More Company This Week!!

~Hi Everyone!~

It has been such a busy summer so far, here at BDG! 

We took a few days and had a little family time in San Diego, where we stayed on Coronado Island, and in late June, I attended a blogging conference in Atlanta.  Just a couple weeks ago we went to La Jolla to meet a friend and her family,  and this past week my sister was here for 6 days. We saw her off yesterday, and now today we are welcoming my friend and her daughter for a visit. 

My son is in HEAVEN! He loves having lots of fun things to do, and all of our wonderful friends and family around, showering him with attention. 

So, my posting has not been stellar this summer so far, but I will try to be better about it very soon! 

We are going to be starting tear out of the entire downstairs flooring in a couple of weeks. 1200 square feet of new beautiful hardwood flooring is going to be installed after they jack hammer out my very despised  travertine floors. (For those of you who currently have, and like your travertine, I give you a medal!) I found it very difficult to keep my travertine looking as pristine as I liked, and was frankly tired of the battle. Thanks to the horrible kitchen leak, I am able to replace it all with something more agreeable to me. :-)

Here is what I am going to be putting in downstairs...
It is going to be the one on the left.


Should be pretty. Cross your fingers!
I will update you soon on my other selections for the kitchen.
Just got a new farmhouse table yesterday, and I am working on new appliances this week, along with paint color, and a final meeting with my cabinet maker for the pantry wall that has to be re-built because of the leak.

I will be posting about how I transformed my master bath shower trim and tub faucet with spray paint sometime this week too!

Off to get ready for my company!
Have a great week!

    P.S.: we're having hardwood floors installed upstairs this week. The kind that need to be SANDED AND STAINED AND COVERED WITH STINKY STUFF! However you do it, your home will be turned upside down! Just warning you! Let's pray for peace and order!

    1. Barbara, Yes mam, I sure did use spray paint! I decided I had nothing to lose since I had been dying to rip it out anyway, so I gave it a shot, and it really worked!

      I am sending prayers for your sanity this week during your floor finishing process. On second thought, maybe I should just send wine!! ;-)

      Good luck to you! Can't wait to see the pics!

  16. Good day! I just wanted to tell that you definitely succeeded in making a splendid website. I also wanted to ask you something considering this blog. Do you consider the option to write as a professional or running a blog is basically just a hobby of yours?
