Paint..and floor is refinished!

This post is about 2 weeks old. I just never got around to uploading pictures. Now, we have lighting as well. YES! We walk in the house and flip a switch and LIGHT! I know that should be totally normal, but we've had this house for close to 2 years now and had to rush to Somerville on Fridays to be sure and get there before dark so we'd have light to see it. So thank you Benjamin Franklin. You and electricity rock.

I will try to post those pics soon, too, but for now we have paint and floors. Woop! And, finally, I'm able to say that we'll be LIVING in this house in the next month. I think we may spend the night there this weekend. We can't move furniture in, yet, because there is still a final floor coating that has to happen after the final paint touch ups after the final electrical stuff and after the final plumbing. Sounds like a lot, but it's really not much at all! Just a few more weeks!

The den (there is our fan in a box)

kitchen! and the paper path the tiling guy made to the bathroom. Looks like a trail we made in our kitchen:)

color! (well, neutral)

our dining room (with chandelier in a box)

yay to da yayaaaa! we haven't had the stairs all the way stained, yet, but they'll match the floor.

i'm in love. This was the chandelier I picked out for the library/piano room/one day nursery. Matt told me to handle it, and I went with pearls. I love pearls. I'm a pearl over diamond girl. Don't get me wrong; the chandeliers out there with the bling bling prisms are beautiful, too, but this one is an instant calm for me. ahhhh.

It's getting so close, and I'm so very excited. Move in couldn't come at a more perfect time. Fall is my favorite. I can't wait to put mums and pumpkins all over the porch. Maybe we won't have 1 piece of furniture in the house, but we're bringing in the blow up bed and moving in by October.
