My House was in order, but now its a mess. I hope to have it back in order someday soon.
I will continue with my fairy tale posting later.
So when I got home, all the living room furniture was in the new room, except for the TV. It feels really weird to have the new room, and with the furniture in it. Tomorrow he will set up the TV and move my desk back to the office and I have work to do when I get home. :) I have taken some pictures of the the new room with the furniture in it, I will post them later this weekend. So my messy house will becoming a close. :) I am going to close, for tonight, I need to look through my scrap booking cd's and see if I can find something different for my moms back ground. So until tomorrow have a great night. THE END

Yeah baby, the floors are done. We are finally getting there, although not soon enough for me. :( I swear after this renovation is over, and I pay off Home Depot, thats it with them. They have mislead us so many times with this renovation. So I won't even go there with this post as it will be come the Home Depot Night Mare Novel, By Rochelle and Jose Fernandez :(. Oh there is good news with them, the sink is in, the bad news is no faucet. So I have a sink, they say. So now I need to decide what I want to do. Yea I know I need a faucet. I'll sleep on it for tonight, and call the store manager in the morning. After all they did tell me my complete order would be in on Tuesday, although it didn't until today minus on item. 3-4 weeks more for that. Oh I thought I wasn't going to go there about Home Depot. Move on to the next subject. Lets see whats new and exciting. Nothing, so I will leave you with a few pictures of the tile.

New Room with tile


Before


Surprise

So whats all this, mean, well lets see, Monday morning it was off to Home Depot to buy the paint for the foyer, got home had to go to Lowes, needed more paint for the new walls, got home with that and the painters mixed, the paint for the foyers, with the glaze that was for the sponging, so it was off to Home Depot again, so that's how I spent my Memorial Day, Fun right. So any way the rooms are all painted, and today the tile arrived, which was supposed to be here yesterday, but that was another problem. So after Jose complaining, the dropped the delivery charge and $50.00 dollars office the bill. So needless to say they are here laying the tile and will finish up tomorrow. I can tell you all one thing, I will never to another remolding again,this is way to much for me. Now we are deciding if we are going to change all the tile including where are living room is now, and having it all match. So on another note I will leave you with the colors of the new room.

Before


After

Hello and how are you? All is well here, they are still in the progress of painting. Although they are just about finished, and that part is over. Tomorrow the tile will be delivered, and on Tuesday they guy will be here to lay it down. And Wednesday he will come back to finish it. So this renovation is coming to a close soon. Pretty much what is left is the kitchen. And I can't wait till that gets done. I think I am going to get off here and go to the pool, we have the pool and this year we have not used it once. But then again when do we have the time. ha ha!! So I will try and post some later, tonight. I will also download some of the pictures of the colors we choose for the rooms and share with you all.

What can I say, I get bored easy. So here is another new look, I actually like how this turned out. And if you read my moms blog there is a surprise there waiting for her. I know that she usually checks out mine first, so mom go ahead and check out your page. SURPRISE!!!! Well we have the office painted and the kitchen walls that need painted, as the cabinets will cover where there is no paint needed. They still have the new room and another coat on the office wall. Well this is just a short post to say you are reading the correct blog, just another new look from my whimsical mind. Here are a couple of layouts that I also worked on today.

So here it it Saturday and the house is full of painters, painting the rooms that need to be painted. Once the rooms are done, I will get some photos to share with you all. But now I need to open some windows in the room that I am sitting in, its really hot in here and the paint is getting to me. Okay the windows are opened. lol. So on the other topic of my title. Change of counter tops. Well I can't post the color of what I choose, as its a surprise and a secret. I can tell you that its not granite and that its marble. When Jose saw it, he fell in love with it and called me at work on Friday. So I had an early day on Friday and met him there to see it, as I had another color picked out for the granite. So once I had seen the one I picked out in the sun light, it had a lot of orange in it, and orange would not have gone with what I have already ordered in sinks, tile for the floor and the paint for the walls. So after looking at the one Jose picked I also fell in love with it, although it is a little more than what we wanted to spend, but we are only going to do this kitchen once. So we went with it. But like I said I can't post it a picture of it until after its layed. We finally got some rain the other night and a little last night. Although we could sure use some more. I think I should close this post for now, as it is becoming a book.

