We have had a busy & exciting week here at the Gaffney household!
Our built-in's are pretty much built. There are some detail pieces that need to be figured out before painting/ staining these items. The tile guy started the prep for the master bath and should be working all weekend on the floor & wall tile in that area. Our pantry is stocked and loaded - I am waiting to put the fronts on until the painter gets to the surrounding area. I also finished laying out the area rug. It is made up of plank carpet tiles, so I had to layout my pattern, cut/ trim some of the edge pieces and use a gluelessTac Tile system to hold all of the pieces together. It is a small square, that is sticky on one side and you use it at the seams and intersections of the tiles to hold them together. They are smooth plastic on the side facing the floor, so that they literally 'float' off the floor. They work great, no mess or adhesives - nothing that is bad for the earth.
Tomorrow, the sectional, table and shelving for the new family room will be delivered as well as some new furniture for our current living room!
Most importantly, the best thing that happened this past week is that Robin's sister, Katie and her husband, had their first baby! She had a little girl named Molly - she is beautiful and my kids are THRILLED to have a new cousin!!!

Ok, so I have been slacking and need to get everyone up to date on what is going on in the addition...
Our existing & new floors on the 1st floor were sanded and finished a little over a week ago. Grandma Kaye was kind enough to let us stay with her for the whole week and we moved back in on Saturday and were able to open the windows and air out some of the fumes because we were lucky enough to have a warm day! The floors look great!
Unfortunately for the floors, our built-in's are now being built on site & there is sawdust everywhere! We have paper on the floors to protect them, but the dust is just a given :(. The good news is that our built-in's are being built, which is exciting for me!!!
Pocket doors went in the Master Bath last week as well - we are still waiting on the full frosted glass pocket doors for our master closet...can't wait til I can get everything in and start using it - this could possibly be my favorite part of the new addition!!!
Last, but certainly not least, Robin's monster TV was installed on Friday! He sat and stared at the black screen Friday night for at least an hour (even though it wasn't working yet!).
I kept very busy over the weekend, putting together our new pantry cabinets from Ikea. Since we are not redoing our entire kitchen at this point, this is an area where we needed to make a transition, so this was a good solution for us! This kept me busy most of the weekend. Hopefully, I can get moving on putting the closet shelving in later this week.
Also this week, painters should be finishing up, and porcelain tile should start being installed in the master bath. Getting closer!!!
