We had carpet installed upstairs this week...
We painted, put new trims up and had carpet installed....
The upstairs bedroom to the west....BEFORE...
That same bedroom AFTER!!!
All I need to do is scrape the paint off the windows and the upstairs is DONE!!!!! We just got the new carpet installed this week!
This is what the dormer landing at the top of the upstairs used to look like when we moved in, notice the nice blood red paint they were going to paint it on the wall...
This is what the walls now look like......we had to rip the drywall out because the previous owners had let their cats pee everywhere and we had to get rid of the smell!!YUCK! so we put up wainscoting like we have in our bathroom. Eventually some bookshelves will be built as well.
The new carpet is being installed this week so soon the upstairs will be done!
Patching in some new siding to match up with the old stuff
Grandma Hubble sent us these neat chair hammocks for a housewarming gift....they are so comfy to sit in on the front porch!!
We finally got around to putting the handles on our cabinets
Our new bar stools thanks to Ronda & Lander!!
Our new light sconce at the top of the stairs!
Island before counter top..
Island with new granite counter top! (My favorite part is the built in wine rack though!)
And yes, we still have not taken the plastic off our appliances...still too dusty with all the work we are doing.
Corner counter top. We have not decided on the back splash yet. Anybody have any ideas??
sink and faucet..
The kitchen (if you can call it that) when we bought the house
filled in the doorway and added that space on to the bathroom...
lovely wall paper...
Even drywall is an improvement!
Starting to hang the upper cabinets
we didn't get the island built yet or any of the pulls on the cabinets but it already looks great!!
Granite counter tops to come...
Still lots of work to do but I can't believe we are FINALLY going to have a kitchen again!!
Our new couch/Chaise...the cat is already enjoying it...
Our mini rose bushes are in full bloom!
Starting to paint the west side of the house....finally getting rid of the ugly blue trim color!!
Nate and Rick fixing the missing pieces of wood siding
Putting the ladder up to kill the hornets nest up in the eaves... the house is starting to look really cute with its new paint job!
Our appliances and cabinets arrived this week so we are busy trying to get them in as well....so many jobs to get done when we get home from our day jobs!!
Starfish, mussels and sea anemones on the rocks at low tide...

We pulled into a rest stop along the ocean and saw 2 gray whales along their migration up to Alaska...hard to catch them with my camera when they came up for air though.....!
Crab pots from the local fishermen in Newport, OR
Low tide...exploring the caves and rocks..
