Cabinets In!

After 2 quiet mid-week days, Saturday was a flurry of progress:

• Cabinets in!

• Bathroom grouted, shower in, vanity (the seriously out of place Victorian bargain) in. Vanity may not be invited to stay, we’ll see about that today.

As for the rest of the house, it’s coming along. The upstairs got painted in 2 days, thanks to our wonderful painter and a great baby-friendly paint recommendation, NO-VOC from Fresh Aire, from our friends Rush & Sarah (and River) at Rusharound.

And because of Mom, who arrived during our darkest hours to tame dust, dishes, plumbing questions, nerves, and to laugh a lot about the crazy state of affairs, we are almost feeling civilized.

Taking a well-deserved break in bed – the only decent seating in the house.  Paint in this master bedroom is a light green.

The beautiful blue nursery is not set up (cribs on the way!), but the closet sure is . . . how adorable!

Guest (twin-helper) bedroom a bright, cheery, energizing yellow.

And the upstairs purple bathroom, which we were nervous about, but LOVE. Until we rip it out. It is functioning like it was built in 1923, which it was. Ugh.

So there’s a long way to go, but the good news is, it is going. And growing, the babies are, that is! Updates on estimated measurements by this coming Friday, 36 weeks, the official cutoff of “full term” for twins. Great job boys!
