Moving

So now that Mike and I have moved downstairs (See previous post), we had a LOT more space upstairs to spread out! So, this is what we did...

New light in the dining room (kinda blurry...)

No more toys in the Living room!

The boy's old room is now our computer room...(More details to come)

The boys are now in our old room, and Garett is in the crib!

And the boys in their new room now. They are all in the same room

We are still waiting for the baby monitor that we ordered yesterday to come, so I can sleep better downstairs knowing that I can hear them and help them if needed.

Next for our little house, moving the desk, computer and movies from the dining room into the boy's old room and now the new office/craft room and then cleaning out the other room that is done in the basement and setting it up to become Gavin's room (he is SO EXCITED to move down there with us!)

Dining Room Update

We bought a new dining room table that we could all sit at and that wasn't ruined for our new dining room. We took everything out of the dining room and now have the table and 6 chairs and a new smaller desk for the computer. It is still a work in progress, but it is coming along.

New Chairs

Kitchen and Dining Room Remodel

We are on a Remodel Roll at our house...

We got our tax return at the end of February.  At the beginning of March we set out to find some wood flooring that we liked and that wouldn't break the bank.  We ended up at Lumber Liquidators and found the perfect flooring that was only $1.29 Square Foot.  It is a discontinued flooring, but that's okay.  We ordered 270 Square feet hoping our math was correct and we would have enough.

The wood came in on Friday the 13th of March, so we went to pick it up and started our demolition.  On Saturday, we started laying the wood at about 1 pm and stapling it into the floor.  Thanks for the help Chuck and Glen we finally finished the kitchen at around 9pm Saturday night.  On Sunday we started in the dining room.  It went a lot faster in the dining room and we were done with it about 7pm on Sunday.  Then we had to put everything back and clean up.

I am so proud of us for doing this.  We did it all on our own with a little bit of help and we did it all in one weekend with 3 crazy boys to entertain.  At the beginning of the year, I told Mike that I was sick and tired of moping my kitchen floor because it didn't ever get clean.  So we made the plan to update our floor, and we stuck with in and did it.  And it only cost us about $600.  I love my floor now!
