January House Update

We have been so crazy I haven't had time for much blogging lately. But here a fast run down of our past month.  Minor issues left us putting off packing until the last minute, packed one house into two houses(harder than it sounds), visited with my parents who were in from Panama, unpacking (still), trying to find things (still), Christmas, New Years, and now it's time to get down to some serious work on the new place. 

We are still getting things done in the new place.  Just to name a few... New plumbing is mostly installed, working toilet, electric is back on, rewired most of the electric, a few walls are framed in the basement, working on getting pocket doors installed in the master bath and closet, functioning fireplace, driveway expanded and leveled, and security system installed and working. 

The thing I'm super excited about right now is the new fireplaces that are going on the back!  They will use one chimney and one will be on the outdoor patio (The lower patio) and the other will be in the sunroom that's going to be built soon(upper patio).  My super talented uncle is going to be doing this for us as soon as the weather starts to cooperate.  I know it's going to look amazing and I can't wait to see the finished work.  Also the brick walls on the upper patio were torn off.

 We should have working HVAC this week! Yay, for no more nightly trips to start a fire!

Another thing I'm excited about is this...

It's a beautiful antique buffet that is going to be the master bathroom vanity!  I have a tulip vessel sink and gorgeous facet that is going to look amazing!  I'll probably paint it white and keep the oval pulls.  I know some will think it's a crime to paint such a gorgeous piece, but I think it will hold up better to water splashes. This is my inspirational picture from pintrest for the project!

I'm really excited because i LOVE this and mine is similar.  We decided not to do a double sink like this one because we feel space might be an issue.  

Lots of stuff happening!
