We have light!

The remodel spilled over into the girls' bathroom as well so we decided to paint their vanity black and put granite in there too. I am glad we went ahead and did this if for nothing else but the fact that the granite hides the toothpaste that I use to see on the counter every day after the girls left for school.

Today the electrician came back to finish a few things he did not get to on Friday so we now have new light fixtures. Let me just say that Overstock.com did not disappoint on either one of these chandeliers. I love them both and the price!

Well that really is all for today. Hopefully the next pictures I post will be of doors and drawers;-)

Another Update...

Well last week the tile guys were here, well actually the past week and a half the tile guys were here. I think the backspalsh turned out great! I ended up going with a tumbled marble and I love it!!

The other side of the kitchen. Notice we are still waiting on the doors and drawers for the cabinets. I am definitely not going with an open concept there. Fortunately we have gotten a lot of rain lately, unfortunately it has delayed the sealing of the cabinet doors and drawers.

We have a functional kitchen sink and a beautiful pattern in the backsplash to go with it.

Just a picture of the tile floor. Not sure what the name of the pattern is but I am definitely happy with it. The color of the tile is great too because it actually hides dirt where as before the 1981 off white tile was ugly and hid nothing.

Here is the updated guest bathroom. We put the new tile in there along with granite, painted the vanity, new faucet, and framed the existing mirror. It looks so much better!

I am hoping that the remodel is complete this week and I can post pictures of a beautiful kitchen soon;-)

Let's Play Ball!!

Last Friday we had opening ceremonies for Wylie Softball. Once again Cary is coaching Kaylee's team and I do not know which one of them is more excited. I love my husband for many reasons but one of the many is that with the business of tax season he finds the time to coach and Kaylee loves it! Their team name this year is The Express after the Round Rock express which is a farm team of the Texas Rangers. If you know us at all you know we are huge Texas Rangers fans around here, well two members are huge fans the other two are moderate fans.

I love that we live in a place where the military plays a great presence at events and where a prayer is lead almost always to start an event as well.

I do not think Cary had to do much to get the girls fired up. They are so excited!

Giving little cheer at home plate.

They are off and running back to their spot on the field.

Two of my favorite people! I think we are ready to play some ball now.

We have Granite!

After lots of planning, picking out a pattern, and discussing a layout we have granite. It is so nice to have a countertop again. Now I am starting to see what the kitchen is going to look like a little more.

The picture below is of the laundry room cabinets that were white in the previous post but are now black. I love them and cannot wait to start organizing them. Of course we need hooks, pulls, and doors first but we are on our wa.
