Christmas at 615 Summit

This Christmas is really exciting as it is our first as a married couple and our first in our new home. We have so much to be thankful for! Look in the mantle picture above, I knitted and felted the red and green stocking (It took many hours of work!) then I found the red and white one for $10.00...can you believe that!? After the festivities are over, we will hopefully be working on our bathroom and maybe installing our microwave.

Halloween...1.5 months late!

Halloween was our first holiday at 615 Summit. Unfortunately this year it fell on a Wednesday when Joey had to teach. So, our friend Kirbie came over to greet the trick or treaters with me. My favorites were the two matching hispanic girls wearing snow white costumes...they were so cute!

The Kitchen

When we bought the house, the kitchen and appliances were in pretty bad shape. The range had a crack in the glass, the dishwasher had a tremendous leak (I'll get back to that), and the refrigerator was outdated. We purchased new appliances and our goal was to install new ceramic tile floors before delivery day. Pulling up the first layer of flooring revealed the dishwasher leak, the wood backerboard under the linoleum was soaked all the way across the kitchen. Luckily however, former residents were lazy and there were 5 other layers of flooring to protect what we thought was subflooring. As it turns out all of those 7 layers of flooring were on top of 3" heart pine hard wood flooring (whoo hoo...major score!). After scraping up black tar like material off of the wood, we were able to bring in a floor refinisher who did a great job making the 60 year old floor look new again. Our appliances have been delivered and our new countertops installed. These are our progression pictures.

Hi Everyone! Joey and I recently bought this house. For the past 6 years it has been a bachelor pad, and empty for 6 months before we bought it. Needless to say, it needs a lot of TLC and a few updates.
