The most exciting part was getting our kitchen lighting installed by Jeremy's brother-in-law.
I can't stop staring. And switching the lights on and off.
One light we can't switch on and off is the FADO in the breakfast nook. It's wired in without a switch... we'll get that taken care of soon enough.
So in order to get to the attic to hard wire in the cabinet lighting I had to remove all my clothes from the hall closet.
Awww.
Meanwhile, we entertained the rest of the family in the living room by playing Dance Dance Revolution on the xBox and Wii sports on the Wii.
Meet Corbin (almost 5) and Ford (just turned 3). Their dad and Jeremy were installing the lighting while we partied in the living room.
After all that hard work we passed out on our new huge couch (which I promise to photograph and post sometime this week) while watching a discovery channel documentary on deadly jelly fish. Then we managed to wrangle the crew and have a BBQ and movie watching party (again on the huge couch). A pre-housewarming test run, if you will (and I think you will).
The next day we took our nephews out to a small water park in Edmond.
Here's Jeremy with Corbin & Ford. Everyone's expressions in this photo cracks me up.
And here's my nephew.
Meet Charlie (just turned 4).
We all had a fantastic time and escaped with just a smidge of sun and a few freckles on our shoulders.

Love your kitchen! The tile is beautiful. -Julia :-)
ReplyDeleteI popped over to your blog via Tearing Up Houses and just spent the last 45 minutes or so perusing your archives. Your blog is fantastic and I love the renovations you have accomplished. Thankfully you discovered the bathroom floor situation before you moved in (can you imagine going through all that after you moved in?!).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I have to take a break in reading your blog toady (otherwise I may not get anything done today seeing that I'm still in your 2008 files) but I will be back soon to finish my perusing. You've got a great eye and love your design work!
Thank you for the compliments! The bathroom floor was a total nightmare. It's not so bad in hindsight but I remember feeling so overwhelmed - it was just one thing after another. I was so relieved when our toilet was finally installed the day before moving in.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found me (and that I have now found your blog!)
