Downstairs, renovation almost completed

The renovation downstairs is almost done now - we are repainting the window frames in the same color as the stairway and then there are some other minor things we need to fix! Looking at old pics I can't really understand it's the same house :-) Love it!

The first pic is from our...well, dunno the English word for it...outdoor/indoor room...We are gonna paint those wooden walls white when we have time...so don't know whenthat will be,




My tomatoe and cucumber plants to the right...the tomatoe plants are taller than I am - too much heat and water I guess. Hope they will provide us with good tomatoes sooooon!



Repainted walls and new 1 inch oak floor.





See the stairway now - grey, and no "handles" in the lower part.


Also new tile floor - before it was brown with orange swooshes. We went for white ones since we don't have a window in the hallway we want to make it bright.


The Kitchen, new 1 inch thick ash floor (is ash the name of the tree this wood comes from??) Have had quite some trouble with the people we bought the kithcen from, they sent a carpenter that was slow and really really lousy...He more or less destroyed parts of it. We have had them here 3 time to fix what was wrong, and still it isn't good. But we are very happy with the end result and love our kithchen! Used to be dark oak before.



From the kitchen, through the hallway and living room.



the kitchen again...




...and again.
So Amy - hope you will soon come see us here in our new little house :-) Miss yall a lot!!
