We're still working... I promise!

I feel like because I haven't posted I haven't been very productive in getting this house together, but I promise it's not true!  We did get hung up on some black mold and trying to seal up some windows.  And unfortunately after getting that all patched we haven't broken paint out again yet.




I did pull out the tree and put it together basically.  I'm still working on a few more ornaments I need to spray paint and modge podge.  But this is basically it at the moment.  I'm not even too worried about hurrying to finish because we don't have kids and I know Chaynce doesn't care how bare the tree looks ornament-wise.  Really Chaynce has opened his present already (he's a spoiled little boy) and it's already on one of the new dresser/media stand in our room (he got a new 50" flat screen)
But that means we did get one dresser sanded and stained and all that.  The drawers, however, he is working on as I type.  With the below freezing temps lately we were too cold to work outside and were worried paint/stain would freeze and such.  But with the weather improving we should have the dresser totally finished by the end of this week I think.

More paint progress...

We finished the back half of the main room last night.  And while switching all the furniture back to the other side Chaynce smashed the light fixture.  It is literally demolished! Ha!  I'm not worried, it was some cheap old thing that didn't even match the other one in the room, sometime I'll replace it but it's on the end of the to-do list around here.  The color we chose was "creamy pebbles" by Better Homes and Gardens.  It's a kind of greige color although I don't know how much you can tell in these pictures.

Maybe I'll start the front half/entryway today.... maybe.... but besides that we just have baseboards in the kitchen and around the shower stall in the bathroom and we're done with paint!!!!
