1 Year and 95 Days Since 'I Do'...

Our last update was when we bought our own little home...

We are in November and we are getting ready for all the amazing holidays in our new home and ready to celebrate accordingly!

Unfortunately, we have to live through the torture of a construction zone first... So far we've missed enjoying Shawn's favorite month, October... November we won't have counters... but here are a few befores... and afters:

Floor is in... but construction is EVERYWHERE >.<

Editing suite after we ripped out the carpet!

Master suite and hallway after we ripped out the carpet...

First thing we did before we stepped foot into our new home was tear up all the carpet and replace it with pretty new flooring.

Gorgeous floors are in! Before construction and moving our stuff in...

Mom was incredible... as she did pretty much EVERYTHING. Seriously the best mom EVER.

We then got started on our bathrooms. Definitely a group effort, but let's be honest, most of the demo was still thanks to Mom. Although, I must admit, Caple has some serious skill with the tile drill (thank goodness)!

Here are both bathrooms before and during the demo...

Inside the master bathroom looking into the guest bathroom and into the master suite. TO THE STUDS.

And our amazing bathrooms AFTER... *SWOON*

Master bath gorgeous accessories... White dreamy Master bath...

Our Guest Bath Completed.... so gorgeous...!

Just got a GORGEOUS tufted white curtain for the bathroom...

I also begged my brother, D.J. for his help while Shawn has been busy every day (including most weekends) until midnight.

He helped me with the magic of floor to ceiling curtains... I would post pictures of them... but they are currently surrounded by... construction... still.

And how AMAZING does my laundry room look?! Thank you, D.J., for helping me put up these gorgeous cabinets. Thank you husband for helping me find them and get the perfect filler piece (even if it took 3, literally THREE, hours to get).

I even made the gross frame that goes around our spikets that bring water to the washer and dryer glamorous...

During this time Mom + Dad returned from Italy and my middle brother, D.J., and Mom totally demo'd our kitchen... Needless to say we've been without a kitchen for a while... Until Thursday!

I painted in the kitchen, so at least the walls feel nice and clean and ready for a gorgeous kitchen.

Of course... we still need our granite...

Which we've already picked out this past weekend. So... the anticipation is KILLING us.

This season has been gorgeous so far, but we sadly didn't even get dressed up for Halloween or do anything because the husband has been working so hard during this insane political season!

We did manage to have fun with a few friends and celebrate Shawn's birthday a few times!

Thank you to Frank + Susan for such a blast!

Thank you to my brothers and Sam for surprising Shawn and joining us for our haunted adventure!

Wednesday we celebrated our girlfriend of the family (nobody is just their bf, gf, hubby or wife to themselves in this family. They are absorbed into the whole family. That's just how it works in this family), Sam's birthday. A little bubbly and some amazing Painting Moments...

Talent, in order: Sam, Victor, Shawn, Alex (me - I made mine look like Suki, I'm not color blind...), and my MOH and gorgeous cousin, Alexis

We are so talented!

We lit her cake on fire... then we set the fire detectors off with all the smoke. hahaha!

Happiest of birthdays, Sam!

We're sorry we cannot join you Saturday as we're filming an incredible wedding...!

That's our update so far... The next one will probably have a lot more Christmas lights...

Love,
Mrs. Caple
