Welcome home

In less than 12 hours a brave set of parents will be coming to visit us. Here are some pictures of what will be greeting them.


Living Room/Dining Room:

These rooms have consumed most of our time these past few months and are our most finished space.




















Kitchen
This room is still on our to-do list. The main progress in this room came when our dining table returned to its place in the dining room (it took up a good amount of the kitchen!).







Bathroom

This room is next on our to-do list (after some last electrical/insurance inspections *ugh*). It may not look too bad in this picture, but creative cropping is hiding a hole in the floor covered with plywood and some holes in the plaster and lathe from our electrician.







Guest Bedroom












This is where my parents will be resting their heads. We patched the holes in the plaster left by our electrician. The trunk in the second picture is an antique we picked up in Vernon (BC) one summer. It's a nice place to put extra blankets for guests.


"Master" Bedroom
Yes, this is where we sleep right now. The channel you see was cut so that we could have a plug in next to our closet that we will probably never use (not to sound bitter or anything...). We'll be fixing it the same way as we fixed up the guest bedroom.

That's all folks!
Here's hoping next year brings more renovation progress.

Below is a picture of our most recent project.. a maze in the snow for Trinity.

Main floor update + picking colors for the guest room

The grate(s) we ordered arrived at The Door Store this past week, so we finished up the flooring and got the majority of the downstairs trim done this weekend. Given that we have a guest room to redo before the holidays this is likely it for the main floor for a bit. We've started making the space a bit festive for the holidays with a tree and some furniture.





The guest bedroom has been on hold for a bit while we finished up the main floor. We had a bit of a rush since our neighbor that lent us most of the tools needed them back today. Tomorrow we'll be starting up with insulation and putting some drywall in the holes. Then it's on to durabond and 2 coats of sheetrock.

We did pick up some paint chips today. Trinity has an eye for color and decided to help us out with our selection.

Sick pooch

Well as luck would have it, 2 days before our drive to Toronto our dog, Trinity is feeling under the weather. We called our vet and he seemed to think it is most likely a muscle sprain of some sort. She's got some pain killers and appears to be on the road to recovery.

Just in case something else goes wrong we're looking for vet recommendations in Toronto. If you know of a good vet please post their contact info!

Onward and eastward...

Well the condo is officially sold now. Packing up and having the movers take everything away has made the past week very hectic!

I guess Trinity was concerned we might leave her behind so she decided to climb into a suitcase to make sure she wouldn't be forgotten.
