hodge podge weekend

peter and i struggled a bit this weekend... as a matter of fact sunday afternoon we decided to go home and watch movies (after peter started threatening to put the house on the market)... we did manage to get some stuff accomplished though... well actually peter got stuff accomplished, after looking at the pics i realized that i pretty much floated around doing nothing... i did manage to paint the dining room the most lovely blue-gray...

peter was a champ though... first he built some super sweet shelves for my pots to sit on:

next, he built the walls in the cabinets surrounding the stove (which is waiting in my parents garage for its new home):

because we are putting in a combined stove and oven unit we needed to build a wall to hide the back of it... peter began by studding it out (which, by the way, means something totally different to a construction guy and a farm girl, lol)

then we got some bead board and....

ta da! wall up... now i will paint it and then we will put up a breakfast bar on top of it... yay...

here's a bonus, this is how peter finds a screw:

*sigh*
we also started on the guest bathroom, here is our plan:
     1. rip out the sink and replace it
     2. take out the lanolium and remove whatever weird tile is hiding under it
     3. replace the horrid mustard bathtub
     4. tile the floor in the bathroom and in the hall/laundry

here are the befores of the bath:

first to go is the sink (which, bee tee dubs weighs at least 100 pounds):

then we ripped out the lanolium and the tile... the tile was almost too good to be true:

man-oh-man i wish i could have seen that in its full glory... after removing the tile, we decided we needed to relax for the rest of the afternoon so we rented some movies and put on our sweats.. best day so far i think ;)
