I know that I haven't been the best at keeping up on my blog. So I will update. We had this wet bar in our house that in my opinion was out dated and a waste of space. I had this vision that it would be a great office space....so I (we) went to work. I tore down some 1950's mirrors from the wall (sorry, i forgot to take a picture of the before) and then I started to take some tile off the wall. The girls saw me doing this and decided they wanted to help. They are very good with a hammer and chisel. Notice the Protective gear.
Somewhere in the process I was painting and fell. I guess that my pregnancy judgment is impaired. Looking back at it it was very funny but I will save that story for another time. i just thought that this picture was cool.
So back to construction...when my dad was visiting he helped tear out the cabinet/sink unit. Behind this we found some mold. oh how pretty. This made the project a little more complicated. I began tearing out roted drywall and then I had to replace it and then plaster over a million tears and scrapes where adhesive had been. Once that was done..then began the process of rebuilding the area. We placed the base board and then started tiling. I found an awesome deal at habitat for humanity on some good quality cabinets. I am still very excited about them. Bren helped me install them.Now we are painting the cabinets a cherry wood finish and then working on a desk. I will keep you updated on our progress.

Aren't you supposed to be "taking it easy"???? That doesn't sound like taking it easy at all :) It's looking good though. I'm also pretty sure taking it easy or not, just being pregnant alone is good enough reason not to be climbing on things and painting.......hmmmmmm, if only you knew a nurse that could give you some good advice?!?
yeah about that taking it easy stuff...alright I won't go there right now but I wish you would slow down just a little bit. I also want you to not climb anything anymore (particularly while your pregnant atleast :)). It is looking good! Can't wait to see the end result. Your amazing!!!
P.S.
On a side note I thought it funny to tell you my verification word to post my comment is table. How fitting for this post (as you are finishing with a desk) hee, hee!
