Dish Cabinet

I LOVE this cabinet. I am seriously thinking of doing away with some upper cabinets just to have this for my dishes!



Isn't it gorgeous!

Ideas for the Foyer

I finally found a picture of the way I want our foyer to be. I love the dark hardwood floors and the shape of the staircase.



In the picture below, I love the black banisters! Not sure if I can convince Scot though....It is different and makes a statement.



I also love this double chair. I hope I can find one for our foyer too!

The Pipes

Just to give you an idea of how much pipe had to be laid, I found out that the shed is around 420' feet from the road.

On Monday, Scot was able to glue together all the pipes and lay them in the trench.

He then was able to connect them to the main water line at the road.

Once he tested it and the pressure was good, he was able to back fill the trench. He first did it with the trencher ......

then, it was manual labor to pack it in. He still has a lot of packing to do. Hopefully, by the weekend it will be how he wants it!

It is so awesome that he was able to put faucets where ever we wanted them. Knowing where there would be flower beds, he was able to add a connector for water hoses which will be so nice!

He had planned from the beginning to have a utility sink in his shed. You may remember the pipes sticking up out of the slab. (For fun, I thought I would share the pic with you :)

He was finally able to connect it and now it just needs the sink!

This is the pipe going up through the foundation....

and the pipes inside the shed where the sink will be.

He is also put a faucet in the back of the shed and one on the side.

No, this is not how he is going to leave it. He did not have enough connectors (or whatever they are called) to get it installed the way it should be. He will fix it this weekend.

We are both so excited to get this project done! Now that we have water up at the shed, we will be able to plant some things and keep them watered a lot easier!!!

The Trench

Today, Scot is working out at the land digging a trench for the water lines to be ran from the road to the shed. I am not sure how far away that is, but as you can tell from the picture, it is set quite a bit from the road.
Thankfully, it does not have to be done by hand! Larry has a trencher and he was able to borrow it for this task.

More to come in the days ahead.....

Bathroom Cabinet

I went to an Estate Auction over the weekend and had a BLAST! I got SO much stuff for so little money. (It really pays to stick around to the end of the sale! There are not as many people and they are putting things together to be sold as lots.)


To see more of my goodies, visit here.

When I first arrived, this bathroom cabinet caught my eye. It was in perfect condition. Not only is it a practically brand new cabinet, it is very well built and super heavy. Another words, not a cheap cabinet!

Can you believe that I paid $40 for it!!!!

My cousin, who was with me at the sale, said he recently remodeled his bathroom and bought a cabinet much smaller than this one and paid way more than $40...score!!!!! I did look on the home improvement stores websites to find one similar to see how much it would have cost new. I couldn't find the exact one, but similar ones this size WITHOUT the faucet was in the $300 -$500 range.

Not sure yet which bathroom I will use it in at the new house, but I know I saved A LOT of money and THAT makes me sooo happy!

Sea Glass Tiles

I love this kitchen! Aren't the sea glass tiles GORGEOUS?!??!
