Where does the time go......

Oh my word, it has been a month and a half since I posted anything on our blog. SHAMEFUL! Here is a run down on things we have been working on:

Painting:
-Exterior trim around windows (Grisaille Grey)
-Exterior doors (Orchid Night)
-Bathroom (Asparagus)
-Below the chair rail in dining room (Bordeaux)
**still haven't found the right golden yellow for above the chair rail
-Interior trim (white)

Outside:
-Planted ferns and impatiens
-Installed arbor at fence gate
-Rewired side porch light fixture
-Planted grass seed
-Started laying stone path from fence gate to side porch-- The stones were all over the yard, we are guessing that they were removed from whatever facade was/is under the gable part of the roof whenever the vinyl trim was installed.

Bathroom:
-We tore out the tri-fold imitation oak medicine cabinet (which of couse was covering the hole left from the original recessed medicine cabinet and hiding missing tiles ) We could not find a recessed cabinet that we liked and could afford, so we chose a surface mounted white cabinet from target..........yes target.(See it here) It helped that we had a $20 gift card from there left over from Christmas. Anyway back to the hole and missing tiles.
We had to frame in the hole and replace the tiles (waited for three weeks for the black mudcaps to come in) So, in short we now have a medicine cabinet that does not make us cringe.

-Installed sconces in the bathroom. Had to remove the imitation oak bare bulb vanity strip (what a beauty!) and rewire the switch (before doing the aforementioned framing) and ran wire for the sconces---which by the way also came from target (can be seen in the above link next to the cabinet) They were on clearance for $3.74 a pc. I LOVE DEALS.

-We are still working on the tiles. Most of the damaged tiles were easy to remove except the toothbrush holder. They should make warships out of this thing. We have been chipping away at this thing for weeks. It won't budge. I am sure we can go get some sort of specialty tool to make it easier....but well you know.

Other than that we have been cleaning unpacking cleaning unpacking cleaning unpacking cleaning. Oh! and we sold our old house that had been under contract for nearly five months. But that is a whole 'nother can of worms. (2 words---FHA 203K)

Will post more and pictures soon....maybe it won't take 6 weeks next time.
