Bathrooms!

The bathrooms are coming together this week! I went in last week to pick out linoleum for the two upstairs bathroom. After picking it out I asked when it could be installed. I about fell over when he asked if Monday was OK. You bet! That of course made a long night on Friday for the hubs as he had to finish laying the sub flooring down so it was after 1 am when he got home. He did get to take Saturday off to hang with Miss K and then go to the Wild Game that night!
Friday I was lucky enough to have the day off so I painted the laundry room. What a day off huh? I picked a bright cheery yellow in hopes of me getting “excited” to do laundry! I thought it’d look sharp with the white cabinets and trim that will be going in there.
Monday night after the flooring was laid in the bathroom the hubs went to town. He installed both vanities in the bathrooms and the linen closet that goes in the main bathroom along with some of the light fixtures. I feel like our home is starting to actually feel like a “home”. On Sunday we stopped out and I walked in for the first time and thought “Ahhhh this might actually be ok”.
This is a few boards of our hardwood that also came in. It’s in the house “acclimating” so we can start laying it!
We also officially have an interior door in! And yes, that trim piece is on now, but I was leaving and I wanted a picture before the hubs got it on.
Next week on to the trim and hardwood flooring I hope!

I know what you are goiong through Julie, hubby and I are doing the same here in Houston . I was just amazed at how much dust the wood floors created..live and learn. We are now in the process of getting the vanity, commode and shower finished in the master bath…best of luck to you .
If you don’t mind my asking..what part of Minnesota are you in..My mothers family lived in Winthrop having come over from Sweden and I have family in Rochester, Chanhassen , Hopkins, Duluth , and Edina..small world.

I’m from West Central MN…Morris, MN. Dust from cutting the wood floors or after you laid them and all the dust collected on them? We went lighter than I had wanted because I knew they were going to look dirtier the darker wood I got!
