Our latest project and it's a huge project
We're adding on to our house by making our dining room bigger.
We're opening up the entry from the living room into the dining room.
We've been saving for quite a long time to do this...a LONG TIME. And I do mean saving. And it's almost done!
Here's the foundation going in...
Framing going up.
There will be a door leading from the new addition onto the back porch...

The Colonel is home for a few days this week.
He's painting tomorrow.
The hardwood floor gets installed on Monday.
And exactly what will I be doing today?
What any good wife would do... I'm going shopping for new curtains!

How do you have time to do a big project with getting ready for the Colonel to deploy. You guys are amazing. Tell him Happy Veteran's Day from my family to him.

How Fun! You are gonna love it!
I always wanted to do that in our last house, but we never got it done....we just "moved" to get a more open floor plan. Ha! (:>)
Can't wait to see the finished project pictures.

That is really exciting! I love the way you are opening everything up. I'm sure it's going to be beautiful when you get it all done. I hope you will share pictures with us.

WOW - that certainly is "a project"..more than a project, I think. It looks great...and, my goodness, how even better it is going to be with those new curtains!! Enjoy your project all the way to the end - and then some:)

This is so exciting to have a new room for Thanksgiving! I can't wait to see the progress as it is finished and then your decorating it:) Ho pressure right before the holiday, right?:)
Oh- I laughed when I read your comment for me re: "only two cookies!" -- That was the rule at our VBS too:)
Happy Tuesday!
