Busy.... busy... busy!!!

Well..... The oompa loompas have been BUSY!!! Here's a sneak peak!!

Grinding.... and grinding.... and grinding.... The carpet glue was tough stuff!!! I guess they make it better in the 70's than they do now! Whew!! After 2 days of grinding we were done. *sigh* Grinding, that is!

After scrubbing the floor 3 times... Out came the acid stain!

The path to.... The Unknown!

I'm SO glad the floor didn't end up this color! :o)

After scrubbing it ANOTHER 4 times... It was time for the sealer!

3 coats of that later....

We were DONE!!!!

And... Very sore!!!

We need tile on the entryway.... But what is that?

It looks like my boxer left her mark! :o)

Our carpet guys! Whoohoo!!! Thanks guys!!! Looks great!!!

So now you have a SNEAK PEAK at what's happening around here!!

Be sure to stop by Feb. 7th for our GRAND OPENING! It looks like chaos now.... but just you wait and see... We'll have it all together by then! :o)

Cleaning up our pottery wheel with Tami!

Can't wait to get a display of our pottery together!

Painting and distressing the wainscoting.... It looks so much better now! Very homey!

We love all the space here, but you never realize how BIG it is till you need to do something with it!

Want a tour???

Okay.... So if you find yourself in the unfortunate position of being bored to death... And if ya have 12 minutes to kill... And you want to spend it checking out our new building.... Here's a "tour" Gracie recorded the day we closed on the building! :o)
