H*T makes me want to gut an entire house.

I don't know why, but I love checking her blog and seeing new posts.

Who is H*T? I need some new blogs to read.

I just wish she wasn't pregnant because you know progress will slow right down when the baby comes.

I might be getting bloggers confused, but she's been on bedrest, so it was already slow. Handy Husband (okay that is a cute nickname) has been doing all the work.

I just looooove those floors.

I don't think I would want to gut an entire house, but it sure does make me want a 'handy husband' :

Haha, I have a handy father-in-law instead. Which is pretty nice.

Something about bringing new life to an old house.. I don't know. Plus, I like her choices (for the most part, though I don't like that floating vanity).

I agree with this.  I've liked a lot of her choices, but that floating vanity doesn't work for me in terms of proportion.  I would have liked to have seen it reach the one wall--I think that slip of space is so awkward, and they have zero counter space to put things on (even a pedestal might have been better).  I think they could have DIYed something amazing to custom fit that space--the IKEA just looks too short (length wise).  Though I love the idea of a floating vanity.

I can't wait to see the kitchen/living room done and styled!

That mirror.. It just... Love it. I can't even form complete sentences about that mirror.

I know, but at least on bedrest she could write stuff and compile posts. With a  newborn, a travelling husband and two boys we're going to be SOL for ages.

Well you know what they say about denial... (I'm denying that this will happen. It's helping a little lol.)

Me, too, and look great and not want to kill my H while doing it!

LOL. But, your older one is five. A five year old is so much less needy than a  two or three year old! And he probably will be at school, right? You'll be almost like a mother of one most days, and then there's the attention span of a five year old with a new DVD. It's not like the poor baby will be woken up to be hauled off to preschool dropoff and pickup twice a day.

I could handle reading 5 of her posts a day, but I'm happy that she chooses to only post when she has something and the inspiration to do it. It makes her stuff so much better than some other blogs. Although, I am nervous about a drop in posts with a newborn.

Love the floors. That bathroom mirror also makes my heart go pitter patter. Love that her H is handy hubby. And I like the floating vanity. It's not my style, but I think it looks good and will look better when she's styled the room.

Also, her family is just so good looking. I can't wait to see the baby, and I hope it's a girl.

Oh no, I'm in denial about her posts slowing lol. My life will probably not be too insane when the baby gets here. Maybe just a little.

I love her style and the way comes across on her blog. She seems real and I like that. The house is coming along really nicely! I can't wait to see it all done.

ROFLOL! "oh, yeah, I'll have a newborn in a few months. ho hum. BUT OMG!!!! House Tweaking might drop to once a week when she has hers! EEEKK!!!!!

Even funnier that I agree. But, it's even worse because Benita Larsson is pretty much done with her house. That woman is a power house of energy.

I can't wait to see the baby. I'm going with Team Pink.

I am also team pink for her I love her and her blog. I actually went to the website she got her floors from and just ordered the same ones for our new house! I loved the sample I got and love how hers look. Can't wait!

I live HT too. But dislike the vanity.
