.~Behind The Scenes~.
Shout out to these two BIG helpers💕The kids LOVE helping out around the house. We are very family oriented. So if they want to learn and help, all of us very much encourage it!!
As I catch up all of you on what we have done so far you will notice them helping every step of the way❤️

.~Today~.
Here are what the cabinets look like as of today😍 The doors were hung today🎉 Prior to this they were primed. Josh also sprayed them with his paint machine twice & they were rolled by hand once!
They just need one more final rolled coat on the doors & the top caninets are done!! Yes as you can see only the tops were painted.. Why? The bottom cabinets will be a different color😃
Ask me how much Doug likes Oak??🤣 In the last two days I've heard Doug tell me how much he hates oak probably 100 times!! I keep reminding him once it's all coated it will look so good & oak is solid.. oak is good!!😅
Trial and error to line these doors up to be hung.. what a process!! Drilling new holes for the new hardware. Realizing how much hinges move once you screw them flat😅 Oh & don't forget to put a gap between where the two cabinets meet so they can open and close😉
We learned alot.. not something I want to do again anytime soon🤣 Josh keeps reminding me of "how much money we saved doing it this way"🤪 But all joking aside I'm pretty proud of all of us! It's really coming along & looking pretty slick😍

Adding the crown molding on the top of the cabinets to finish them off! There was also alot of sanding, wood filing & touch ups along the way!
Peak the new hardware😍 A couple snaps I sent Doug once they came in!

.~French Cleat~.
Doug got the idea that we should use a french cleat to hang the cabinets because it would be easier, "you just slide them on the wall"🤣 Yeah no.. nothing is that easy!! BUT it did help keep the cabinets in line and looking pretty straight. Nothing in an older home is straight or square due to settling which makes finishing a bit tricky!
Once we got them all square on the wall we needed to cover the ends to hide the french cleat and give them a nice finished look. So we called in back up! My brother-in-law Ryan came to help us out as he's a way better finisher than we are😅 We used a few MDF sheets to cap off the ends of the cabinets, we just cut them down to fit.
We also boxed in the light that will hang over the sink!

Let's Talk Kitchen Cabinets!
What an adventure these cabinets have been.. I didn't realize how far behind I was on updating you guys on these until I looked back at all the work we've done with them🤯
Let's start from the beginning! These cabinets were one of the first things we bought for this house. We bought them off the buy and sell before the house sale was even official.. Crazy we know but when you see a good deal you jump on it! Plus we are WAY to stubborn to take no for an answer so this house was ours😝
We started by configuring the cabinets in the kitchen trying to figure out the best layout. Once we figured that out Josh built a little pony wall where the dish washer would slide in. As you can see in one of the photos we had to cut out a large chunk of the drywall to run some of the electrical. Since than it has been re-drywalled and patched back up!

Well in our last post we explained that the next step for the floor was to be sealed with primer!
That got done this afternoon!! (1st pic- master bedroom, 2nd pic- livingroom, 3rd pic- second bedroom). Josh still needs to level the floor a bit more in the kitchen so that was the one room that didn't get primed.
This evening Josh sprayed first coat color on our kitchen cabinets & while he waited for the paint to dry he started laying down the flooring😍 He sent me a couple pictures to show me how well it looked! So exciting😁 The last pic is of the flooring so far in the master bedroom!
We are all LOVING how well all the colors are coming together!!

Leveling The Floor!
Well as you all know this is an older house and with older homes comes settling so in order for us to make the floor as smooth as possible we needed to level out the big dip in the middle of the house!
It was definitely a process!
-First off we cut wood to make a border around the edges where we wanted the concrete to stop.
- Before pouring the concrete we needed to seal the floor with primer in the area we were going to pour the concrete. The floor is OSB plywood and the concrete wouldn't stick well to it and there was a possibility it would swell since the OSB could obsorb it.
-Once the primer dried Josh poured & leveled the concrete in stages to build up the slope. So now all our flooring will flow nicely between all the rooms!
Our next step will be sealing the entire floor/concrete in with primer before laying the flooring down!

& Let's skip to my favorite part😍
We TEXTURED yesterday🎉 This is my absolute favorite part of the whole process!! I've always loved when a house gets textured. It just brings it all together & looks so good😍
There have been ALOT of steps between when I updated you guys last & where we are now. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to bring everyone up to speed. I'm thinking a house tour followed by photos I've taken along the way🤔... Stay tuned!

I can't believe it's only been a year since we had this crazy dream we wanted to pursue & here we are doing it!!
This year I am thankful for these two that share the same dream I do. That are just as determined as I am to chase it. No matter the obstacles thrown in our way!
Over the last few months we realized that keeping everyone updated on our social media is not our strong suit😅 But don't worry we have been plucking away behind the scenes! Summer is always a crazy time for all of us but with it coming to a end we're hoping to pick back up in this area. We have some exciting things coming your way! So stay tuned😄
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone🦃 We appreach you all💛 & hope you got to spend some time with your loved ones!

Who's Says You Can't Have FUN & get things DONE!!
Earlier this week we were in a bit of a "heat wave"🌞🌊 So I brought over the little pool for the kids to stay cool😎
We re-sheeted the back side of the house with plywood, reset the window & tyveked that side. We also got the second coat of kitchen paint on!
We also slipped in a mini water fight with the kids💦

WE HAVE WATER💦
I think the biggest victory today is that we FINALLY have running water at the house🎉 I've never been so excited to have a working toilet!!🚽 Don't get me wrong I'm a country girl but you can't just go squat in your wide open back yard in town🤣
So we figured out today there was clearly a communication error between us and the Village workers🤪 We thought they opened the line when it was all iced up but they didn't! They were waiting for us to call them again when it defrosted and be there when they turned it on🤦‍♀️
REGARDLESS we are all so happy to have water & relieved all the new & the old plumbing is working great so far!!
