Hike up your skirts

We've got all the skirt boards in...and they are mighty fine. But first a little about our lazy Saturday...


My pumpkin is the VW Bus and Steve's is Mater from the movie Cars (at top right)

Steve and I decided to take a lazy day Saturday and go to the pumpkin patch and a Halloween pumpkin carving party.  It was so nice to...

We've got floors

Authors: Bungalow13

So excited to show you some pictures of our new floors.  We had our Marmoleum (color Eiger) installed on Friday.  We went through Paulson's and had a really good experience.  Even found a  $100 off coupon on their website that I was able to use!


We had metal wrapped on the stair edges to keep with the vintage...

I love contractors

Authors: Bungalow13

Not all contractors make me feel this way.  But today I do. 



We had Ben from Advanced Hardwood Floors ((360) 513-7905) arrive this morning to install basement stair risers and treads.  Last night we were working until 9:30pm to install the skirt boards on the basement stairs.  This was after I work up at 6am...

Paint help

Authors: Bungalow13

Dear Bungalow Enthusiasts,

  Looking for a little help with paint colors this morning.  I just realized that it would be in our best interest to paint the stairwell that goes up to our attic this weekend.  Why?  Because right now we wouldn't have to tape anything off, and I mean anything.  We have yet to...

End in Sight

Authors: Bungalow13

 We have definite progress since the weekend.  There really is an end in sight.  We even fit in a party and a trip to the pumpkin patch over the weekend!




 By Sunday night at 10pm we had in our subfloor.  The product is Eurocco (spelling?)-it's a super smooth 1/2" ply made for subfloors-we got it from...

We got a sneak peak at our new cabinets tonight. They are so much better than I even could have imagined and I am just so excited to have them in and painted.

Drywall

Authors: Bungalow13


Well, we have drywall and a huge dusty mess on our hands.  I can't believe just how fast these people are at installing drywall-it is crazy!  I think they did a great job hanging everything despite being 4 hours late yesterday and late to return again this morning (I guess they usually are dealing with construction...

D DAY

Authors: Bungalow13

After an extremely busy and exhausting weekend working on the kitchen, today is the day.  We finally are getting drywall.  This that means that there is an end in sight.  And I would love to say I am crazy giddy about that but I think I am too tired to be giddy right now. 
Friday morning started with the...

Lay it all out...

Authors: Bungalow13

As promised, here's some of the fun kitchen stuff....
pictures of our new faucet and sprayer.  I just can't wait until it is installed.  Just a few more weeks :)


I just love all the lines and the soft arch of the faucet.  I really hope that the cross handles work...if they don't, we can order lever handles instead

Here's...
