Our house is in a bit of shambles right now.
Our washer has leaked one to many times and our flooring has to be replaced.
This is our third floor that we've put in since we moved--thanks to a broken disposal and a crappy washer.
This time we decided to go with tile, instead of laminate wood, in the hopes that it stands up better in our next inevitable flood.
We should probably just buy a new washer, but I just won't give up on it yet. I'm my parents' girl!
Getting new flooring seems to have started us down a slippery slope.
Since the flooring is getting replaced anyway, I want to knock down two doorways and a partial wall to make our entry closet and laundry room one big functional mudroom.
I've been working toward getting that done for awhile! Sometimes I have to do things in babysteps with Ben!
We also decided to extend the tile into the dining room. The carpet was gross and it just makes more sense to have cleanable flooring where we eat.
Then, since the flooring that I fell in love with is a dark walnut, my orangey oak cabinets have to be painted white--another job that's been on my list!
I don't really do well with the chaos of our main living space being turned upside down. I'm slowly learning to work around it. I just keep repeating to myself, "It's all going to be worth it."
Sadly, we are both already dreaming about phase two.
Ben's hoping for a new counter and backsplash. I'm shooting for a revamp on the bathrooms. We both want a nice backyard!
Either way, I'm planning on painting all the trim in the house white and switching out all the doors.
Wish us luck!
I'm trying hard to stay focused on making it through our current mess.
One step at a time!
