it has only taken 17 months...

*This post dedicated to my dear AJ working the night shift tonight*


Got back from Nantucket this past weekend... I went with the family I work for. Year #4! Started out with two kids the first year, now we're up to four... hope there's not a trend forming here!

We have basement progress! Ryan has been working so hard the past few months. He tore out all of the old drywall, put up new framing and re-drywalled (not sure if that's a word), and totally redid the bathroom. My parents came out last weekend and helped us a lot, too. There is still so much to do... but I have to say it looks a million times better (not to mention smells better). For your viewing pleasure...

before & after.. our "work area"


I wish we still had the sweet vintage wet bar... ignore the toilet parts laying all over the floor and the cats who refused to get out of the shots


be prepared to lounge


I begged Ryan to keep the black toilet... and I'm so in love with the new vanity!



the day we closed (April 07)

the man himself, so humble

woot!

  4. PLEASE tell me that's a bidet you put in there. There's nothing more serene than sitting on the toilet and only having to wipe...

    I'll save this for another time.
