This stage of our remodel is so exciting. Since there are 2-4 men working at our house each day, we never know what "newness" we will find when we stop by. It feels like Christmas morning every time we open our front door. On Monday night, Mark wanted me to stop by with him because he was hoping the floors would be done. He unlocked the front door, walked in, and was looking down at the floors. He was so excited that that were sealed and shiny. At the same time, I walked in and looked across the room to see the green wall in the kitchen had been painted. About the same time that he said, "These floors look great"... I said, "Wow! They painted!" We couldn't even focus on the same thing.
Then on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday, they started putting in the kitchen cabinets. They are trying to get these in now before they continue to paint the rest of the house, so we can keep our counter tops templated and ordered. For not having any idea of what we wanted or knowing how to remodel, we are continually excited at how our choices look!

| Right side of kitchen where the dishwasher and fridge will be. |
Today we stopped by again on our way to our small group to see the progress. We discovered tile in the bathroom floor and doors being hung in the bedrooms. Again, we are very pleased with the choices!

| We picked three panel doors for all of the bedrooms and basement. |

| Tile floor in the bathroom all set! |

On Wednesday, we picked out paint colors for the basement, light fixtures, closet designs, and looked at the final counter top choices! We've almost sound like we know what we are talking about now. We've decided that the guys at Lowe's and Brookside Lumber might not run away when they see us coming because we actually understand what we are doing or looking for!
It still looks like we have about 3 weeks of progress left, so we are not anticipating the house being done before Baby Ansley arrives. However it does look like we should be able to be moving back in around the end of October! We ask that you continue to pray for us through this next two months of CRAZY transition in our lives. We are excited about the journey of becoming parents and finishing the house, but know that it could be overwhelming. Thanks for all the love and prayers!
Becca, everything looks so GREAT! I love the mixture of large and small tiles on the bathroom floor, love the 3 panel doors, love the cabinets in the kitchen and that the fridge got moved to the right side! I hope you are both still very excited about the changes/updates! I know this has just been a very difficult roller coaster of emotions, and we are praying that it continues to go smoothly over the next month or so!!!
