Notes from the trenches
Having taken forever to get back to the blog and make an update (that statement isn't really news anymore, is it?) we should like to have a good deal more progress to report than we actually do. We've spent the last month painting, working on things other than the house and trying to come to terms with Mark's obsessive desire to have a kitchen that doesn't totally suck to cook in.
The upstairs looks much like it did in the pictures below with the exception of a few scattered clothes and a nifty new platform bed. Mark added the drawers to the closet but hasn't figured out how to do the drawer faces in an interesting manner yet. We also finally found a style of drapes that we like at target. Unfortunately they only had one, so we have half drape, half mat board window coverings - classy.
The single biggest change to date has been the fireplace mantle. We once thought it was beyond salvation but it's been saved. Jen spent a day painting it and the ugly mantle that made us want to throw up is actually pretty acceptable. We need to figure out a good idea to replace the fake brick with something nicer, but that's a fairly low priority.
Stay tuned for more progress and cross your fingers for us. If the taxman is nice we'll have a kitchen soon and you're all invited for hommade pizza!
