We moved into our remodeled house on New Years Day....quite exhausting to say the least! We didn't have a lot of functioning things, but now that it has been a full week...I am thrilled to say that we have mostly all of our kitchen installed (appliances and granite), 2/3 bathrooms completed, all the baseboards and trims, and lots of lots of garbage and boxes piled up in our garage.
Why am I surrounded by men you may ask? Well, because we moved in early, the workers have been coming in everyday to complete their tasks. It's not such a bad thing if you don't mind being the only female with 8-10 male workers (strangers to say the least!!!) and home-bound all day long. You just never know who might take something, not finish their job completely or have questions about certain things.
It was a rough day yesterday b/c with our kitchen out of commission, Wesley, Austin and I were toy-room bound ALL DAY! Have you tried to entertain two toddlers in one room for 12 hours???Not fun or practical. I also have been keeping the house at a cool 68 degrees
since the workers come in and out the doors as they please, as does the heat in the house. I haven't even started to explain the MESS of grout, dust, water or dirt that has been piled up b/c of them.Needless to say, I am SO SO SO happy to finally unpack and be in my spacious house. My BBF Arianne Pearce came for a last minute visit at 1am all the way from Phoenix to help (with her three kids and hubby) us unpack and get set up. She is a professional organizer and more than anything, such a blessing in my life to come and get me set up. I wish I could have provided at least a shower for them! They left in a hurry, but their help and love was priceless.
I hope to finally get internet/computer set up this week....which means I can include pics from the last 6 months....before and after the remodel...and thousands of dollars later!!! ugh...
So far my favorite part of my house is not only having a faucet with a sprayer, but of course the garage access, washer and drier...and being able to unpack things from two years ago!!!

How fun!!! The new house, not entertaining the kids in a room for 12 hours. I am so excited to see pics of your new home. I hope there will be before and after shots. I love stuff like that. I'm curious to get the specs on your house. You NEVER responded to my email about your details on your Surprise home. Has it sold???

I don't know how you lived out of boxes for so long. I'm sure your new home is worth it, and I can't wait to see pictures! Love you!
