Now It Gets Exciting!!

OK, so I have a feeling that Jesse may be posting still pretty often, but the decor shtick is mine.....    All mine....

OK, not really, but I like to think it is....

Drywall is up!!!    Here are today's photos (how 'bout that, I am actually updating on the very same day I took them....  It's going to snow, or hurricane ;)

 Not only is the drywall up, but the brick is also on - AND the garage door...   It is looking more and more like a house :)

 Ah, the front steps....  OK, the front plank, but steps will be forthcoming...  In the meantime, when we left the house, the kids were made to "walk the plank"!
 From the front door, past the stairs - there is a powder room to the right (not in photo), and also a mudroom on the right (entry in photo).  The "dining room" is on the left, but our front room will be our "quiet place"...

 OK, I know, I know....   Front door is not really exciting, right?  Only, it kind of is....   It has glass!  Every place we have ever lived has had those solid doors....  This is pretty :)
 Very possibly the most exciting thing for me was to see that our cabinets were ready to be put up...  I wonder if there is an island in any of those boxes?!
 The pantry doors....  Or, maybe the Bonus Room doors...
 The double-basin sinks for both upstairs bathrooms...

 My love is 6'3".  That's a TON of headspace in the garage.... 
And this is what that headspace will be used for:





 From the kitchen looking into the family room.  The kids have already determined that the Christmas Tree will go in the corner to the back right of this photo - and the piano will go on the wall the photo faces...
 The kitchen - from the family room....
 The morning room - Just LOOK at ALL that LIGHT!!!

 Bonus Room - aka Craft Room...  The nook where the girl is will have 2 cozy armchairs and a reading table...  She's 5'7".... Glad for the headroom :)

 Master shower....  Dude, crazy cool - we have TWO shower heads!!!  That's not even the best part...  The best part of our bathroom is that the toilet will be in it's own little 'closet'...   LOVE it!!

 Master bedroom - we got the tray ceiling...  
And I did not get a good picture of the super large closet we will have...

Thinking that the kids can wear roller skates and get those little bracelets and necklaces that glow in the dark...  And a frisbee....  And just play TRON in the basement....
Actually, we plan to have an archery and shooting range (airsoft) down there until the basement is finished...  Might be some skating action, and a nerd war or two - we'll see where the imagination goes with that....

Next post will likely have siding in the photos...   and maybe the cabinets!  

Countdown to closing: 34 Days

  1. LOL... I think it was supposed to say "nerf war" but "nerd war" is probably just as accurate...

  2. LOVE the lighting in the morning room. There is just something about great light. I'm hoping that our house sits at the right spot to soak up some beautiful light. Congrats on the progress! And I just love your door. That is the type of door we plan on replacing ours with because according to our SR ours will be without windows.

  3. Michelle, I know what you mean about the lighting!! I used to "window shop" houses and I always loved the ones with lots of windows! When do you break ground - any idea?
