A finished room!! (well... mostly finished)

We decided that we needed one room "done". I'll try to post better pictures later.

Basement

all those little black spots - yeah they are mouse droppings. Click on the picture if you don't believe me!

The basement was/is a mess. We are pretty much leaving it until we can really redo it, but due to the cat and the amount of mouse dropping, it had to be cleaned. It took me three sweepings, pulling up the tiles and then another sweep and two vacumns to be remotely clean. I wore a mask and I am still wheezy from it (a good week later).

Hard at work

My parents have pretty much done our entire house, withough them we wouldn't have been able to move in when we did. A few pictures of everyone hard at work. (hmm, declan seems to be doing the most work!)

Bathroom

Oh the bathroom, how I hate thee!! The bathroom is still a disaster, we have figured out how to tide it over until the spring when it will become our first major project. For your enjoyment here is the joys of the bathroom.

Declan's thoughts on the house

Really mom? I'm not too sure about this colour!


Declan enthralled with Baby Einstein, patiently waiting for us to finish up.

Tired after a long day of demanding attention

At the apartment in with all the boxes

Bored of his playmat.

The Dining Room in progress

The dining room has been left at this stage despite the mint green trim, it will be cream someday. (I think the green looks a lot better in real life, some may disagree though!)

The living room in process

Slowly working our way around the room The colour took four coats to get done.
Almost there

Our helpers hard at work.