Well soon the weekend will be normal at our house, or at least I hope so. This Saturday, bright and early we have the painters coming over to paint inside of the house. They will also be there on Sunday. Monday the tile will be delivered and Tuesday they will be there to lay it. So we are moving right along. I can't wait to get the house back in order. Especially the office, now I have the computer on the kitchen table in the Sun room, and mind you the table is not very big. So I think after the tile is layed, I am putting the office together first lol. Well I need to get back to work, so I will try and post some more later tonight. See you all here again soon.

Okay I know that it takes me a while to figure things out, like trying to get pictures of what the kitchen will look like when its all done. I have also added a picture of the new entry way into the house. well guess what I just figured it out. So I will share them with you now. The colors that are in these pictures are not the colors we choose. All of these designs are done by Jose cousin Miriam who is a kitchen designer.

The new entry into the house



Well I must go for now. See you all later.

Good Morning to you all. I was going to update last night, but with looking at all the granite colors and edge cuttings, I was just to tired to sign on to the computer. :) Well we have bought the last item that needed to be bought (I believe thats it. We now have the counter tops ordered. I am going with granite. Now I just need the cabinets to be here and then get them installed. But that will all happen very shortly. I am so glad that this is almost over. Well here are the samples of the granite that I picked out for the kitchen.

This one is for all the counter tops



This is for the Island

Well we have finally ordered the Ceramic tile for the floors, So thats another think off the to do list. The painters will be at the house to paint the inside of the house on Saturday and finish up on Sunday. Then Tuesday the guy will be there to lay the floors. I can not wait until this is all done. We are looking at June 6 or 7th for the new kitchen cabinets to be delivered to the house. And then it will be time to install those. Well this is just a short update for now, maybe later I will post some more tidbits of whats going on in our lives. So until then, may the angels watch over all of you.

What does this mean, well the paint is bought for all rooms of the new additions, and even one for the office. Faucet and sink have been ordered from Home Depot. So that three things off the to do list for the renovation. Now its just ordering the floors. The painting will get done this weekend. Other than that all is well here in the Sunshine state. Although we could you some rain, which we haven't gotten in a while. Well I am not sure what else to post about, so I will leave you with the pictures of the sink and faucet that I have chosen and will be in, in two weeks. And also a couple pictures of the new look to the kitchen, can't wait till its finished.

I am sitting here trying to think of a title and can not come up with on, and I can't think of what I want to blog about, so I guess that means, there is nothing exciting or I am just tired. Our weather has been rainy, the last couple of days, we could sure use some more, but I guess we'll take what we can get for now. Well I guess since its taken me a while to think of anything, I am going to try and work on some layouts, and maybe even get the Wacom out, and practice learning it, after all I have had it for a while. So until later.

What is that you ask, well, the dry wall part is done, so there no more white dust or dry wall paste, every where. Yeah. So we are moving along, now is where we go and look for the floor for the foyer, living room, the office, as we want that to match the new living room, and most of all the kitchen. I am hoping to have the new kitchen cabinets the first part of June, or a couple days after that. I am so glad that most of this is done. Although we still have to paint the walls, in the kitchen and all of the new rooms that we just put on. I still have to go to Joann fabrics, to pick up the fabric that I want to redo the pillows for the couch to match the theme of the new room. Maybe I'll do that during the Memorial Day Weekend, as I have that Monday off. So its a long weekend for me. Well I am going to call it a night, as I am tired, and I want to turn in earlier then I usually do. So I will close this for tonight and hope to back again real soon.
Have a great night.....

Sorry Mom its a little late. Was very busy painting the house on Sunday. Still not done.
Here is my mothers day tribute to you.....

Well since I am sitting here in my make shift office, with my computer on the table that belongs in the kitchen, I thought I would share some layouts that I have finished and I will update you on the house in a later post tonight or maybe on Monday, as I have my post for tomorrow. But you'll have to wait on that one, as its a mothers day tribute. So now for the layouts.

