There is a ton going on at the house this week. Yeah!! The painters started on Monday, they began filling all the nail holes on the trim and sealing around the windows. The marble sink tops arrived for the bathrooms and are being installed. The ceramic tile will be finished with grout on the main floor and the tile around the bar in the basement will be installed. They will do another rough grade around the house to even out all the soil. The footings for the deck will be set, the deck started, patio poured, and the sidewalk and driveway will begin getting prepped. The laminate wood floors are getting delivered along with the counter tops and hopefully the rest of the kitchen cabinets will come in also. A lot of little things that add up to big things.
This week we picked out ALL of our light fixtures, interior and exterior. We got our long list from our contractor and went to town at Lowe's. It was tough trying to coordinate all the fixtures with each other. We agreed on pretty much all of them except when it came to the exterior lights but we compramised on those ones. We picked out all of our appliances, we're going with Black, and now just waiting for the family & friends discount week to start so we can get a good deal on them at American. The carpet samples came in and are pictured below.
We picked 3 choices: Haystack, Saddle Tan and New Linen (yes that is green shag carpet, your eyes are not deceiving you, my in-law's living room is still stuck in the 70's). The carpet is pictured with the cherry wood laminate flooring we picked out for the kitchen/dining/entryway.
We're really not a fan of New Linen because its too light so here are the finalists with the sample of the maple cabinets also, (the pictures do not do the colors justice).
And I just wanted to include the before and now pictures of the house. First is the land before we broke ground and Second is what the house looks like currently.
