Stove Hood

The vent hood for over the stove that I showed in the last post is done and hung. It will be painted white to match the cabinets.  

Fireplace progress

I think it's safe to say that my vision for the fireplace might just push our builder, Jerad, over the edge.  Jerad agrees that it's a cool idea, but he told me he's not even going to take a picture of it when it's done because he never wants to do something like this again! Jamie told Jerad he's actually getting off easy because Jamie is the one that has to live with me and put up with my ideas every day! Ha!

 

 

I also had the idea for Jerad to build the vent hood for over the stove.  I found it in the garage and I'm loving how it is turning out. It'll be painted white to match the cabinets. Funny story - Jamie actually left the room when I was telling Jerad about this idea because he couldn't handle any more of my "What about if we did something like this..." questions for Jerad.  I think he thought for sure Jerad was going to kill me.  (And for the record, Jerad was excited about this idea!)

 

 

 

Well, we're getting closer but did get the news that our builder needs an extra week.  This means we are closing on September 19th.  Based on how things were looking Jamie and I both figured that our September 12th date would be pushed back so I'm thrilled that it's only an extra week. 





Siding is done & we are just waiting on stone.

Stairs are getting started.



There will be transom windows over the entrance to the dining room and the living room from the front door.



Deck is nearly done.



They finally added the extra cement to the basement patio.

Cabinets Installed!

Kitchen Island...patiently waiting for it's counter top!

Drayden & Logan's Bathroom

Master Bathroom - Jamie's side on the left and mine on the right.

The bar down in the basement.

We are officially 15 days out from closing...who wants to bet that it'll be done then?? 

My Open Shelves

The other side of the kitchen....

 

 

I can't wait to fill these shelves with cookbooks and pretty things from my mom and grandma!

This weekend...

After many delays the siding has finally been started.  White trim still needs to go around all the windows - hopefully that'll all get done this week.

Friday they started installing the kitchen cabinets.  

Both Friday and Saturday we celebrated Jamie's birthday...I guess you get two days when you turn the big 4-0!

The Last Month!

As of today we are officially one month out from the day that our builder told us he would absolutely be done by!! 

Things will really be changing over the next few weeks and I’ll keep you posted. 

Painting started and I'm happy to say that I still love the two colors we picked!  I can't wait to see how they pop out once we get the white trim work added (it should be delivered today)!  Also, the back patio has been poured, but it was supposed to go to the edge of the house and right now it is ending at the edge of the door, so they'll need to come back and finish it off.

Dining Room - there will be wainscoting half way up the wall in white.

 

I had Logan run around the back of the house and get some pictures of the deck and cement.

 

 

When he was done and handing the camera back to me he told me that he took a couple extra pictures while he was back there, because he didn't really know what all I wanted. 

Here are the "extras" I ended up with....thanks so much, Logan! :)
