since first impressions are everything....since you can only make a first impression once....we purchased a new front door! (the funny part is that right NOW it's not that impressive since you still see a blue house and maroon shutters and broken porch rail all around it, huh?) BUT....i LOVE the door - its' really pretty at night with light behind it (which we established in the previous post we now have plenty of!!). we went ahead and got the door cause we wanted to rekey everything and it seemed to ME like it would be silly to rekey the old door when there were so many pretty options out there.
also got a great start on getting the cabinets painted. they are the benjamin moore fieldstone then i distressed them and glazed them with the ralph lauren smoke glaze and sealed them. couple of sections are totally finished already. i really like them!
floor are also in upstairs in the bedrooms and in the front room downstairs.....and i really like them! can't wait to see things more finished/polished....
things are moving along....slowly....very slowly....but we have a plan and we're making progress. i am still soooooo very proud of the kids and how willing they are to help! megan stepped on a board last week and two nails went thru her foot. it was so bad that as she hopped over to sit down the board actually stuck to her foot!!! before she could get her shoe off it had literally filled with blood. it was scary! but she's up to date on her shots and when we called the dr. he said to keep it clean and watch for infection. she limped for two days but no infection and it's all better now. she had a great attitude about it....ALL of the kids have been wonderful!!! it's fun to spend time laughing with them! we're creating all kinds of memories!!! =D
