Bye Bye Brick!

It's been a while since we've given you all an update on what's been going on around the house!  Isaac and I were out of town last week so I took a little break from the blog too.  While we were gone there was still lots of activity going on over at our fixer upper.  Kyle is always hard at work even when I take breaks!  We're finally starting to see some "positive" progress.  All of the demo work is finally done and big things are happening!

Our most noticeable accomplishment to date is definitely getting the brick painted on the outside of the house!  Doesn't it look awesome?!  Our painter did a great job and got the job done insanely fast.  I can't wait to see the color in contrast to the white windows and doors.  Siding will be going up soon! 

Before the brick was painted we had to clean up the outside of the house a little more.  This meant removing the large shrubs and railing from the front of the porch.  When we planed on doing this I didn't expect the difference it would make.  The space looks so much more open and clean.  We'll have to replace the railing at some point but this space will be so much cuter that I expected it to be!

On the inside of the house we've got some progress going on too.  The framing for the laundry room and guest bathroom is officially done!  Dry wall will go up in these rooms soon and we'll really start seeing things come together.

In the kitchen we've finally gotten rid of that black and white checkered floor!  Along with the layer of subfloor that held an awful odor that a previous owner's pet left behind.  Be thankful that pictures don't come scented.

  

In the living room we have light!  Can lights to be exact.  Previously there were no ceiling lights at all in this room.  Thanks to an efficient electrician we will no longer be living in darkness.

And last but certainly not least...our appliances were delivered! Aren't they pretty?? :) I cannot wait until its time to open these beautiful boxes and see the new, clean appliances that I get to cook and clean with!  It will be a good day!

That's all for now!  Don't forget to check back soon to see what else is going on around the house!  I promise an update will come sooner this time!
