House is rented! BUT now we have to finish the master suite...AHHH!

After a week or two of being listed for rent we found some great renters! Big relief for James and I, but now this means we have a lot of work to do on 1167 Jackson to make it liveable for our new renters. The main project is finishing up the bathroom we are currenlty adding to the upstairs level. We are converting a big walk-in closet to be the master bath and  have added a new walk-in closet to complete the master suite. I'll keep posting photos as our project completes. Sorry for the low quality images - used the camera on my phone.

Electrical work is completed and we just agreed on the paint color - whew!

Almost finished - HA!

oh yeah, livin' the dream right now...

All new plumbing!

Oh course, all this new plumbing creates a mess in our kitchen

Kitchen Updates

James added trim to the tops of cabinets! yay!

Small, But Needed Updates

I love to cook and if given my choice I would kill to have a gas stove, but I suppose there will always be sacrifices I'll have to make through out life. OK, I'm really not that pretentious, but seriously our old white stove had to go. We have all stainless steel appliances and this bad boy was one of the last couple of pieces to our puzzle in the kitchen. We actually had our eye on this Frigidaire stove for a couple of weeks and to our surprise last night during one of our many weekly trips to Lowe's our stove had been placed in the clearance section with almost $140 taken off the price being that it was the display model. Well James likes a bargain and even more then that he loves a challenge so we asked for another 10% off. We got it for only $550!

Oh yeah, that's lookin' good!

But our light in the dining room wasn't lookin' so good. So while most people were having a pretty typical fourth of July holiday James and I updated this light fixture as well as painting the living room and hallway (which you will have to wait for living room pics).

After

We’ve been looking for this type of light fixture for sometime now and were actually contemplating making it ourselves, but we were able to pick it up at Lowe's for around $250. Currently is not on the Lowe's website :(
