The move happened. . .FINALLY! We were scheduled to move on the 27th but due to snow got postponed a day. Our neighborhood in Woodinville had/has quite a bit of snow so it made moving very difficult. My poor car even got stuck at the bottom of the hill for a few days. . .and just when we think its over--its snowing again!!! Anyways, we are in the house now and getting settled. We've already started a few reno's. Zach installed a new shower head, kitchen sink faucet and he and his cousin Charlie installed canned lighting in our basement. The basement is our first big project. In addition to the lights we are going to paint, add a wood stove insert, reface the fireplace and add carpet, new molding and window coverings. We are very excited for all the changes. Next will be cutting of lots of trees on our property for safety and cleanliness--we have pineneedles everywhere and its driving me nuts.
The new faucet--I wish I took a pic of the old one, it was horrible!
The old lighting in the basement, there were two of these, one at each end. One didn't even work and as you can see the lighting was still dark and dungen like.
The new canned lighting, softer already. We have them on dimmers as well so we can make them as bright or as dim as we want. The fireplace will look totally different in a few weeks. . .hopefully. :) We also will need to patch up the ceiling--obviously!

I LOVE the canned lighting! It already looks warmer and cozier. Did you do that on the other side, too?
Congratulations! It looks like you have been quite busy!
Glad to hear you are finally in! Can't wait to see the "after" pics!
Looks like you have some fun projects in your future! Watch out HGTV!
