My husband and I have been saving the last several months for a home improvement project...Thinking it wouldn't be a monumental task, we hoped to have it done before our next baby came (mid-March). Since that time we have been saving, talking a little about what we expect/want, and thinking it could be done in a timely manner. About a week ago, we decided that we needed to just start, even if we didn't get a whole lot done right away. We could at least start with purchasing some of the supplies. So, this past weekend, we passed our nearly two-year-old off on her grandparents (lucky them!!), and we started.
Here is our progress...
New hardware for the cupboards. I started doing this and got most of it done, but the new hinges were a little deeper than our old ones, so Kevin had to do some drilling.
Working more on taking the old plastic tiles off of the walls. We learned through an internet search that heat helps to take the adhesive off the walls. So, here is Kevin trying to use our bathroom heater to test that. It really does work. It makes for a little quieter job as well, so we can do it while Kj is sleeping!
We also purchased our new faucet and some new towel rods. All very exciting. We even found flooring that we like. Now to order that, and figure out if we or someone else will be installing it!
It is crazy how exciting buying these items is when you are a homeowner. I never thought I would get so excited about drawer handles, faucets, and linoleum! :)
