That my friends, is the face of a hardworking boyfriend, giving off a superhero vibe with his drywall dust mask. Well, the "worst" part is done. The mud has gone up and come back down with the sanding...no, i didn't help, but yes, it was hard. Hard to live with everything covered in plastic and/or dust, and yes i did/do have a cold so it wasn't super easy to breath. As I type Mike's doing some major vacuuming. Tomorrow my mum is going to come over and help me do some more cleaning (so needed! and thanks mom!).

Next up is priming, painting, and then hanging the upper cabinets! Oh. My. Excitement.

If you excuse the mess, here's the dining room and further out, the soon to be kitchen. I wish I had little arrow's I could use to point out what things are and what's going where. The framed area in the middle of the picture will be a breakfast bar that's covered in pine instead of drywall. The pine will be from the left floor and wrap around onto the "ceiling" where the recessed lighting is. One side of the bar is going to have shelves for my cookbooks (yee!). Oh and that one set of stacked cupboards (set of 3) are what our cabinets are. That's currently holding all of our dishes and whatnot while the temporary cabinet next to it holds all of our food in a very disorganized matter. I CANNOT WAIT to have a place for everything. It's going to be AMAZING!

So in closing, I have an amazing, hardworking (did I mention he has two jobs on top of this and has learned how to do everything as he goes, wiring and plumbing included), talented boyfriend who is making me very happy right now. Oh and if anyone wants to come over and help, we're down with that! :)
