It\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve done a house renovation update, and I wish I could say that no news is good news\u2026 We still aren\u2019t done with the renovations <sigh>, but there is progress.\u00a0 We have moved upstairs, as all of the bedrooms and bathrooms are about 99% finished.\u00a0 Each bedroom now has its own bathroom, which makes our 13 year old VERY happy.\u00a0 And, now with an actual bedroom, she can shut the door on her brother when he is annoying (which, evidently, is most of the time).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the 13 year old\u2019s room:<\/p>\n

The main floor is still not done, as they are installing bookshelves in the new study and the kitchen still has some work to be done.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re very pleased with how the house has turned out, but a bit disappointed about how long it\u2019s taken.\u00a0 (I know, I know, it always takes longer than you think, but this has REALLY taken longer than we thought.)\u00a0 Given that school starts in less than a month, and we don\u2019t have any of our fall \u201cstuff,\u201d it would be helpful for the house to be finished soon and all of our things from storage returned.\u00a0 If I sound cranky, it\u2019s because I am a little (shocking, I know).\u00a0 I had hoped that we would have the summer\u2014a relatively slow period in our lives\u2014to unpack and sift through our things.\u00a0 Having to do it in the fall, when our lives our chaotically busy, is not ideal.\u00a0 That being said, without an Einsteinian express or an ability to bend the rules of space and time, we are clearly going to be unpacking in the fall.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And, of course, since I\u2019m mellow and easygoing by nature, you just know that the fall is going to be a fun time to be spending with me as I unpack!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
