Transforming the house!

Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying the Summer weather wherever you are. Brandon and I decided to take the weekend to finally get some projects done around the house. With Mason's birthday party coming up, I'm feeling the pressure to get some things accomplished before company comes. Since October, I have been without a working dishwasher which has been awful! I know there are a lot of people who only wash dishes by hand and I say "good for them not me!" lol. I hate having to take time away from Mason to constantly wash dishes and I know with a baby on my hip that'll just get harder. 

Our four year anniversary was July 10 and we decided to purchase a new dishwasher as a little gift for each other. Brandon installed it all by himself! He's becoming quite the handy man lately. In one of my previous blogs I shared the farm table that he made for our dining room. He made a bench to go with it over the weekend which will be so nice! I also have 4 chairs that I am going to refinish once baby is born and I can be around chemicals again. I miss painting already! Brandon also was able to paint our kitchen over the weekend too. Our cabinets are in really bad shape and will eventually need to be replaced but we're hoping to get by for the next couple years! Don't you ever wish you could be one of those lucky people on HGTV that wins a home makeover? I do!

I also forgot to mention how the Remax interview went! Sorry! The interview went really well. So well that the team leader wanted to hire me as the buying agent for her team. She sat me down and told me their team takes a 50% commission cut, a $250 a month Remax fee, and a $155 tech fee for their lead router program. When I started to do the Math of Mason's daycare on top of all these fees I realized I would have to sell at lest 2 homes a month just to get ahead. With a baby on the way that just isn't going to be possible. I am going to look at Century 21 again because I was able to work around Brandon and I's schedule a lot easier. I'll keep you updated! Hope you have a great week.

I wanted to share this picture because it makes me smile! Mason is seriously a mini version of Brandon in almost every way. It cracks me up and I love it.
