Appliances!

They're in!! It seems a little weird to be so excited about appliances, but I am!

And Clark's awesome cleaning job:

Taps & Toilets - you know you want to see

I just looked at my blog at the last house pictures I posted, and it looks a little different now, especially the kitchen! I thought I was way up to date but I guess not. I'm sure all 2 of my readers are just DYING to see my cabinets, so maybe I'll go and take some pictures later. Last night all of our taps were in so I went around taking pictures of them (because I like taking pictures - shocker I know):

Isn't this beautiful? I thought I'd capture it before I cleaned it.

This tap is actually getting changed today - it's supposed to have a brushed finish. The piece of paper says don't touch me, my silicone is drying.

This actually works! So excited.

Clark told me no one wanted to see pictures of toilets. He's right, but it was in the folder and I decided not to remove it.  My favorite thing? The seats come off to clean! And no one can slam the lids down.

Possibly my favorite feature of the whole house (well, top 3):

We got the window boxes in so the windows are looking less rough in the basement:

The piles of baseboard and casing that my brother-in-law is painting for us this week (we love you Brad!!):

Playing with depth of field (I love my 50 mm):

The stacks of plinths getting painted (also by the amazing Brad):

And the appliances just waiting to go in:

My favorite part of winter - the static-y, frizzy hair:

 
Oh wow that's beautiful! Haha

The upper cabinets in the kitchen are supposed to be in this week, and the basement cabinets are supposed to be in today. Carpet comes on Monday, and all that's left is trim, tile, railing, fireplace mantel, closet rods/shelving, and a million other odds and ends I'm sure! But, we're getting really close.

I buy Martha

 I exported these out of Lightroom like I was going to put them on my photography blog - I guess it's habit! Anyway, Clark and I took our 3000th trip to Home Depot the other night  and I saw these stockings! We don't have matching stockings, and of course, that's a must have, so I got them! I have this huge thing for grey and silver, not sure if you've noticed, and I just love the Christmas color scheme of silver, white, and blues, so these fit in perfectly!

They also had a big bucket of Christmas tree ornaments so I got that, too. As we were walking to the tills to pay, we passed 4 girls (employees) just standing around by the tills, and as we walked past them, the one girl said, so that we could overhear, "I refuse to buy Martha"- now I would just love to have an employee like that! Haha and then she said it again just in case we hadn't heard her. In case the picture is too small - these are Martha Stewart decorations. What a girl!

 Hopefully in a few weeks we'll have a Christmas tree up in the new house!
