Butcher Block Counters

We are getting so so close. Today Tarry oiled the butcher block counter tops for the first time. The color just starts to pop as soon as he starts smoothing it around. Only 2 more coats to go and they will be finished. We are cleaning and installing appliances as well. Like I say, we are SO close.

The Lilypad living room

Now, think back to the beginning of this living room. A door and a window to nowhere and that beautiful gas heating device. Yuk. Carpet.....I hate carpet.


Using our shiplap to accent the fireplace and create a background for the wall above.
Purple glass tile!!!!! Yes!!!! 


Now paint, and paint, and paint.


Now that the carpet is gone, we can install the new flooring. Hickory. I love it.


The finishing touches to the mantel. Galvanized metal. We had our nephew (in law) make this for us and it is awesome. Thanks Luke. Here is it and we love it. Check is in the mail....Hahahaha
