A Pleasent Surprise - and - More Sneak Peeks!!

This weekend has been amazing! We're being blessed everyday, and couldn't be more grateful! My husband has been putting in some major overtime to keep us on schedule. Yesterday, he finished all the painting upstairs. Which was a huge relief to me, because I felt like it was taking forever! He also surprised me by putting in Isabella's chandelier in her room! I LOVE it :)
Today, I spent the day painting all of the trim on the main floor. It was a lot more time consuming that I had thought it would be. But, I got a good amount of it done, and it looks great! My husband was re-installing toilets and putting in our new faucets! Everything is really starting to look put- together.

One project we were sort of dreading to do, was removing an above- range microwave from the previous owners. It was caked with grease and a huge eyesore. I was really wanting to put in a stainless range hood, but everyone I kept telling was saying it wasn't possible since there wasn't proper ventilation. I was really bummed, and hated the thoughts of spending a minimum of $300 for a new stainless range microwave. We removed the the microwave to find, a vent duct. Yes!!! We were so excited it was stupid, haha. So, I had to leave and check on the kids and Nana, and when I came back, my hubby had went and bought the stainless steel range hood we previously looked at!! He's amazing :) And, he's working on installing it tonight! I can't wait to see how it looks, ekk!

I apologize for the terrible lighting, but it's the best I could get.
This is probably my favorite room in the entire house! It is our loft area
embellished with gorgeous wood beams! This overlooks our main living room.
I can't wait to show before and after pictures when everything is completed!

Isabella's chandelier! So chic ;)
