Renovation Report: Week 6

Here are the latest photos from Robin's cell phone:  

Here are the new breezeway doors!

Old picture of the breezeway.  Hard to see how bad the door looked originally in this picture.  

I am amazed by how different the room looked after the green paint disappeared!

I even forgot that there were two green walls.  It seemed so light and fresh when I walked into the house!

If you glance where the children are at in this picture, you will notice there aren't any green walls.  It really opened up the downstairs!

This little cutie helped Daddy and Grandpa Dalen with picking up the new flooring in Rochester.  I was watching him for a bit before I got out of the van.  I was so impressed with his sense of duty in cleaning up and being a good little man.  

I had only my phone on me at this moment.  I was trying to capture a picture of all the men together, but I didn't get a chance to take that photo.  Here's a picture of Jordan unloading the flooring.  

Philomena was excited about her lunch when she woke up after her nap after Mass today.  

The toy/school room has a primer on it, because the stains were so bad.  The picture below reminds you of how bad it looked after Jordan ripped the wallpaper off.  The room has a beautiful view of the backyard and the blue spruce trees (I hope that's the name of the tree).  I chose blue forest paint for three walls in this room and the other wall near the closet will be something else.  Maybe Prairie Sage?  Not sure yet.

Here's the color of the room:

Blue Forest

I think it will help having a dark color in this room just in case someone decides to test out markers on the wall.  There is a huge dry erase board in the girls' room that we will bring downstairs  to  this room and make it look more like a casual classroom.

Here is our new flooring!!!!  Pai, want to come help lay down some flooring?!  

Here is an update on the rest of the house:  

Not much going on upstairs besides mudding the cracks and prepping the walls for painting.  

By the way, I love and don't care for this cave at the same time.  I love how much fun the children have in this cave, but I fear someone will fall down.  I think we will have a rule that we only go upstairs when Mommy or Daddy is upstairs to help prevent any injuries.  

Here is the giant dry erase board we will place downstairs.
