Where’s Jonathan?

Written by kelly on September 14th, 2008

I know many of you are used to having Jonathan update his livejournal and flickr photostream and that’s maybe not happening as much lately. Sorry about that. Here’s a brief explanation:

1. We got married. It took a few days (okay weeks and months) for us to plan things.
2. I moved into the house. Then we moved around the furniture (and then I moved it around a bit more while Jonathan was out one day).
3. For Memorial Day weekend this year, we cleaned up/dreamed up a plan for our yard. You saw the photos on that one.
4. He’s replaced the closet doors in one of the bedrooms.
5. He’s painted the bathroom in our bedroom and added some decorative touches.
6. He remodeled our hallway bathroom (complete with ripping out the vanity and vinyl flooring and replacing it with tile and a pedestal sink and also installing a new mirror and lights and medicine cabinet).
7. We hang out a little.
8. We’ve added teaching Sunday School to our activities (and we LOVE it-they’re great!).
9. He’s currently painting the guestroom. Photos on that later.
Here’s a photo rundown of the bathroom remodel….in case you were wondering.

It started out looking something like this (yellow walls, sort of plaid floor, weirdly scratched up vanity):

Then Jonathan got it down to this:

Which is when we did this:

on with the light blue paint! by J. McPherson.

So he could do this:

And with some help from Jacob, got to this:

on with the tile flooring! (our friend jacob gave us a hand here.) by J. McPherson.

Which ended up looking like this:

almost-finished product! (i) by J. McPherson.

and this:

almost-finished product! (ii) by J. McPherson.

I know, it’s completely impressive! Who knew he was such a handy fellow?!?!

A big thanks to Jacob who helped with the tiling! We really appreciate it! And of course, Thank You Jonathan for being willing to completely change the sink and the floors all because the existing sink and flooring clashed with the paint I really liked.

    Wow! That looks great, I love the color of the walls. I am way impressed.

  5. It looks … beautiful!!! That seems like a strange word to describe a bathroom, but breathtaking seems stranger still.
