There's nothing like a vacation to reinvigorate and refresh. Apparently my whole house thought the same thing, because for the last two weeks almost every room has decided to take some time off. First - and most troubling to the girls - was the lack of internet (hence the lack of a blog all this time). Service was just resumed yesterday and I haven't seen the lights of Julia's or Grace's eyes since. Next, Tom took some time off to have a vacation of his own (is that legal? are contractors allowed to have a life while in the middle of your job?). In the meantime the humidifier leaked all over the floor; thank goodness it wasn't on the new floor or I think Darryl would have taken a machete to it. Then there's the issue of the girls' bedroom, which basically needs a leaf blower at this point before we can even think about cleaning out the closet.
But as I said, time off can be a great thing. We all feel energized and ready for the final stretch of the remodel. Tom spent two days last week grouting and sealing the bathroom tile and he's ready to install the fixtures. The hardwood floor is resting in the new room, acclimating to the temperature and humidity in there so that it will fit perfectly when it's installed. Best of all, I have lots of fun ideas for the master closet and Tom seems almost excited as I am about building it.
I'm looking forward to blogging about these last few weeks and sharing as many photos as possible. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions for the closet, please let me know. After all, it's probably going to be the most important room in the house!
