Outback (not Steakhouse)

The paint is DONE! And I still LOVE it!


Now that the two coats are up on the walls, it's time to start preparing the floor for us to FINALLY lay down the hardwood! So, while Chris continues to work on the electrical, I vacuumed and mopped the floors. Then, I started laying down the paper that goes under the hardwood

I'm almost done, so that's pretty exciting

Chris has been plugging away on a bunch of the electrical work, and last night he was ready to put in the foyer light


We went to get the box from our stack o' lights, only to find out upon opening it that it's a wall sconce! The description on the website that we got it from said "flush mount ceiling light" and the picture made it look like it was a full circular light. However, when we opened it, the light was only a semi-circle and was manufactured to mount on a wall. We were NOT pleased, especially because we spent $75. We bought it over a month ago, so I was little nervous about the possibility of returning it. I called this morning and spent less than 5 minutes on the phone and they admitted that the description was wrong, they would change it, we would get a full credit (including shipping) and they would pick it up FROM US! I was amazed! Excellent customer service. Afterwards I bought our second favorite light, so that should be arriving shortly.

Last night we took a (nearly daily) trip to Home Depot. I had been wanting a tool belt for a little while, so we looked around for one that was small enough for me and still had a good amount of pockets. I felt pretty professional after I got it :)

That's right, handywoman Meryl at your service :)
