Then & Now – 3/12

Hello all~

Things are moving along slow and steady on Norton Road. In good news, the crew was back to hit the punch list this week and have about 2/3 of it completed. In contrast, we are experiencing some setbacks in the paint department. As the house is settling and the weather is changing, we are seeing some cracking and bubbling of the new paint in a few spots. There is not much to do but wait it out a few months and get the painters back in to clean things up.

As well, it's hard to believe we moved in 8 weeks ago and still don't have our window shades - but yep - Smith & Noble has managed to screw up the RE-order now, as well as the original order, so we are on order #3! 2 weeks, hold breath.

In the meantime, we have been working on the powder room design and starting to think about furnishing the screen porch –– posts to come.

For now, since we are getting requests for some before and afters I thought I'd do an updated version. Here we go:
