Doorway to Heaven
This first picture is the current closet space in my bedroom, it’s about 3’x4′. The second picture is the entrance – cutout to my new master bathroom! My new closet will be in the master bathroom and it will be 4 1/2′ by 11 1/2′. The open wall and piping you see is the wall between my master bathroom and the new mudroom. 😉

Wedding Projects
So we’re coming down to the wire! 19 days til Amie & Matthew’s wedding!! Over the weekend I worked on a few wedding projects – no contractors this weekend. Amie & Matthew wanted mason jars for their toasting glasses, Matthew said “no way, I’m drinking out of those tiny, girly champagne glasses”, LOL. I found these (at least 16oz) mugs at “Hobby Lobby”. Bought some twine and frilly trim. The mustache and lips are wood cut outs I picked up at “Michaels” months ago, wasn’t sure how I would use them but had to have them – too cute. I used “Mod Podge” to put the twine & frilly trim on the glass, then spray painted the wood tags and used rub-on letters. I think they turned out pretty cute! 😉

Sooooo Excited!!!
When I came home from the “Springs” this weekend, I came home to this!! Wholly toledo!! The outside was covered in plywood, my windows and door are in, the interior walls are in AND they got my tub inside!!!! Still have to get the claw feet on the tub but at least it’s inside the walls!!! So excited!!

It’s Here!
Hope you all had a great 4th of July! Happy belated birthday Judy!! I was down in the “Springs” helping with Wedding stuff. The Bayless family knows how to put on a fireworks show!!! I had a great time with Amie and her soon-to-be extended family, but we always have a great time together 😉

Exterior Framing – Done!
Jun29
Raising the First Wall
This weekend was very busy at the farmhouse! The floor was insulated and the sub-floor put down. All of the existing siding from the back of the house is now gone and after raising the roof 5″, they raised my first wall!! It looks so good. I have 3 single-hung windows in the dining room and then in the bathroom I’ll have a 1’x5′ solid glass window over my tub – I have mentioned that it’s a claw foot tub?? Yeppers, can’t wait! The bigger concern is how the heck we’re going to get that tub in – 350 lbs of cast iron! 😉

Inspections Passed!
Floor Joists & Plumbing
View from My Barn!
The floor joist and the rough plumbing inspections have passed!! Yahoooo! The framers are starting tonight on removing the siding on the back of the house, then they’ll put down the subfloor, shore up the roof and then start on the exterior framing! It’s starting to come together and it’s soooo exciting!

Chandelier Re-Do
Matthew’s parents were getting rid of this chandelier and I was happy to take it off their hands! I originally wanted to hang it in my barn but the ceiling is to low. I decided to turn it into an outdoor (non-electric) chandelier. I eventually will hang it over my outdoor dinning table but for now I did get to use it for Amie’s Bridal Shower. I just took all the electrical parts out of each cup and hot glued the little votive cups onto the light socket area. I found the votive cups with led candle lights at Hobby Lobby. It’s purpose isn’t to light up the room but just for ambiance, LOL and it’s perfect!! I might even spray paint it one day.
