The Great Room Progress

So it's a little plain right now. I ended up finding some great deals on pillows at Bouclair. I knew I wanted to have purple accents in this room, but I wasn't willing to pay $25/pillow. Anyway, I lucked out and the next week I walked in there, all the pillows I wanted were half price. Not bad...

Anyway, so the current focus right now is supposed to be the Great Room and Kitchen, but I find myself purchasing things for other rooms right now. :S At this rate, we're never going to finish one room. Hopefully, we'll be able to find some great deals during boxing day (week).

Only 5 more days till Christmas!

Oh yes, and Mattamy is scheduled to come out here this week and fix up some issues in our home. We haven't heard from them since our meeting, not sure if they were supposed to call us on Friday to remind us, and tell us which rooms to clear out . Oh well, I guess we'll see tomorrow.

Our Kitchen Progress

So it's not quite complete. Honestly, we haven't put everything away yet because we don't know where we want everything to go. I can't wait till everything is done though. We still need to backsplash, paint, figure out a window treatment solution for the patio door and install one more light fixture, then hopefully we'll then be done.

I think we decided we actually like our countertops, so that's why we're going to go ahead with the backsplash. As for the sink and faucet. Not sure yet. I def. think the faucet needs to go at some point, but it's not a priority.

We've been putting up painters tape to remind us of what needs to go on our 30 day list. Each day the roll gets a little shorter. :S

On another note, we have officially vacated the apartment today. Happy and sad at the same time. I swear we heard Green Day's Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) playing as we closed the door.

Dishwasher Disaster

So we finally had the last of our appliances installed today. Sucks for us to find out our dishwasher has a leak in it. Dennis stepped in a puddle on the hardwood floor. So part of the floor is ruined. Someone's gotta pay for it though. Whether it's GE or Corbeil, I don't care, just get it fixed.

Not sure if we're supposed to run the dehumidifer up in the kitchen, but we figured it may be a good idea to. We'll see how the floor is in the morning.

Off to bed.
