House Updates

I've been watching entirely too much HGTV lately, so I'm under this jaded assumption that any house renovation comes together quickly and perfectly every time.  I figured we'd move in, get to work, and be done with everything in a couple of weeks.  HA.  Yeah, that hasn't happened.

Luckily we did hire the pros to come in and spruce up our kitchen, so that's obviously where the most progress has been made.  It's still missing a backsplash and pendant lights that should come in next week, but holy moly what a difference.  I've also added a couple of photos from the very beginning stages so you can get an idea of the progress that's been made.  I'm in love with our new counters!

And here's where we sit on our to do list:
Kitchen
Remove linoleum and replace with hardwoods Remove wallpaper Replace light fixture with two pendants Install can lights Replace all appliances Kitchen island re-installed New back splash New counters installed Paint Walls (Sherwin-Williams Agreeable Gray) Install shutters/blinds/window treatments Install window seat Change out cabinet and drawer pulls

We have also started to change out the flush mount lights in the house.  I had a hard time finding ones that I liked, but finally found two styles which were perfect for what we need. One lantern style from Wayfair for our foyer, and an octagonal style from Home Depot for the hallway upstairs and our laundry room.  Here's a little before and after shot of the Wayfair lanterns.  Now I can't wait to get that yellow off the walls, I think the lights will look even better once the walls are more of a neutral gray.

Hope y'all have a great weekend!
