Happy New Years Day!!
I made some significant progress this week. Got the big desk all put together - thanks to my dear granddaughter, grandson and his friend. This "thing" took 2 people three full days to put together. It had so many parts!! It sure looks good now tho.
Thanks Brandon, Ryan and Tiffany!
I have been taking Bella with me over to the new house. She gets so excited when we go in the truck. She knows she's getting to go with me.
Today, I put another coat of paint on the trim I put on the cabinets. I still have some putty work to do.
I am so excited. I put down a peel and stick tile in the breakfast room to cover up the pink tile. Don't know how it will wear but at least it's not pink anymore. I have to cut a bunch of edges but after I did the whole floor, I was tired and decided to wait on doing the cut outs. I will eventually have the whole floor taken out and retiled with travertine tile Bella approved. She has made friends with the dogs on two sides of the house.
Enjoy!!
Judy
Judy, Bless your heart. You have been working so hard. I hope you get it just like you want it. I like the looks of that peel and stick. Wishing you a wonderful new year Judy. I am sending hugs your way. xoxo,Susie

I don't know how you do it all!! I am really looking forward to seeing what all you do with your new home. Have a wonderful 2016....hugs....

Very nice desk! It is huge. You are doing a great job on your new home!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.
warmly,

Great job on the tile - and on that huge desk! Have you met any of your new neighbors yet?
ReplyDeleteYour tile and new desk look great! My husband put peel and stick tiles in my bathroom right over some badly installed tile (done by the previous homeowner). We have had it down for a couple of years now, and it is holding up very well. At some point, we have plans to redo the whole bath, but the peel and stick is certainly a great option for covering up something you don't like for a while. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThat is one big desk! It will give you so much space to work on. Is it for crafting?

It will hold my computer, my printer, Cricut and my sewing machine. So, I should be able to get a lot done in a small amount of space. LOL

Judy,
ReplyDeleteSweet Bella going to the new house with you is so adorable. Glad she has new neighbor friends too. The new house is looking so great. Your craft/office area is going to be fabulous.

I used that same peel and stick in the kitchen of a house many years ago (mid 90s, I think) and according to one of my old neighbors, it's still there! I left all the extra pieces and I'm sure they've had to replace a few, but she said it doesn't look bad at all. I've used it in laundry rooms, mud rooms, etc. over the years and love that you can replace easily whenever you get a ding or something. Your new home is really coming along. Tell Bella hello from my Bella.. My Bella has been playing with grands all day and is currently asleep on the sofa....

ReplyDeleteHi Judy, so enjoyed catching up here this morning. Love the progress in your new home. The desk is beautiful and I love the work space you have with it. How great the tiles look too. You did an amazing job. Bella is so cute and I can just see her running around excited when she knows she is going with you and can ride in the truck. The cabinets turned out great with your idea to cover the edge. Great pics of your family too.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful new year filled with good health, happiness and love. Have fun on the projects ahead. xo

ReplyDeleteWow! You're in "gitter-dun" mode! The floor looks great and that desk is lovely. What a blessing that you have help for that sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteMay 2016 bring you joy.
That IS a BIG desk! It looks like it would take several people to put it together, looks nice. You've been one busy lady....you go girl! good for you!

Putting that desk together was a big job! Looks great. You are accomplishing so much and I am so happy that you really seem to be enjoying the process. Happy that Bella has new friends too. Bentley is best buddies with Toby who lives next door and it's so cute to see them together. Happy New Year dear friend!!
ReplyDeleteBig Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Ohhh, that peel and stick tile looks sooooooooooooo pretty. I mean, really pretty. You did a fine job, Judy....
ReplyDeleteLove your new desk, even if it took three of you guys 2 days to put together. I'm so glad that Bella likes her new home and that she has met some new friends. Tile looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing with us Judy. Hope you had a wonderful New Year.
ReplyDeleteMary
You are one amazing lady. I hope to get a tour of the new house soon.
ReplyDeleteYou are sure getting a lot done...the desk will be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLooks like things are coming along nicely. That's a big desk. - Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteIt's coming along nicely Judy. Putting that desk together sounds like quite a job. We put peel and stick tile in our basement storage room and it has held up very nicely. Wishing you a Happy New Year!

Things are progressing quite nicely, dear friend!!!
