house update.

We worked all day Saturday...

finished the white trim on our guest room (thanks for the help Kevin & Nicole)

started the trim in the kitchen

moved the stove around

cleaned beneath it

swept the floors

watered the lawn

got locked in a bedroom

took a break to walk Denver

ate crackers, cheese, chicken, hummus, and pita bread

and sweat. a lot.

Because this house is so old, there are a lot of little oddities.

like, bathroom shelving that is incredibly awkwardly placed.

and squeaky hardwood floors.

and closets Danny has to duck to walk into.

and walls that have been painted over again and again and again...

(D & I joke that the rooms used to be a foot larger, but shrink with every coat. We're mostly serious.)

Danny & I are so tired.

Who knew this house would be so. much. work.

While Danny was on a Home Depot run, I sat with my paintbrush in hand and cried.

Honestly, it's all a little overwhelming.

And I am afraid this little blue house with the red door might not ever feel like home.

But it will.

I know it.

Tonight we're heading over to finish the kitchen.

We wanted the trim finished before we went on holiday...

Then?

a 9 day break...

ah....
