Waiting is not my cup of tea

Sorry for the lack of posts but we have had so many things not go our way lately I just could not muster the words to write a post. We have decided to move ahead and booked the moving truck for Thursday the 5th of July. It has been a long year of renovations and we can not wait for them to be finished. Hathaway feels like home and we hate to leave when we head back after a day of working on a project or stopping by to check on what has been completed that day. Here are some snap shots of things I thought you might want to see.

The family room floors after scraping but before stain. The new windows and wainscoating and glorious sunshine

The floors after the stain and poly to make them shine.

One of most favorite things.... Gas Lamps they are beautiful, but really pretty in the evening. Will post a photo once I dig the Nikon out of a packed box.

And our last project to date... the weathervane. The cupola has been up for a while and we (me and my sweet hubby) decided today to complete the project and add the weathervane. Did I happen to mention we live in TEXAS and it has been over 100 degrees everyday this week. Make no mistake it was an oven up there. I did comment I am glad I did not have this garage growing up or I would have laid out on top of it to tan (really I mean burn myself to a crisp with baby oil and iodine) all the time. It looks fantastic but it was totally an I LOVE LUCY episode to get it finished and installed. That friends, is another story for another day perhaps after we move in. Thanks for stopping by for a visit.
