Wallls and Insulation and Paint Colors!

Alright! So the updates just keep coming at full speed now. Snow in the attic? Nope our new blown in insulation to keep our electic and gas bills down, although I'm still for using as much natural gas as possible! Ha had to add that one in :).




And our contractor has done it again! Instead of stressing us out with tile choices in the upstairs bathroom (the tiny one that we were having issues with earlier), he found us a unit that fits (granted after he removed the water pipe that had been in the corner making the room even more oddly shaped if that is possible!). Okay yes it's a little small, but it'll just be motivation to stay in shape so we can fit in the shower :).

And more new windows!! We decided to add a couple more to the back room since it's going to be a sun room/breakfast nook. It gets the eastern morning sun and it adds to our awesome view of downtown (well at least in winter when there aren't a bunch of leaves on the trees in the yard hahah).

And from the inside! Yes look at the lovely view of umm our trim and our unfinished shed. Ha ha I guess it'll give us motivation to work on the yard! One of my new year's resolutions is learning how to garden, so here we go: more reason to learn in 2010!
And just another picture of our beautiful walls and arches!! Also if you look closely in the front of the picture you can see the bottom layer of the floor for our soon to be AWESOME kitchen! Soon we'll have our tile layed and our cabinets in as long as we don't get some other random snow storm that stops them from shipping!


And . . . what you've all been waiting for . . . a really bad photograph of the colors that are going on our walls! Okay so I couldnt' figure out a good way to do this so you'll just have to use your imagination a little bit :). From left to right and top to bottom: back sun room, kitchen, front living room, trim (the little piece in the middle of the row), upstairs bathroom, upstairs room, dining room, hallway and guest bedroom, downstairs bathroom and master bedroom (don't worry it is blue even if it doesn't look like that in the picture haha).


And we picked out all our light fixtures! Pics coming soon . . . when I'm not falling asleep and needing to shower from the gym and getting distracted by the Colbert Report in the background on the TV . . .
