Tada!

THE FLOOR IS DONE!!!! Look! You can see that we stuck the stove back into the kitchen! I got to boil water tonight, it was so fantastic.. Anyway! The floor turned out beautifully. It looks even better with the paint color. Honestly, I think we're both ecstatic with the way its coming along. Currently we are getting ready to refinish all of the cabinet fronts so that's why our kitchen looks that way. Take a look!

The Tile

I'm just throwing this one in for kicks. It's pretty cute.

I promise once I get more of the paint and woodwork done I'll take a photo with it all together. These photos don't even do the tile justice; I promise. Expect the paint color reveal by the weekend! (I hope)

My "New" Piano

Remember last week's Trend Thursday? Take a look at this!

A gracious family gave us their upright. They believed it was over 100 years old, (which was confirmed by a hidden piece of paper denoting its day of inspection), and that it may have been used in a bar at some point. I'm thinking it may have been a speakeasy or something similar due to the glass panel in the front and the era of the piano. Usually something like a glass window or open front was there to increase the entertainment value and the volume of the instrument.

My goal is to refinish it to its former glory. Whether or not that includes stripping the paint off and keeping the wood finish, or repainting it white, I have no idea. It definitely needs some TLC, but someday it will be beautiful.

I love Craigslist
