Phase 1 of our remodel

So we are in the thick of our kitchen remodel, and since I want to wait until we're all done and do a big reveal with before and after pictures, I did want to give a tiny glimpse of what's been going on here.  So I'll tell about the first phase of our new carpet!  We had all 5 bedrooms carpeted, plus the game room and sewing room.  Three days later, we all helped Mike move his office home into one of the bedrooms upstairs.  He is LOVING working at home and not having to go out in the cold, dark early morning hours.  

This is of all of us moving everything out of the bedrooms into the family room, living room, and guest bathroom (doesn't Cam look thrilled to be helping?)  It was a huge undertaking and we figured with the time all 6 of us spent moving everything, it totaled about 12 hours. 

 That was the easy part though as we learned the next day when it came time to put everything away. . .  Two carpet installers worked from 10:30 am until 8 pm laying the carpet, which I LOVE.  I'm so excited about it, and to have it in the other rooms as soon as we're done in the kitchen.

 Here's our bedroom with the new carpet.  I love it, and love that I don't need to vacuum nearly as often as with the lighter.