I wish on vacation, but unfortunately, I have been working on getting the rest of all this mess completed. In the last three days we have had three inspections. First it was the windows, doors and framing, then off to the electrical and finally today it was the insulation. So tomorrow we have alot that will get done, the new living room will get its dry wall put on, the French door will get put in the office and the electrician will do all the hook ups into the fuse box. So once again the house will be full of workers, and more dust. A least I can say we are getting close, which I am glad on that part. As for our weather, it has been very hot, and we even had our first named storm, which is very early for that to start. So I guess we are in for a rough hurricane season this year. But there is good news on this years, first named stormed, it has fizzed out and there is no threat to us. Although they were calling for some rain from this storm, so I hope that we will get some of the rain, which we could really use, as there is so many counties here in Florida that are catching on fire. And we can smell the smoke from where I live. So I am prying for some rain this weekend. Tomorrow I hope to have some time to make some cards, and even do some scraping. I have a couple of cards started, just need to find some time to sit down and work on them. Well I must close this for now, as its getting late and this is becoming a book and I don't want to put you all to sleep. So I will leave you a few pictures.

"Mothers Day Card I made for my Mom" (Mom, I mailed it late, hope you like it)




(A view of the new addition. It still needs painted)

I was reading a scrapers blog that I had found, and she had this great page. She did a layout using a Bible Verse. And it just happens to be one of my favorite Bible verse. I am going share this layout with you. I never thought to scrap a Bible verse. Ummm now I have a new idea that I am brewing with lol.

What is this you are asking, I have kitchen walls now. Today they came and put the dry wall up in the kitchen. It is starting to look like my kitchen. Again today I had a full house of workers, there where the guys who put the dry wall up and then there were these two ladies, who came to tape and paste the dry wall, yes you read right two ladies, I was also surprised, as thats one job you won't see me doing. LOL We also had the electrician continuing with the lights and running all the new electrical, which he will be back on Tuesday, so that on Wednesday I can call for that inspection. Also here to day was the outside painter, which he will be back on Monday to continue. I am not to sure on the color that Jose picked,(as it seems a little bright) as soon as he paints out in the front I will take some pictures and show you all and let you all decide. Tomorrow is another day of work, as the ladies will come back and finish up with the texture on the walls and then the kitchen walls are done, I still need to order the tile for there, so maybe on Monday I will have Jose measure and let me know so I can place that order. Hopefully we will have all his done in another two weeks, and then its just waiting for the cabinets to arrive, and then have them installed. Let me tell you all I can't wait for this to all end and get my house back in order. As all this mess is not me and I hate my house like this. Okay I will share with you a couple of layouts, that I have been working the last couple of nights of Rochelle time.





So until another day maybe tomorrow.!!!!!!!

Oh and Happy National Scrapbooking Day to all those Scrapers out there.

Yes its Friday, I had a post ready, but just decided to say HAPPY FRIDAY to you all and I see you here tomorrow. Grey's on and then my next Friday evening show......

I couldn't think of a title, and since it seems like all I do is ramble on and one, that's what my title is going to be. The house project is moving right along. The ceramic tile is gone in the kitchen, and tomorrow Jose and our neighbor Tito, who has been so helpful with all this, will take the ceramic tile in the old entry way out and a little in the dining room. The it will be to Lowes to order the new ceramic tile for the Kitchen and the entry way. So lets start with what will be going on in the next few days, tomorrow also the out side of the house will be painted. As soon as its done I will take some new pictures and down load them to here. On Saturday we have the electrician to finish up and also the sheet rock installers will be here. So once again Saturday will be a full house. But at least the Kitchen will have the walls and it will be ready to paint. Which I can't wait to do that. Now for some Rochell time lol. The last couple of nights I have had some quiet time to my self and have gotten to scrap a few layouts, make a couple of cards. I will post those all later, as one of them I can't show you all yet, until that person receives the card. Hopefully she will like it. I have also started a new book, which with getting some time to scrap, I am not making time to read. Too many fun things todo. Well I am going to sign off and finish a couple of more things that I have started before turning in for the night.
