The finishing touches are going in! Estimated time frame for move in is 2-3 weeks! You can really start seeing the finished product at this point! The garage doors are in, and the decorative hardware will be going up soon! The beautiful stained louver vent is up and it looks amazing.
The tile shower and tub surround are almost finished, and they look absolutely amazing. I couldn’t be happier with the tile. It looks so much like natural stone and totally makes the master bathroom. I am dying to see my cool sphere light fixture go up between the tub & shower
The guest bathtubs are no longer green and the vanities are in!
Everything is so clean and ready for floors to go in!
I had been on a mad hunt for granite for weeks, so one day on my lunch I decided to go up to Paradise Granite to look. I was searching for a light Giallo Ornamental, and it was nowhere to be found. I walked out onto the granite yard at Paradise, and there it was! It was like a light shining down on those slabs. That stone was created just for me:) It is going to be perfect with our white cabinets and wood floors. It should be making it’s appearance in the house next week!
We are going with a straight edge on the countertops! I think it will look nice and clean and compliment the shaker cabinets well!
I picked out our sinks last week. We are going with the white square sinks for all of the bathrooms and the stainless single bowl kitchen sink.
The grass is doing well and looking so green and pretty!
They started on the pump house this week! Zac has a great idea to make it look like an old chicken coop and I love it! He is using rough cut pine and is going to white wash it to give it that neat worn look! I can’t wait to see it!
Don’s mom gave us Grandmama’s dining room table and I absolutely love it. The table is so beautiful, it just needed a little attention. Don’s mom and I watched a video on how to strip stain off furniture. It seemed easy enough, so we headed to Lowe’s and got everything we needed for our weekend project. (stripper, steel wool, rubber putty knife, & gloves) By the end of the night, the whole family had put some elbow grease into this table. The first stripper we bought was Goof Off stripper paste and it worked well, but the Jasco Paint and Epoxy remover did wonders on the table. All in all the project was a success and the table turned out gorgeous! We found parson chairs at Kirkland’s while we were on the hunt for mirrors. We ended up stripping the honey finish on the legs of those to compliment the table. We are so thrilled to have such a special piece of furniture in our home.
The projects continued with putting together our new outdoor furniture from our Memaw! It is so beautiful I can’t stand it!
Marked master bedroom furniture and mattress off the list this week!
Sunday will be our 1 year anniversary, and it couldn’t have been a better year building are forever home together!
