Back to the Living Room!

Happy Easter weekend!!  A quick post today but wanted to post pics of the hardwood that went in a couple of weeks ago.  I took the pics from my phone and it seems that the resolution isn't the greatest but you get the point, right?!


 I am surprisingly bummed with the resolution but we are loving this hardwood!!

Our cat has given her stamp of approval and loving the new space and rug, here she is rolling around on the rug (note to self - fix the ripples in the rug)


I won't subject you to any more pics as these didn't come out so well unfortunately.  This weekend, we will be working on the bathroom on the main floor which will hopefully be fully functional by weekends end...woot! And by we, I mean Derik as I go for a mani pedi and shop for furniture :-) Have a great weekend!!

Pot lights and a bucket o' glass

Short post this evening - we have made some progress since the beam was removed a couple of weekends ago.  The City Inspector came gave their approval yesterday which means we can continue to finish the main floor.  The potlights are now up (this is the view from outside the kitchen) in both the front room/tv room and dining room which is in the back.  


We did finish off the shower in the main floor bathroom last weekend and were hoping to get the glass door installed but unfortunately there was a mishap.....


and this is now what is left of the shower door:



My heart sank when I saw the door in thousands of pieces but unfortunately there is nothing that we can do and now I have new door that should be going in this weekend...cross fingers.....when i look at this glass it reminds of the Consumer probe skit/Bag O'Glass skit with Dan Akroyd...maybe we could package this up like Mainway Inc, and sell it to kids so that they can learn about light refraction and prisms...lol.


 So that's it for this week, we are getting the beam boxed in and hope to start the hardwood next weekend #civilizedlivingaroundthecorner.

Have a great weekend!!
