Vacation is a good thing!

We were gone on vacation to New Orleans for a wedding for about 6 days.  While gone, Brian & Jason got SO much done.  We were thrilled when we came home and saw all of the changes--it was like we were young children on Christmas morning--soooo exciting.  We didn't talk to them much while gone, so we really had no idea what to expect when we got home as far as what they were working on while we were gone.  Rather than type a long essay, I'm going to just put up a ton of photos of the progress.  Cheers to our progress and the fact that this blog is finally UP TO DATE!!!
Closet organizers!  Can't wait to fill this up!
Other side of closet
Oh, hey laundry chute!! How convenient that our closet is directly above the laundry room! I love this!
Just a better pic of colors in the master bedroom 
A view from the top of the stairs into the living room.
Tiled master bath shower!
Hopefully this will be a good enough shower head panel for Michael.

Living room from view the 'lake' side looking toward the front door/fireplace.

Kitchen with range, hood, sink, and dishwasher!!  Oh, and Michael looking good in his work shirt! :) 

Sweet range, hood, and stainless steel farmhouse sink!

  2. 1. All the cute, handy hipster boys in Chicago wear plaid shirts when they work. Michael - you are on par.

    2. Your CLOSET is almost as big as my apartment.

    3. A LAUNDRY SHOOT?!?! Jealous.

    4. I dream of kitchens like yours. Farmhouse sink! And I especially like the pop of green. NICE choice. I could entertain/ cook in there all day. (I am counting on a dinner party every time I am there this summer.)

    And most importantly...
    What makes this project SO COOL is that the two of you are doing in on your own, together.
    I cannot wait to see it.
