And a new light fixture to complete the room. That would be nice... We still have to paint the doors, replace the baseboards, and decide on a floor mat/non-slip surface for winter. More to come, stay tuned! And thanks for stopping by!


And Mike just played with Bella.


Tracy was pleased. Especially for being 6 months pregnant, she did a ton of work!


Done! Working with the tile was pretty easy, we were pleased to discover.


Putting down the floor. We bought sticky tiles because we really liked the pattern.


Tracy did all the prep, priming and painting. It came out great!


We had to put a layer of 1/4 inch plywood down to cover up the broken concrete that was never going to completely come off the subfloor.


First thing we did was rip up that tile floor. We would like to thank the previous owner for cementing the ceramic tile directly to the subfloor, and not, as the rest of the world does, using backerboard.


Our latest project was the front hall. We've been wanting to update it ever since we moved in. You can see why.

Just checking in

Hello everyone!

Just a quick update to let you know that Tracy's pregnancy is still going great. Everything is progressing normally, and we're counting the days until we get to finally meet AJ. Speaking of AJ, you should stop by and check out his blog.

We're hoping everyone has a happy and safe labor day weekend. We love you all, and hope to see you soon!

Mike and Tracy
