We Are Getting Closer...

We are getting closer to finishing the sunroom! All the crown molding, baseboards, and window trims are done. We have now got to paint them--not looking forward to that! Too much detail work. We also have to put at least one more coat of paint on the walls. And we have to paint the doors and attach the new hardware to the doors. Then we have to have the flooring installed. But like I said--we are getting closer! Yaaaaayyyyyy!

It took me FOREVER to decide on a fan. I looked for weeks until I finally decided on this one. And I am sooooo pleased with it. And I love the fact that we have all the recessed lighting and have them on dimmers.
I chose a mirrored door for the entrance into the living room. I really like how it looks. The door will probably be open into the living room most of the time and it will be nice to see mostly a mirror at those times instead of just a boring door!
The fan looks even nicer in person!
I thought this light fixture coordinated with the fan really good.
I also chose a mirrored door for here. (This door leads into the storage room.) I thought it would open up this small space more.Well, now you can see our progress thus far. Hopefully we will be able to get all this finished before too much longer. I am soooo ready to decorate these rooms and then to use them!

Paint!

We now have the first coat of paint on the walls. The true color does not show well in these pics, but it gives you a general idea. The guys are out there right now putting up the crown molding. The trim is already up around the windows and doors. Pics of all this to follow soon.

I've Been Tagged

I have been tagged by Haley. I am to come up with 6 random things about myself. Well here goes...

1. Haley said that she is basically shy. Well I am, too. Used to be incredibly shy, but have overcome the 'incredible' part. I put up a good front most of the time, but it is still a struggle.

2. I love to entertain---got it from my parents. They were always having people over for food and talk and games. Right now, I am not able to have people over because we are renovating and adding on to our house. It is such a mess! But when all this is over, I intend to get back into the entertaining full-force!

3. My hair started turning gray when I was just 16 years of age! I used to want to dye it, but my mother would not let me. Then when I got married, Allen did not want me to--he liked it! Now, I just cannot be bothered with dyeing it! I guess you could say that I am just used to it this way. My sisters both dye their hair and think I should, but not gonna do it!

4. I love photography. I have never had any lessons or taken any classes on it, but people think that I have a good eye for it. I know that I have lots of fun with it and would like to do more of it. And who knows, maybe one day I will do that photography book on Prattville like my dear friend Nancy says that I should.

5. Black is my absolutely favorite color. I love to decorate and I use lots of black in my decorating. I even spray paint lots of things black. It is amazing to me how much better a lot of things look when they are black. And I have influenced quite a few friends to spray paint some of their things black. It is also my favorite color for clothes, too.

6. I have lived in several places overseas. I have lived in Turkey--yes, Turkey! I have also lived in Germany two times. I have lived in several places in the states, too. All of the places had their own special qualities. I especially loved Germany and being able to travel to other countries while we lived there. But my favorite place of all to live is here in Prattville. In fact, I have lived here longer than I have lived anywhere else my entire life! It is definitly HOME.

Ok--so now I am supposed to tag 6 other people. Some of these have been tagged in the past, but I figure they can come up with 6 more random things about themselves. I tag the following:

1. Nancy

2. Jenny

3. Stephanie

4. Hannah

5. Julie

6. Jennifer

It's Really Starting To Take Shape

The Work Continues...

Chaos

If anyone had told me just how messy, dirty and chaotic this would all be, I am not so sure that I would have begun all these renovations!! I keep telling myself that it is going to be worth it all when everything is done. But in the meantime...
