Taking Stock January 2014

You all know we are busy trying to get some projects done before the local home tour here in town. So we are very busy planning and starting projects around the house. Currently we are finishing up the dining room (final reveal will be within the next few weeks) and we have started our redo on the playroom. The playroom is difficult because we have a few things planned but we are trying to just go about it one step at a time. So first thing first we are ripping out the entertainment media closet and turning that into a lounge area. So we have our hands full, but not a whole lot at the moment to show for it. I am trying to finish up a few other small projects around the home that hopefully I can share in the mean time. But since there is not a whole lot for us to share I thought I would take a minute and take stock in January 2014 :)

Hopefully this week we will have some progress to share on one room or another. And this weekend I will be sharing photos of my Mom's kitchen remodel. Which looks awesome.... and they did it all themselves. Can't wait to share! :)
