House Progress

We are getting a new kitchen sink, faucet, and countertop installed next week! I'm pretty excited because the kitchen we have is original to the house, minus the primer on the walls. The countertops are stained and the sink is a nasty porcelain sink from hell...which also gets stained very badly. For a while the sink was leaking pretty bad, and the sprayer doesn't work at all. The sink is also only 5 inches deep, and I need a deeper one.

UPDATE: This is the new sink right before it got installed.

Willow's room is STILL not painted, but tomorrow I will be using the cattle prod on the hubby to get him moving along.

UPDATE: Progress has been made on Willow's bedroom. You can see that HERE.

We've been trying to find curtains for our bedroom and living room, but the ones I got for the living room are not working out. I got the crazy idea to try Willow's royal purple sheers in the living room, complete with a swag on top, and it turns out they are really beautiful with the light shining through. I promise I will give them back to Willow when her room is ready. ;)

We are also looking for a bright jewel toned comforter set for our bedroom to go with pictures in ornate gold frames and our buddha statue. We're also considering bamboo shades with pretty colored sheer curtains on top. This old house is a lot of work!
