So the dinning room is finally painted! We still need to put up the missing crown molding and baseboard trim where we built the new wall but that's it! Here are some pics of the painted room.
I love the green color. So juicy! Can't wait until we work on the kitchen so we can paint it a green shade too.
So, what's next? Replacing our front door. Why? Here is a photo explaining the reason.
Now we knew what we were going to find when we tore up some of the wood flooring by the door. The door had been leaking for who knows how long. As you can tell from the photo the wood is rotten and the door frame as well is rotten. We knew this before we bought the house. I'm sure some of you are wondering why in the world did we buy a house with so many problems. The house has so many more pros than cons. The number one reason we bought the house was because of the location. It's only 2.4 miles from Tommy's work and it's in the Williamson County school district. When we lived in Bellevue, Tommy worked in Murfreesboro 52 miles away. That's right...he drove 104 miles a day. And at the time he drove a Ford F-350 crew cab dually. Let's just say both of our incomes went straight to BP and Shell. Thank the Lord we sold that gas guzzler.
We also love the layout and size of the house. We have plenty of room for the four of us and space for friends and family to come visit.
Anyways, the new door was ordered last week and it came in yesterday (it's pretty much the exact same door with the window on each side). Tommy's mom is coming in town tomorrow morning to watch the boys so Tommy and I can focus all our time and energy installing the door tomorrow. Please pray we have it installed before the Super Bowl game starts. ;) I'd hate to leave a big hole in the front of our house while we're eating junk food on the couch while screaming at the TV.
Do you notice anything else 'odd' with this picture?
The previous owners painted over wallpaper. This seems to be a trend. Our whole downstairs and upstairs hallways are like this. We will be working on fixing this problem after we finish the front door project. Stay tuned for that. But don't hold your breath. It's going to take a looooong time.
On another note, one of my Nashville besties, Kaylan came over to hang out with me and the boys. She took a few videos with her cell phone of the boys. Here is one of them. Enjoy! And go Packers!
