Extreme Home Makeover (continued)

Ahh... Day 5 of our efforts and we're starting to see a small finish line. We've finished the ceiling, painted the windows, painted the base boards, and we're finishing up the stairwell on the first 3 floors... Patricia took on the task of wallpapering the living room, and she's done with the majority of it! Nicolas and I took about 3 huge bags of empty bottles to the recycle center earlier today (just one of many items that needs to find a new home hehe) All in all, I can say I'm pleased with our teamwork and I think the project is turning out nicely!

Nicolas and I spent yesterday morning emptying out the kitchen of old groceries and rearranging a bit to open up the small space (I'll put up pictures of that later) But it's nice to be able to do dishes while seeing people outside the kitchen now! A refrigerator used to block the view, but we moved it.

Anyway, a few updated pictures of our progress :)

Patricia adding her magic to the outside of the windows!
The first coat on the ceiling... we were worried!Nothing to worry about :) it looks FABULOUS!

Patricia works on the wallpaper. Nothing like fake bricks :)
Ava found the important tools for the job...

Sophisticated eh?Still so much work left...

(whose bright idea was this anyway?)
