A few new things in the house

Hey guess what. We have a few new things in our house! Like this... a bartop!


Yet to be stained, mind you!


and these... handrails!


And looky here.... we have actual running water!

And Todd put some of my shelves in the art room cabinets to get a feel for the real thing.

And it is time to pick out drawer pulls and knobs! Woo hoo.

And there are cute kids sitting in the dining room!

In their bathing suits.


Drinking 32 oz cokes from Sonic!

And now our travertine floors are grouted!

And I am still having to make hardware decisions... pretty....

OR.... funky?

Our bathroom floor is complete!

And Todd's shower is almost there too! (red paint is some kind of water proofing stuff)

We even have smoe pretty glass tile trim!

And they started my fireplace...

which is proving to be a VERY labor intensive project!

There are no regular, straight edges! So, these little puppies have to be individually moved around to make a square edge.

And my plants from my LH are thriving!

even BLOOMING!

Oh. And we have a front walk way now!

And AIR CONDITIONING!!!

And Todd moved over this "fancy" table and chair so he could sit and rock on the incomplete back porch while sipping a beverage!

But not "incomplete" for long! We used some of the travertine for our outdoor countertops... just need grout!

ANd these cabinets are now wrapped in the old cypress wood.

and have really cool rustic doors on the bottom (just not in this picture!).

And the time has come to choose the backsplash for the kitchen. I like the matchstick style above.

But Todd won with that transparent-y green that was supposed to be the accent tile in our bathroom. Now , it is in our kitchen, above the stove!

yep. Speaking of stove... I think we are "cooking with grease" now! Only a few more weeks! Mo

Mo - don't forget about the guy in Canton with all the knobs. I can't remember right off the bat if he is in Pavillion 4000 or 4800, but he can save you so much on hardware. We saved probably $700 on our house.
The house is going to be just beautiful!

What fun! Have to tell you that the laundry room backsplash is still my favorite. Funny, since I do abhor doing laundry!
