Christmas in October

Getting organized makes me giddy. Today we got to take an exciting step forward to get our clothes in order. I think the closet installation man thought I was crazy. Especially when I wrote a song and sang it for him with a coordinated dance. Ok I didn't do that part out loud, but I did inside my heart.

                           

Getting to see the carpet again was amazing. No more piles! No more russian roulette!

Another highlight is the beautiful floor Neal did in the closet. It's gorgeous. He worked so hard on it. There were many steps so it took many evenings, lots of cutting, sanding, it was a long process.

I love the final result. The picture doesn't really do it justice. It's a dark, rich brown with a lot of depth.

                        

But that's not all! The bathroom project is really coming along. Neal has done all the boring but necessary jobs, and now all the fun stuff gets to be put in place. He did his final sanding today and then painted. I picked another color from my favorite paint strip (that I've used on the whole house). This color is Sherwin Williams "Eider White" and I did it at 50%. I want the bathroom to be light and bright, but not pure white. So there's a hint of grey, which blends well with the room color since they're from the same strip. 

The shower, pre tile. Notice the spot for the skylight, can't wait to see they sky in the shower!

Those mini plumbers are pretty good!
