I Like New Carpet On My Socks!

Carpet is in! Eeww...after looking at it on the blog...it doesn't give the carpet justice...it looks way more matted down and gross...trust me it is much better in person!
Feels good on the feet:)

Shattering of the Granite

Main bath/Guest bathroom!
Steve-o aka inspector gadget this one is for you...looks like a beauty now! Thanks again! How's that cookbook by the way haha!

Sink in the half bathroom
Dirty kitchen sink...we love having this black quartz and granite sink...will be nice to clean and it is scratch resistant...it better be!
Granite is finally in....it's got shades of brown with black...
You can see how original it really is on the bar...it's got major brown splotches but we think it looks amazing and totally unique!

We have a garage door! Looks like driveway, stairs possibly, patio are all going to be poured soon!
So side story...our granite should have been put in on Monday, but it wasn't. I was feeling a little frustrated, but we were talking with Nate the builder and he told us that our granite did come in on time but the company hired to install the granite had a little problem. As they were hoisting the granite into the house one of the belts broke and the granite landed on the ground shattering into pieces...whooooopsies! Holy toledo...glad I didn't see that one!

It's Dinner Time in Our New Kitchen!

Beadboard around the kitchen bar
We added some pull out drawers in the kitchen for easier use and storage

Finally!!!! The garage is poured...stairs go in tomorrow!


Master bathroom countertop...love the way it looks with the cabinets and tile



Main bath....looks great with the tile....good job to James...he picked the counter tops for the main and master bath...I did the half bath one downstairs.




Crown molding around all the cabinets..we love how the distressed look came out on the cabinets





Kitchen sink view...we added the valence overlooking the window for a personal touch...love it!






Half bathroom vanity...quite quaint







Looking into the kitchen minus the granite countertops coming Monday morning! We are down to about a week and a half before our clsoing day! It's amazing to think they are almost finished, but they said they would be. Can't wait to move in! Quick shout out to my dad for doing a home inspection with my sister Linzi...we appreciate it sooo much! James and I love our home and can't wait to start moving in!

We never thought in our wildest dreams we would be able to build a home we just adore and love so much! We are very blessed and I am thankful everyday for the blessings that I have in my life. I can't wait for memories to begin happening in this home of ours.
