Halfway There!!

We are halfway through our bathroom/mudroom renovation and down to the wire!

We volunteered to host Father's Day dinner/my Dad's birthday on Sunday night, so we're trying to finish unpacking/decorating/renovating in this week.

This is from last week, but it still gives you a feel for what the tile looks like. I'll take another tonight.

So far

• tile in both the mudroom/half bath is completed!
• hot water heater, washer, dryer are reinstalled

Remaining:

• purchase new toilet
• purchase new pedestal sink

we love everything about this look--especially the beadboard!

• drywall and paint half bath pretty greyish blue

We really don't think we'll have everything installed by Sunday, but we're hoping to at least have the drywall up and painted.

Check out this awesome slow cooker cobbler recipe from Paula Deen that we're serving up for Father's Day:

Ingredients
Filling:
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen strawberries
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen blueberries
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen raspberries
1/3 to 2/3 cup sugar, depending on your level of preferred sweetness
1/2 cup baking mix

Topping:
2 1/4 cups baking mix
1/4 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions
Spray the insert of a slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, toss together all the frozen fruit, sugar and 1/2 cup baking mix. Transfer the fruit to the slow cooker. In another large mixing bowl, stir together 2 1/4 cups baking mix, 1/4 cup sugar, melted butter and milk with a wooden spoon. With your hands, drop bits of dough on top of the fruit in the slow cooker. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top of the dough and place the lid on the slow cooker. Turn the power onto high and slow cook for 3 to 4 hours until the topping has puffed and the fruit is bubbling.

Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

YUM!!!
