Happy Fall!

It is officially fall here in New York. It is dropping into the 30's at night and the leaves are changing! We also have a continuous layer of leaves on the back deck from the trees. There is a rake in the near future.

This weekend we also discovered we will be buying a new stove. As we (Jason) unhooked the stove to move it for painting he discovered a dead mouse on the back of it as well as a pretty nasty smell. That was the final straw and outside it went. We were off the Lowe's to pick out a new stove! I'm excited because this means we will make the switch from an electric to gas range.

There have been some big changes in the last week and couple of days. Today was like Christmas, we got new carpets installed and paint in the kitchen and I LOVE the color. I will get photos taken soon and post them.

My fall decorations!

The walkway got a haircut.

The back deck. The sliding doors go into the dining room and the other door (on the right) goes into the garage.

Most of these pictures show color in the hallways and bedrooms.

White Bedroom:


Grey Bedroom:


Master Bedroom:


Half Bathroom (primer):


Dining Room:


A new refrigerator!.. Kind of. This is temporarily placed in the dining room to be out of the way. And we actually decided to return this one for one that is slightly bigger and matches the new stove.

Pantry Shelving:

Once we got going we also decided to tear out the counter tops. They were not in great shape and we were pleasantly surprised with the pricing for new laminate counter tops.

This piece of wood over the dishwasher really needed to go too. The dirt, mold, and grime in there was disgusting!

Wallpaper-less kitchen wall:

We have also replaced all the doorknobs and added deadbolts to the outside doors.


Here is the basement. It has been transformed into painting center. We are turning everything white. Including the louver doors. Big mistake.

Jason installed this motion light above the garage too!

These pictures were taken about a week ago so a lot has been done since.. I am on my way to catching up!
