<p>My son Jon also went and had a great time. Although I did not get to photograph him and his date, I did get a picture of him with his sister.&nbsp; :)</p>
<p>It was the longest night ever for me.&nbsp;I'm normally in bed by 11pm on weekends.&nbsp;This was a 2am'er for me.&nbsp; :(</p>
<p>Here are some of my favorite images from the night of Katelynne and her boyfriend Jay, and the last of Katelynne and my son Jon.</p>

I still need to get baseboards and doorframes painted and put back in place, but wanted to start on removing wallpaper from the kitchen to get it ready for painting.</form></p>
<p>I'm toying with the idea of restaining the cabinets and floor (floor is same color wood as cabinets) a darker color. I'll update here when painting is complete and have a vote on stain color for cabinets and floor.&nbsp; :)</p>
<p>Here are some before pictures so you can see the transformation.&nbsp; :)</p>

        <![CDATA[My office is (semi)complete.  I still have a couple of places up high to paint, but other than that, and replacing the curtains, my office is finished.  Still a little disorganized, but what else is new?  I have never been the most organized person in the world, but I'm going to try to be better about that.  :)
This shows the complete office, my supply area, and the entry.  I still need to buy door frames for the entry there by the table though, when I was removing them to paint and tile, they split like dry crackers!  I'm hoping to be completely finished with this whole project this year.  ;)
I still have to finish grouting the showroom, but with no AC it's a hard job to complete as it's so hot in here!

        <![CDATA[I'm getting closer to being done!  I still need to lay tile in Fred's corner of the office, then I'll start grouting my showroom and his area when the tiles cure.  Then all I need to do is finish painting the office, paint baseboards and put them back on, buy more doorframes (they crumbled like dry crackers when I took them off) and paint them and put them up, put the carpet finshers on in the hallway (I decided not to tile the entire hallway due to I'm not a professional and the hallway angles and I don't want to mess it up and make it look stupid!  LOL ).

So, when all is said and done, I'm hoping this place looks absolutely GORGEOUS!
Gimme some feedback!  :)
