For all those of you (and there have been many) who have complained about the lack of new house pictures, here 'ya go! This is
the calm before the storm, although, with the weather we've had during this project, I probably shouldn't use that figure of speech.
We survived an ice storm, floods, a baby, and pausing our job to finish my mom & dad's house. We're on the home stretch!
This is the master bath. Tile is almost done on the floor &
you can see that Brian Reed is working on the walk-in shower
now. The circle on the outer shower wall is the template for a
mosaic. The other room shown in the closet.
The living room just needs carpet. We're so close to moving
in! Most all rooms just need carpet or hard wood. We're
installing a little extra lighting in the extra bedrooms too.
How'd you like my eBay marble sink? When budget fails,
check eBay. Speaking of budget, we're way over. Michael
says we'll be eating beans for a few years, but it'll be worth it
(he never laughed after he said it... I think he was serious...)
This is the kitchen looking on from the back of the living
room. Appliances have been ordered, so this room's almost
done.
Cole's room still needs the stripes on the bottom. He has a
baseball room (check out the fan) and the bottom 1/2 of the
room will have stripes like a jersey.
"Becky & Rice's" room just needs flooring to be complete!
This was taken from the office looking on to the living room
into the kitchen & breakfast area. You can see the tile down
in the kitchen & breakfast area.
Dining room and entry. So what's next? Well, we'll have
hard wood floors next week, then toilets (that's always a good
idea before you move in), then touch up!
No, we don't
always have
balloons in our
house, but it
was Cole's
birthday! I
snapped a few
pictures of the
living room.
Hopefully you
can see the
office in the
background.
The dining area
is on the other
side. We'll get
our window
treatments in a
month or so.
Next is the
kitchen - in work
mode. Then, the
bedroom. It's
not completely
finished in the
decorating area
yet. It looks on
to the patio &
backyard. Below
is my bathroom.
Soaking in my
tub while
watching HGTV
is just great.
Below that is the
closet.
Michael's pretty
proud because
he designed this
entire part of the
house himself.
We had a floor
plan but it was
very basic. We
added to the
floor plan for a
few months then
started building.
Michael did a
great job of
building
everything we
could think of to
make the house
perfect, right
down to the
outlet in the
bathroom for a
nightlight and
the hidden
countertop in the
pantry for
cooking prep.
He's proud &
can't wait to
show it off. I still
haven't taken
good pics of
Cole's room, the
guestroom & of
course, upstairs!
