Wed, 22 Oct 2008 02:34:37 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Wow... so we haven't been keeping up on this, have we!?! Well, I am participating in Apartment Therapy's Fall Cure this year. For those of you who don't know about Apartment Therapy, you totally need to go check it out. It has so much inspiration and it's just fun. The Fall ... http://www.baylybattle.com/2008/10/21/the_fall_cure/ Making some updates. Photos are broken. Standby. -Ted. Edit: Not broken now, but CSS is all screwy. Will fix later. -Ted. http://www.baylybattle.com/2008/10/21/photos/ Ok, so I just posted about working on the basement right... so guess what happens? We had a little flood!!! Ok, I may be pushing it a bit far saying a flood but there WAS water all over the floor. I was doing laundry and went back downstairs to switch ... http://www.baylybattle.com/2007/04/11/ha_i_spoke_too_soon/ I know, we are horrible people... we have this fabulous blog and it has been months since we've posted. It isn't really our fault. We haven't had the money or the time to do anything around the house... I'm sorry! We still have to do a bathroom post as it ... http://www.baylybattle.com/2007/04/09/we_suck/ Okay... no... we're not dead. That would be a crying shame right after finishing our kitchen, I think.

The kitchen is pretty much done now. Last weekend with the help of Morag (a co-worker of Shannon who has knowledge of such things) we tiled the countertops and backsplash. They look really amazing. We went with a ... http://www.baylybattle.com/2006/08/08/the_veil_of_secrecy/ Yes, I'm yelling! I haven't had a kitchen since March and I want it to be done. Granted we are now in the 'I can actually cook things' phase of construction but with no counter top and no sink in the kitchen it is kind of annoying... way better... but ... http://www.baylybattle.com/2006/07/11/i_cant_wait_for_the_kitchen_to_be_finished/ We are completely aware that it has been a while since our last post... but we've been so busy actually doing work! Plus there is also the fact that we want to do the wow factor on a finished room... and we are nearing the end! Ted will likely post ... http://www.baylybattle.com/2006/06/27/a_quick_sneak_peak/ Ok, so people have been commenting about the fact that it is oh, so surprising that I have a red kitchen. Just to let everyone know, it was actually Ted's idea.
