Where I've Been....

I bet you have been wondering where the heck I have been or what I have been up to since I haven't updated the blog in over a month. Well as we all know by know, Gabe and I are expecting our first little (or should I say big as he is measuring at about 97% right now based off of ultrasounds!) one at the end of August.

And before I get anymore ginormous (it's a word) and can't travel anymore, I have been spending every weekend up in Pomona working with Gabe on turning his bachelor pad of a house for the past 6 years into our home. We have painted (or should I say Gabe and his family), put in new carpet, bought curtains/blinds, new furniture, comforters, lights..you name it..we are doing it. What makes it challenging is the house is really old and made completely of brick (no drywall except in the bathroom) so hanging stuff and painting have been frustrating at times.

However, don't get me wrong, things are progressing well if not slowly. What also makes it hard is we only have less than about 48 hours each weekend to get stuff done and try and spend some quality time together as well. We are both exhuasted but think we see the end of the home update tunnel.

Check out some of our work:

Nursery/Guest Bedroom (door view...look at all the brick) Closeup of Nursery Valance Crib and Bedding (notice the LAPD dog in the corner. Gabe bought that for the little one...too cute!)Sports themed Ceiling Fan (I love this)Once we put up the closet doors I'll take a few more pics of the Nursery so you can see how it all ties together.

Master Bedroom Window Treatments (and another view of all the brick)

New dining room table/light fixture/carpet (love that the table is bar height but we still need to paint walls and hang new curtains)

As you can see we've made some awesome progress but have a ways to go. Who knew redecorating long distance could be so hard (oh wait...I did)...but it will be oh so worth it when it's done! So if you don't see a post for a few more weeks...well you know where I am and what I'm doing.
