Building the Dream: Drywall and My Covered Porches!

This week and every week from this point forward will be super exciting!

First, the drywall is up!!

It’s amazing how much this changes the look and feel of the space.

I’ve already picked up the AirStone for the fireplace and we are planning to install it on Saturday. Hopefully, I’ll have a big reveal for you soon.

One of my favorite places in the whole house is the girls’ shared bedroom. I love the double closet with the window seat (which will double as storage). I had the electrician add a recessed light that wasn’t originally in the plan because I want to create a reading nook in that area. I’m also in love with our extra tall windows. The ceilings are 9 feet high (12 feet in the vaulted living room) and the tall windows let in a ton of natural light.

The pool is going in! I took this picture from our back door. I pinch myself every time I look out at this view. I don’t think I’ll ever get over the fact that this gorgeous space is our backyard!!  (It’ll be a little more gorgeous without the construction fence and giant piles of dirt.) I can’t wait until next summer when I can sit on the back porch and watch the kids play out here.

 And speaking of the porches…They are in!

One of the biggest reasons I fell in love with the design for this house was the large covered porches on the front and back of the house. I forgot to take pictures of the front porch, but here are a few of the back.

And the siding is continuing to go up as well.

Only ONE MONTH left on the schedule! This time next month we will be moving in!!!!
