Floors---- check!!

As you can see they got the sanding and refinishing and staining of the floors done last week.. many things SHOULD happen this week..like doorknobs, our shower door, shelving in the closets- etc., etc. And hopefully toward the end of theweek we will have the weather cooperate and they can do some grade work on the front yard so we can get the front steps, driveway and sidewalk done.. TWO.MORE.WEEKS!!

Lots of Little Things

Well finally the weather let them pour the patio- if you can tell they cut a tile design into the concrete to make it look a little spiffier... :)

Here is a pic of the fireplace without the scaffold in front of it.. I am glad to see how it came out.

Here are a couple of pics from our bedroom and bath...

I really like the way that the tub looks... just wish I could take on in there right now!!! The cabinet front matches our cabinets in the bathroom.

And as you can see they did our backsplash for our kitchen- YAH! This week they will be sanding and finishing our hardwoods... luckily they can do that no matter what the weather brings!!

Countertops are IN!

Well our recent development is that the countertops were installed today... in both the kitchen and master bathroom. YAH! So now you can see it is all starting to really come together. The faucets were put in as well.

Here is a pic of the master bathroom... with faucets! Exciting!

As I type they are finishing with the installation of the lighting... and I am going to meet with someone about the shower door and shelves for closets etc. The most exciting news that Clint had today was that they were going to hang our blinds for us! SCORE!!! :) They also were able to finally get the gas meter on and so they were able to turn the heat on so the floors can start getting acclimated- hopefully they will be working on that stuff next week.

Will keep you posted- looks like T minus about 33 days until we are living there.

kitchen cabinets!!!

I am so so so excited about my kitchen cabinets- yes I know they are not like normal ones because they have different color base and top cabinets but I really am happy with the way they turned out. YAH! And they have also installed some of the lights as you can see from the picture from the dining room. I will have to take apic of our bathroom because the cabinets are in there and the tub front too- but I didnt do it because there was someone still working in there. I am hoping my countertops will be in soon as well! :) YAH!

Short week - lots done

Even though it has been a short week this week, I do think we did get many things accomplised. As you can see- we added columns on the front and back porches. They are planning to pour the patio next week and hopefully the sidewalks
etc soon.


I did want to share some exciting pics of th cabinets!! The blue room is the laundry room- it looks done- I mean you can see the floor-the sink is in... counters are even in!

This is a picture of the entertainment center in the living room that was built from scratch- I am excited about that as well- I can see many, many pictures that I have had in storage on those shelves already!

This is a picture of the guest bathroom- cabinets + countertops in! The paint needs another coat. So it will be a little darker.

Here are some pics of my dining room- with the 2 paint colors finally.

Inside shaping up too

Yes we have SNOW here... and evidentally a tantalizing mud puddle that some little boy with his dump truck could NOT resist going through with his dump truck... It was cold, cold as you can see from his pink cheeks...

Here are some shots of my dining room- you can see the idea I am trying to go to... the color will be different... darker underneath the chair rails and inside the squares... and you see the idea of the fireplace- we are super excited about the way it is looking! Also our shower too... as you can see- the grout has not been put down but it should be this week. And then here is a pic taken from the dining room into my future kitchen and thru the living room.. Exciting! They are going to be working on closets this week and hopefully getting a lot more painting done.

Finish with the exterior

So, other than rough grading the yard and pouring the patio, front sidewalk and driveway turnaround... we are done on the exterior... Yes, I am so excited to see all of the choices that I made up together and they look good together (or at least I think so!) Whew!

All of the interior doors are hung... and as you can see the trim around the windows and doors are done... and the baseboards are in..

You know what this means... paint colors... ugh... I thought I had my colors picked out but after seeing a sample of them on the wall.. I know I dont. I guess I know what I will be doing this weekend... :) I am thinking the countdown is ON... I feel like putting a sign up to tear off the number of days that we have left in the apt.. (cannot be too sooon.. get me OUT OF HERE!!)
