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! :)

 

Drywall Is D.O.N.E.

It's a miracle!  As of today the drywall is completely done which makes this the fastest thing that has ever happened for this house!  This afternoon I went out and painted a couple of samples on the wall because paint is the next thing I need to turn in to the builder.  I can choose up to 3 colors, but right now I'm trying to decide between the 2 light colors and and the 2 dark colors.  I'm at a loss for what my 3rd color should be, but since it is included I feel like I need to choose something and save myself the work later!

SW Zircon, SW On the Rocks, SW Peppercorn, BM Kendall Charcoal

Before I painted anything my favorite two were the ones in the middle -  "On the Rocks" and "Peppercorn".  I'm still loving Peppercorn, but I like the Zircon as well so I'm torn on which lighter color to use.  Tomorrow I'll go out again to see how they look when dry in case that changes anything.  I'm planning to do a dark color on the upper half of the wall in the dining room, laundry & mud room, possibly the 1/2 bath off the kitchen & the master bedroom.  Everything else will be the lighter color.  Logan wants his room to be blue so I need to figure that out as well.
