Finally Starting

DH and I closed 2.5 weeks ago but only a few days later my father passed away so we have been in a holding pattern since then. We finally got started this weekend with the renovations and it feels really good Chat Icon

We have 2 guys in there replastering the cracks in the walls (we didn't realize they were in as poor condition as they are since the woman had her crap everywhere). Yesterday we ordered our cabinets from the kitchen plans I made, ordered a tub and a toilet (who knew there was so much choice in a toilet Chat Icon), and our kitchen tiles (we're doing natural slate Chat Icon). We found the bathroom tiles (tumbled marble) for a great price at home depot but at that point we had been going allllll day and we'd have to go through each box to make sure they were the right colors, etc so we'll have to go back to get that next week sometime.

Anyway, just wanted to share Chat Icon

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. You and your family are in my prayers. I love your choices in tile. It sounds like your new home will be beautiful. Congrats!

Re: Finally Starting

Thanks everyone!

Luckily it's not all DIY. We have a contractor to do the bathroom and he's going to do the kitchen floor as well as close off one of the 2 kitchen entrances for us. But we purchased IKEA cabinets (god, you canNOT beat their prices!) and will be building them and installing them ourselves, as well as doing all the painting, etc.

And we will DEFINITELY be taking a ton of pictures. We actually decided we're going to do a book from mypublisher.com for all of the before/after pictures so we can have it forever and also maybe to use to help sell it in the future.
