The Final House Update

  We have scheduled our move for the 21st of this month, so we our moving come rain or shine.  The wood floor is in, and it looks gorgeous.  All the doors have handles now.  Our filler front doors have been replaced with our real front doors. All the closets are done, the majority of the light fixtures are up, our hardware for all our cabinets are in patiently waiting to be installed, and the carpet will be in on Valentine's Day. 

  Downstairs in the basement we wanted to put a door that closed off the media room from the rest of the rooms for additional privacy and to help block noise.  We couldn't put a traditional door or a pocket door, so we needed to put in something that is called a barn door.  It slides on a track in front of the opening to close it, and to open it slides down its track in front of the wall.  The guy who was building the barn door suggested we make the door a bookcase, so it looks more natural I guess.  We thought that was cool, so now we have a sliding bookcase door. 

The fabled tiger wood finally installed.

Our real front door!

Avery finally pulling her own weight and helping out around the house.

Harper also helped clean by crawling all over the floor and dusting it with her clothes.

This is the hallway we are blocking off with our sliding bookcase door.
