One step closer...

My days have been full of home improvements - LOVING IT!!!

The dishwasher is in place and hooked up to water - just need the electrician (who apparently runs only on his schedule) to come and hook it up.

Isn't is BEAUTIFUL??? Can't wait to hear it run! :)

I hung my new valances in the living room... I like them!

Ahh... my next project is to turn our fireplace (doesn't work properly) into a cabinet to house our T.V. box, DVD player & DVD's... We have our TV hung on the wall - when Corey mounted it he drilled a hole in the wall for the wires to go through, in preparation for this project.

Here's how it started out looking...

Today I removed the face of the fireplace and measured the inside - I'm headed into town today to order a cabinet to fit and I plan on facing it out and building a mantel around it.

Now...

So it may not look a whole lot better to you, but to me it does! I had the chest and the boxes sitting in front of the fireplace - now at least they have a semi-home! I'm super excited!

Oh summer - what a lovely time! :) Hope your days are filled with fun too!
