We certainly
wound down the house construction journey this month. In fact, we’re moving in!!
We were very
excited to have the painters come in and to get some color on the walls. Unfortunately, their execution left a lot to
be desired. They worked over a couple of
days and we believe there was more than one crew. The crew who did the addition painting did a
pretty good job. No major
complaints. The crew who painted the
office and Landen’s room was absolutely TERRIBLE. I couldn’t believe how bad a job they
did. The pictures I took don’t really do
it justice. I spent a lot of time fixing
mistakes and getting the room to a point where I was ok with it. I would have rathered the paint crew came
back and did the job right but they weren’t available and we had
deadlines. That company will never have
our business again.
Office paint
from afar … love the color!
First coat of
blue in the bedroom.
We still
can’t figure out why they didn’t paint the wood attic access.
Here are a
couple of the paint issues. Professional job huh?
Once the
walls were painted we had carpet installed in the bedroom and closet. We thought we had picked a perfect match to
the existing house carpet but we obviously didn’t get a good look at it from the
tiny sample. We like it though. Once the carpet was in we could get the new
furniture arranged and MOVE IN!!!
While we had
our contractors working at the house we asked them to do two other
improvements. When we initially did the
kitchen remodel there was a giant cabinet at the end of the peninsula that
created a lot of wasted space. We asked
if they would install a shelf so that we could use the space better. What a difference! The whole cabinet needs to be organized but
we already love it.
Since the
addition forced us to lose our window in the laundry room we asked if they
could build us some cabinets in its place.
We LOVE all the storage space in the laundry room now. This project was well worth every penny.
And here is a
quick view of what the backyard looks like now with the addition.
Although the
process took much longer than we were expecting, it was really quite easy. Our contractors are great. We love all the new space we have. And going from a 1 to a 2-bathroom house is
nothing short of amazing!
