It's coming together!

So, my brother Kent gutted the bathroom Wednesday night and dry laid the tile down to see which ones he'd need to cut and how many he'd use. Thursday he made the cuts and installed the floor. The mortar was taking forever to dry- (probably because the house is cold because I don't leave the heat on..) Right now there's a space heater in there to hopefully speed up the drying process so the grout can be added. I'll have to paint before he puts the toilette & sink back in so it'll be easier to paint. Can't wait to start on the closet and the lighting & everything else that still has to be done in there. It's definitely getting closer to being done.
Myrna came over tonight and brought the seat cushions over. We spent some time taking out a lot of nails out of the wood, and then cutting batting and the fabric. Leah helped cut the material and is screwing the tops back on to the chairs as I type. They're beautiful! Below is a picture of one of the 3 layers of fabric that were on the chairs. It's a good thing Myrna knows and likes to do everything because if not, I'd have to do it myself, and probably would end up not doing it. (like re-doing 2 tables, 8 chairs, a dresser, a night stand and a kitchen cart- definitely not a project I would have done by myself.)

Here's the end result. I love it! I'll add another picture with all of the chairs around the table to get the full effect. It may not be until tomorrow though. We'll see what the night brings. It's still early.. only 10:30. lol.
