Goals and accomplishments

Sooo many posts to get to, Vacation, Raspberry picking and Irene among the ones on my mental list, but I have other lists running through my head right now so I figured I would get those out first :)

between Vacation and Hurricane preparations, my to do list kinda over took me so I figured I would stop adding to it every two minutes and just take a minute to step back and breath for a bit, and came up with a list of goals for next month...these things have been on my todo list for forever without a date for completion so I figured if I put a date with them they *might* actually get done

Basement apartment update!

Even as I type this there is more finishing going on downstairs in Grandma's apartment :) but I thought I would share these with you anyway...

Crown molding is going up tonight in the bed room :)


The stove is out of the living room and a couch now sits down there in stead, but you get the picture.


Cassie just loves running around on the carpet since she doesn't have any up here and I don't think she really remembers the old house.

Oh yea and check out the awesome tiled entry way...


Counter still needs to be cut and installed as does the sink and upper cabinets, but you get the picture...

And the hardware Grandma picked out to add a little bling to the kitchen...they came from Target of all places, gotta love that place!
