Early Summer Updates

Bungalow Friends,

It's been a busy past few months--shame on me for not updating you on the happenings at the bungalow (shame, shame, shame!)

To set this up, Kayla is 8 months pregnant, so the projects have changed with a focus on making the home more newborn-friendly.

The updates:

1. Refinished the basement.  This involved repainting the walls and adding a very durable, 2-part epoxy floor finish.  The result?  The space looks finished, and has room for the "man-cave" rec-room, the office, and storage.  

The 2-Part Epoxy Floor System from a local home center
really cleaned up the floor and provided a durable,
finished appearance!


The office.  So far I don't use it...sitting on the couch seems to be
the most comfortable place to work!

What....gotta have a little fun!

2. Find a comfortable rocking chair for Kayla.  DONE!

Mission-Style Rocker found at antique shop in Indy matches
time period of home.
3. With a now-empty bedroom, make room for baby. DONE!
Our black lab wasn't as excited as we were
about this...she knows she will always
be our first child!  She's still trying to eat
all the baby toys.
4. Rain Barrel.  This was on Kayla's list for me this year and honestly, it's been really nice to use a little bit of the rainwater to water plants!



All for now!  What exciting projects do you have planned at home this summer?
