Love it Good for you girl. Gives me hope. We just bought a house and have a little one on the way. We don't have any major renovation to do, but lots of projects that need doing before baby comes. You give me hope it can be done!

There's nothing like a little one for some MAJOR motivation lol

Tell me about it! I'm due 4 months from tomorrow and that feeling of panic is starting to set in! We really need to get moving and get things done. There's some major changes coming our way lol

Wow, you guy's are really doing a gut job! It will be so nice when you're all done. There no better feel of satisfaction then when it's all done and you can sit back and relax, put your feet up, have a look around and say "We did this"!

Make sure you keep the pictures coming of your progress.......in-between diaper changes, feedings, sleep routines, and all the other stuff that always gets in our way

We have some painting going on lol and some floor ready to be put down. Luke's room is navy blue. Ours is actually a really nice brown although it looks grey in the picture. The house is also being rewired at the moment lol. We also will not have a kitchen for six weeks. HAHA this is going to be fun!!

Tearing down all three walls on the main floor to open it up. The whole house is also being rewired, which should be done today. We have moved in now and are sleeping downstairs on a mattress on the floor till we get the bedrooms upstairs done, and I am trying not to freak out because I don't know where any of my stuff is lol.

agh!!! No kitchen for six weeks Anne? That would put me into a coma. The painted rooms look nice. Pics never do it justice but I know what you mean with the true look of the colour in person. So I guess I'd be wearing the same few change of clothes until this is done.....hope you can find " your stuff " lol

looking great girl! Ii give you credit for trying to live in the house while it's being renovated, especially a major renovation like that. I've done it a few times, but finally gave in every time when they started sanding the drywall. That fine dust gets everywhere. We had the kids coughing and I was positive that dust was getting into our food, even though we had it all plasticed ??? off and were in the basement. When we were done, the second time, I had all the vents vacuumed out and it was amazing all that fine dust from the drywall that accumulates in the heating system.

Make sure you get the vents cleaned out when your done. Otherwise, you'll be dusting forever, every time the furnace comes on, that fine dust will blow everywhere.

Love that blue!!

Keep on plugging Anne--even if you can't find your stuff. Hell, my house is finished and I can't find my darned stuff most days. LOL

It will look fantastic once it is finished AND what a great story you can tell to the little one. You're making unforgettable memories right now. Enjoy it!
