No more diapers for Diego! We are officially a "no diaper" house and it feels fantastic!!
It took him only a week to practice and get the the whole potty traning down.

Home Renovation

We purchased our home in March and have been under renovation for a couple of months now.
Here is a sneak peak of the changes going on in our home.
We are currently living with my mom patiently waiting
for our home to be complete and livable.
 
Since the exterior looks pretty good there's not much for us to do other than a few little tweaks like planting flowers and maybe adding some outdoor decorations for now.
 

 


 We are SO CLOSE. All we have remaining are some things such as the back splash, the range hood and a hanging slider door to separate our kitchen from our laundry/computer room. And then we are DONE WITH THE KITCHEN (with the construction part, at least)! I have a little decorating to do but we are so happy with the way it turned out. I have yet to look at the before and after images in the same place so here we go….





These are the pictures that were on the MLS listing:




 
Robert was ready to break down the kitchen cabinets. He was however not looking forward to removing the ceiling popcorn.

 
 
The 2 chandeliers were removed and recess lights were installed. The ceramic floor tile was also removed. Where the old kitchen eat in space use to be we decided to build a new pantry and add a peninsula to it. I could totally see our kids gathered around there and enjoying many meals together, doing home work or just having it as a hang out space.
 


 
The new pantry space.
 


 
The cabinets finally arrive and the installers are quick
at getting the kitchen complete.
 
 


 
The appliances arrive and the stove was moved from the back wall
to the center of the kitchen.
 

I'm LOVING the new microwave in the new peninsula island.

 
 
 
 Here is the finished product.
 


 


 
 
 
 
I am ABSOLUTELY loving my new turquoise pantry door.
