Aloha and Welcome

If you're here then you must have clicked on the wrong link some where back there.... If you are here on your own volition then you must be interested in the progress of our Danish/Vietnamese house. Its been a long, dusty road filled with saw dust, wood glue and BUCKETS of dry wall mud. But with each pass of the sand paper our house is looking like what we dreamed it to be.

Flooring is now in.....

Yay!  So this past weekend Danish Man and I put our mind and bodies to it and painted the kitchen and living room and got some of the flooring in.  You can see from the pics in the previous post that the blue in the kitchen looks really nice and is a great compliment to the bluish purple in the dining room.  The painting didn't take too much time but it does take a toll on our shoulders, back and arms.  We painted on Friday and Saturday night with just one light source to guide us.  Lucky for us it worked out.  Why you ask we didn't paint during the day, let's say we had "other"commitments *coughsurfingcoughbakingdogbiscuits*


While I was out on Saturday morning Danish Man went ahead and started to put up the cabinet door for the cubby hole that houses my stand mixer.  I must say it looks freaking awesome and I can't wait till he builds a slide base for the mixer so I can slide the mixer in and out.  No heavy lifting for me! 

Then on Sunday while I was out scooping dog turds in the backyard. Danish Man went ahead and started to install the flooring from the kitchen into the living room.  I tell you all it looks fantastic, and reality is hitting me that the house projects are coming along and will end some day!  Yay!!!!!  I must say that I am one lucky lady to have such a talented and skillful husband.  The flooring is bamboo and I'm so excited to have hardwood floors in, after living with concrete flooring for over a year now.  Mind the kitchen floor, its slate tiles and I need to mop it and clean up all the doggy paw prints.  Also we need to install a cabinet door next to the stove, the first one was cut too small.  But doesn't the kitchen look splendid?

In the picture above to the right is our "picture" window that looks into the dining room, we plan to put a counter on it and perhaps some bar stools, unless I decide to start putting little flower pots and pictures up there.
