Pantry

Labor Day weekend my family came into town and we took the weekend off. Last weekend we were at our annual Lake Powell vacation with friends. It was good to have a few weekends off but felt good to be working on the house again. We are so close to being done, done. 

We installed our pantry cabinets. We staggered them over the stairs leading to the fruit room so no one will hit their head. 

They are so big, and so many of them. 

I have no idea what I will fill them up with!

 We didn't get everything done until after 9pm. We were both tired. On Monday I will have to put the rest of shelves in and decided what to store here. It's looking pretty good. Now that the shelves are installed we can base this room and build the stair railing. Then we can move our deep freeze out of my front room and put it in it's new home where it belongs.  Every weekend we work is one weekend closer to being done with our house 

More in the Office

Look at this! We have drawers and we have counter tops. It's going to be amazing to have a office again. We have a specific spot for our desktop where I will be working and Kory will have his own desk with his laptop. 

This week I was able to clean out our filing cabinet. I couldn't tell you the last time I cleaned that big boy out. I found things that I didn't even know I had. For instance, I found Kory's and mine 1st tax return we filed after we got married. That's right our 2001 tax return . I also had both of our 1999 and 2000 tax return we both filed as single. I had 21 years of tax returns! Why??? I have no idea why I still had them.  It felt so good to get rid of so much "old" paperwork. 

We still have a little bit of organization and some electrical work to do. On the far right of Kory's desk we will have a book shelf. Kory gave me 6 big and deep drawers on the bottom. Right now the kiddo's have picked one drawer to keep their homeschooling books in. I've got 4 empty drawers! Since this cabinet was a last minute thing we have to wait a few weeks for our granite guy to come up with a scrap piece that matches what we have. Once it's on top Kory will bring home the top piece that will be open shelves. That is where our boxes of books will find their new home. 

 I know it's a complete mess. But I was so excited to take a picture of our "new" space. Kory had a massage client this week. He was able to do it in our new office.
