The Kitchen...I LOVE IT..so much space! We have been working hard at getting used to where things are placed and how to use all the counter space. Still things to change or put away, but we love it.

This is the only bathroom we have working right now. It will be Addison's bathroom, once the masterbath is finished.

The Office...much work unpacking boxes yet to do.

Living room...comfortable for now. Chris is going to be working on the incasement for the fireplace. Also trim will need to be started soon too. But we are living here and that is the main part.

Addison with her pumpkins and her new kitty Oreo! She was so excited to find it at Grandma and Grandpa Wicklund's house. Not sure where the name came from?!

Helping get the "stuff" out of the pumpkin. She wouldn't use her hands.

Minnie Mouse pumpkin stick-ins from Grandma Donella!

Addison cleaning up the sugar she spilled while helping mom make brownies in the new kitchen.

Dad hanging with Addison and Maddie on the couch when no one was feeling great! We love spending time together in our new home. Come visit us!

Cabinets, Flooring, and Addison!!!

Addison so proud of her Princess shirt!

Thanks Jeanne! She was so kind to get started painting the stairway down the stairs. We LOVE the color! It will look great in the living room!

Addison found out she could hide in the pantry! She had a great time while mom and dad were working on some things!

Phil and Chris were working hard on cabinets. There is only a couple left, plus the island. Exciting!

Walnut flooring in the living room.

Tile floor in the kitchen.

Phil finished the wood flooring in to the bedrooms. Looks great Phil!!

The tile and wood look wonderful together!

Cabinets

Chris and Phil hanging cabinets. They were working hard on a Saturday!!
Thanks Phil and Chris!!!

Chocolate and Coastal Surf...who knew they'd look great together!!

Addison after a long afternoon at the new house!
She crawled up there all by herself, she was that exhausted, didn't even want to move for supper. I really couldn't blame her, it's a lot for a little girl!!

Chocolate and Coastal Surf Master Bedroom!! My new favorite colors!!

Chris has been tiling the kitchen floor. He worked until 2am the other night just to keep things going! What a husband!!

Chris and Addison checking out Grandpa's work on the lights!! They work!! Yeah Phil!

More electrical work. Things are moving along!

Chris worked on Addison's tile bathroom floor. It matches really well and looks great, just needs some grout.

Lighting in Addison's bathroom, funky lights.

The fireplace arrived this past week! Yeah!!!

More Painting!!

Addison starting to paint in her room...she started on the closet first!! What a big helper!

Chris painted the office Blue Agave. It is a great color, we really love it!

Jeanne did some great edging today!! There are a lot of edges in a big living room!

Addison's bedroom is Pesto and Colorado Springs Blue! These colors match her quilt that I bought for her when I was with the Fulsaas clan, thanks Jannelle these colors are great together! I can't wait until we put it all together!

Yes...the green really is that BRIGHT!! LOVE IT! Thanks for the idea IDA, I really appreciate your input, it was a fabulous idea!

Sheetrocking, Mud & Tape, Texture and Paint!!

Addison helping out at the "new" house!!

Gary Tlusty working hard on the mudding and taping.

Addison already loving "living" in the country! Give her a bucket and water and she is set for a good time ALL day!

The Tlusty's texturing our walls!

Chris taped all the windows to protect from texture and primer.

The walls before the texture.

Kenny Tlusty walking on stilts to do the texturing on our walls. It looks fantastic! They do a phenomenal job!

Sara and I putting on the first of the paint! Butter Rum Orange in the kitchen...stepping out of the box to be bold on the new house! I LOVE IT!!

One coat on....one to go!!

Kitchen butter rum with the living room brown teepee! Looks good together!

Corner Fireplace wall.

Hallways and going down the stairs (which will be a blue color, adding a little color to the living room)...one coat done, one to go!!

Kitchen again! Thanks Jeanne for doing the edging.

More pics to come. Sorry for the delay, busy, busy, busy here at the Wicklund house. We will be doing more painting again today, look back for updates this week. We hope to have a VERY productive week...we will see! Thanks to all our friends and family who are helping, we couldn't do it without you!
