Wooowwwwww – soooo cooollllllllllllll 😉 The outside is done, now I just need to paint it and we will still need to pour concrete around the perimeter of house where we dug it up for the foundation wall. I have “rough” inspections today – then it will be insulation and sheetrock!

A Little Shopping – Bathroom
So things are coming together with my addition. I have inspections on Wednesday for rough plumbing, rough electrical and rough framing. As long as that all goes well, insulation will be next then sheetrock! I thought I’d share a few of my decorating ideas for my master bath. I found this cute little bath rug and those handle/knob things from Home Goods. The handle/knob things are actually curtain tiebacks, I’m hoping to be able to use them as door knobs to pull my pocket door between my bathroom and my closet. The piece of wood looking stuff is actually tile – this will be my flooring for the entire bath/closet and the little rectangle tiles are trim that will go along with subway tile in my shower. The grommet curtains will flank by claw foot tub!! Can’t wait to get started on the fun stuff!

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 😉

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! 😉
