The BIG Reveal!!

I was reminded today of my promise to post some after photo's of Kenneth's house

SO...here they are!!

(oh and try to overlook some of the small details such as empty picture frames, the crooked photo on the wall, and remotes on the couches---I was lucky to get any decent photos with the number of men in that house during Thanksgiving)

After!!!

(We still plan to replace that ugly door as well...so ignore it please)

After!!!

We got all the furniture from Ashley Furniture for a great deal! Some of the accessories were a little random and the rug would not have been my first choice but beggars can't be choosers, right?!?

I was beyond anxious a few weeks ago when my father-in-law finally called me and was beside himself with excitement about the new furniture his kids had surprised him with!!

Let us know what you think!

Check it...

I frequent Emily A. Clark's blog and yesterday's post gave me a good laugh so I thought I would share. She let her husband do a guest post in celebration of their 10th wedding anniversary!

I sure hope Nathan learns these lessons in less than 10 years!!

Go check it out here!

And enjoy a few pictures of the little man...

All these women were tormenting me!!
Such a sweetheart --- can't help but love him!
As you can see we thoroughly enjoyed their 6 day visit last week!
It was sad to see he & his Mommy go.
If only his stubborn parents would move to Brenham and then we could hang out all the time!!

Sabinal Makeover: Floor Edition

Well, this past weekend marked 1 year since we started the Sabinal makeover process here so it was only fitting for us to have another Halloween work weekend!

This was the scary weekend we had in front of us...

Talk about some work...not what we expected to find underneath.

It took lots of staple pulling and vacuuming but we finally got it prepped.

Took us a bit to get the hang of the sander...they told us to go slow but in the process we ruined lots of those pricey sanding pads because of some faulty advice.

Nathan & his Dad had to grind off burned parts on the pads to try reuse them...

Note to self---don't go slow...EVER!!

Fortunately we got the hang of it here...oh wait maybe because I'm doing it!

Kidding...my wonderful husband was a pro!

Sad day in the Meyer household...the day we took Kenneth's couch(bed) away.

.... or not so sad if you are a part of this family!!

Didn't even have to put a chainsaw to it...although that would have been much more fun!

And they are officially gone FOREVER...

Along with a lot of other items that have occupied the garage for far too many years.

This would be Nathan thoroughly enjoying the garage clean out.

This is my treasure from the garage AKA our new dining room table!

Thanks Kenneth!

I promise I will bring you a new one in a few weeks.

This is our completely prepped floor before the finish.

This shows the difference after we started the clear coat.

I know this post may seem like a complete tease because I showed you the whole process and no final product but sorry...

It won't do the rooms justice until there is furniture!

So, I guess we will have to wait to see the big reveal after Thanksgiving

AND let me just tell you

I am so excited for you to see it!
