Sneak Preview

To finish the guest room, we now only lack a light fixture (yeah, we've been in this house for over a year now and haven't done that yet... French people take light fixtures and even light BULBS with them when they move, so we've had the bare-bulb decor going on for quite some time now) and the new furniture, which I don't know when we are going to have to time to buy.

So in the meantime, here's a sneak preview of the new laminate Frederic put down. We love it! I'll do before & after pictures once we are all done.

The downside is, of course, that the rest of our house now looks even worse in comparison. Whoops!

Next on the list is the bathroom. Since the marble top of the vanity broke off over a month ago, we finally ordered a new vanity which we hope to be able to pick up by 2 weeks from now. They don't tend to keep these things in stock here, apparently. And while we are waiting on that, Frederic can work on the bathroom walls, then we will attack the hallway and the other wall we have yet to remove.

And that is just the house - there is also the yard to contend with. Benjamin and Frederic removed the tomato plants a few days ago and all the hedges need to be trimmed.

I don't anticipate us getting very far on all of that before we go home for November since we're also going on a 4-day trip to Germany next week and need to have an ultrasound, see my OB, and Frederic needs to see his ENT all before we fly home.
