Cabinets and paint and stone and tile

Quick post...
Kitchen cabinets are in--the whole house is painted white...the ceramic tile is delivered..and the house is locked, because the "good stuff" is in now!

Collin's room is a nice shade of tan.
Sarah has 2 walls that are a pretty pink.
We have the paint for our bedroom, but it may be too blue, and not quite gray enough. We will have to see.
Here are the photos:

 Sarah's pink walls--just those two, the other walls are white--

should be a nice contrast with her bedding set.

 The first part of the stone--what a nice color match and combo.

Can't wait to see the rest of it up on the porch!

 Kitchen cabinets--there will be crown molding on the top.

The color is so pretty!

Island (La Isla) is so great. I love the shelf on the end.

A place to put "pretties"!

Paint?

Hello all...
Just a quick update
Today the texture was sprayed on the walls.  Thursday/Friday will be the primer and paint spray (just an off white everywhere).
Next week, the carpenter comes in and the trim, floors, doors, cabinets, etc will be installed.

A small window for us to paint a few rooms.
Sarah's bedroom, Collin's bedroom and maybe our bedroom.
Looks good on paper--
However, this weekend, me (Ann) and my Mom are driving to Erie PA to attend my Mom's God Daughter's wedding. We are leaving on Friday, returning on Sunday.
Labor Day weekend, Ann is flying to Memphis to visit dear friends...(without Wally/kids...)
I will be gone Friday 8/31-Tuesday 9/4.
Guess we (I) will be painting during the week after work....can't wait!  I love to paint! (Seriously)

About 8 weeks out from moving in..hard to believe, the time is going by so fast!

Days of Drywall

These  photos are a few days old--mudding and taping is finishing as I type this. Should be spraying early next week--and then they will paint (off white).  We hope to get in and paint the kids' bedrooms and maybe the study--but I am not ready to committ to paint colors quite yet. We want to live in the house--see the furniture pull together, etc.

We bought our new kitchen table (top looks like reclaimed wood..and a nice light color) and the chairs are black--awesome contrast! We also bought our new leather sectional for the family room (a light carmel color) and our new King size mattress--I may never leave that bed!

Just a few photos--more to come:

We are about 8 weeks out from moving in!!!!!

The Installation of Insulation

Say that title 3 times....installation of insulation...installation of insulation...installation of insulation--means drywall must be near!

We went to the house hoping to see the siding done (it is about 80% done) and were surprised to see plastic on the windows--and about 75% of the insulation!!!

Here are some photos:

This is the family room--fireplace on the left



Collin's room--he is so excited about the corner windows!



Sarah's room--her window faces south

Our room--check the trey ceiling!  And yes, that is Wally, trying to get out of the picture!

Siding above the garage

So gorgeous with the blue sky!

So--we are getting there--we are over 1/2 way done--still targeting mid October--the builder said final walk through is usually 8 weeks from drywall.....while apartment life is good, house life will be better!

Keep coming back for more posts!

Beautfiul Trim....

All the trim is on--all the windows are in (2 are broken..and will be replaced). Siding is started--the color is the color of wheat--golden (ironic, as I can't eat wheat...but whatever...lol!)  So beautiful.

Thanks Diane and Brian for coming to see the house it was fun to give you the tour!

Here are the photos from tonights house visit:

The front porch--I LOVE the brown trim...

The first siding is up...so pretty! We love the contrast!
