1 down...563 to go!

So last week I finished up the living room, check that off the ever growing list. I feel like I've made a small dent in a gigantic project, but I'll keep carving away the stone until it is done.

It ended up taking 2 coats of yellow paint to cover up the dark blue in the living room, but in the end Suzanne and I are both pretty pleased with the new color in the room. I need to install the blinds and curtains, but otherwise, the room is pretty much finished.

This week, things are moving quickly. The cabinets from IKEA showed up last Thursday and are currently residing in our dining room (they come in flat boxes and need to be assembled).

The appliances are scheduled to be here on Friday of this week, which basically leaves the bottleneck on me. This weekend, I plan on knocking out some of the jobs that are holding me back. I will begin by rerouting the water supply line for the ice maker (woo hoo...I get to use a blow torch!). Then, I'll sheetrock the bathroom, fridge alcove, and small portions of the kitchen and closet. Once the drywall is back up, I can hopefully start hanging cabinets!

Stay tuned for another update on Sunday night or Monday night...it's going to be a long weekend here in the Younger house.
