I’ll be able to get some before pictures posted soon. I haven’t even seen the house yet! ๐
