We finally finished some projects!  Amazing right? We finished all the floor (took us 5 months... geesh). Its so nice to have it all done and out of the way. I didn't think it would happen!

We also finished our kitchen cabinets. They turned out nice but there are a couple things that I want to fix, surprisingly enough i'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to refinishing things. And there are a couple places on the cabinets that are distressed too much. So that one is about 95% finished!
To put the crown on Shaun had to router off a weird lip. It was worth it but i'll tell you what, every single thing in that kitchen was FILLED with saw dust. 


While browsing some online yard sale sites I found a bunch on celling lights for 20$ that means I only payed 3 dollars a piece! Score. I couldn't reach the celling (even when standing on a chair)  so Shaun had to do them all alone. He was getting pretty sick of it, as you can tell. 

And our last little project we did was an entry way table! When we bought our flooring it was delivered on a pallet, so instead of throwing it away I decided I wanted to build myself a table! 
I was pretty proud of myself, I did a lot of it with out Shaun, but lets just say i'm far from independent. Our idea came from this....
And this is how it ended up! I wanted a darker stain and a bit more of a sturdy look, success! 
We were really excited with how the grain turned out. Pretty yeah?
