Are you ready to have your mind blown?
There is now paint on our walls!!!!!!
Ok, maybe that’s not as exciting to you as it is to me, but this week things started really chugging along!
Our flooring has been delivered and is in the process of being installed and our kitchen installation starts today.
The sewer lines are installed and the pool is in.
The doors are hung and the trim work is getting started.
The siding is about 90% finished.
So. Many. Things. Happening.
Want to see pictures of paint?
We chose colors from the National Trust for Historic Preservation (available at Lowes) and the painters had them color matched at Sherwin Williams because they said they prefer working with SW paint. I wanted to choose colors that were timeless as opposed to trendy and I didn’t want anything too “in your face.”
This is the girls’ room. It’s La Fonda Dawn.
Our master bedroom is Woodlawn Silverbrook. See that small doorway? I call that The Harry Potter Closet because it leads to a “cupboard under the stairs.”
The main living areas are Churchill Hotel Ecru. I love the way our DIY fireplace looks on this wall now! We still have some caulking to do and we need to build a mantle, but it has really come a long way in just a little over a week.
By the end of the day TODAY this room will be housing my kitchen cabinets. (Finally!)
On to the outside.
They are really making a lot of progress on the siding!
This is what the porches will look like when we move in. I want to finish the front and back porches as soon as we can because the unfinished look of the raw wood just makes everything look so, well, unfinished.
I am squealing with anticipation about showing you the pictures next week. Mostly because of…floors!
Steph! You have a HOUSE!!!! 🙂
RIGHT?!
Wow wow wow! Great colors. Fire place looks AMAZING! We are going to finish up our project this weekend while my little girl is away. You are so blessed and lucky. Apartment living will be worth it.
Thank you! I’m really looking forward to seeing your tv wall too!
I was a real estate agent in another life, or so I tell myself, and I can’t get enough of these shots! Congrats on being *thisclose* to finishing!! Love the Harry Potter touch 😉
I know what you mean, I’m also obsessed with real estate. Sometimes I stalk our local listings just because I like to see the pictures of inside. Thanks for humoring my HP reference. When I tell people “and this is the Harry Potter closet..” I usually just get blank stares until I am forced to explain myself.
Love the Harry Potter closet. So cool! My daughter would be there all the time. (She is almost 19 too.) I’m excited to see your cabinets and floors next week. It’s fun following along with you. Yippie! You’re almost done!!
Thanks!! The wood floors are already mostly down and they are looking really good so far! The cabinets started going in yesterday. I think our contractors have been thrown for a little bit of a loop with this Ikea system. It took a while to get everyone on the same page, but so far so good. 🙂
I look forward to your blog every day to see how your house is coming on – its looking good. Please keep sharing – we built our own house, and I’m almost reliving the excitement of that time again… Thanks for sharing.
What a sweet comment. Thank you, that really made my day. I will definitely keep sharing. It’s a fun (and sometimes stressful) process. It’s so cool to be able to see the end in sight now!
