Grampy Days and Renovations

Our bedroom originally
Ta-da!
Stuart put up the ceiling tiles and crown molding.

The old sink in the main bathroom
Dad squirting liquid nails in preparation for the new vinyl
New sink and vanity with the new vinyl on the walls
Stuart installed the new tub faucets.

Thula and Grampy in our living room (still messy) I was joking with dad that the wood paneling makes it seem like a basement.
Good times at Friendly's! Dad can you really eat all those desserts? (This is for Meg's benefit:-)
Wallingford has a Saturday flea market by the train station. We are so glad that Dad was able to come visit and help us. We love you pops!

It looks like you guys are having a great time updating your new house. I bet Stuart's arms were so sore after installing the new tile on the ceiling! I can only imagine...ouch! We miss you guys, but are glad you bought a house in a beautiful area.

Yowzers! It all looks so amazing. I love how the color in the bedroom turned out and those curtains are SOOOOOO pretty! I've been wanting to call you, but this week has just been one crazy thing after another. Maybe sometime this weekend.

Miss you!

I love that you are posting photos of your home remodeling. Everything looks fantastic. You have great taste! How fun to have your Dad come help. I can tell Thula enjoyed his company, too.

Oh my goodness! Your home improvements are FABULOUS! It looks like a totally different house! I am so impressed. And Stuart did a great job with the ceiling tiles and crown moulding. I always heard that those two things were the hardest to get just right. Way to go!! I love it all!! You are so going to love your house when it is all done.
