Well this week has been pretty awesome, Dad got an absolutely FABULOUS check up and was a rock star when it came to his barium swallow test so we were on cloud nine and then I drove back to Dallas and saw this:
the remaining snow on the stone. (caitlin and i had the pleasure of driving through the snow on the way to houston on sunday!) :)
the stone fireplace is in! :) Waiting for our mantle to be built...it will be wood!
from the upstairs looking down....ohhh and our hardwood floors are in!!! The guys are coming once it gets warm to hand scrap the floors and stain them.... we think they look pretty darn good already! :)
we went with bead board doors (sp?) ...this is one going from the bedroom to our bathroom - we added extra trim around all the doors downstairs and the door ways downstairs 8 ft instead of the usual 6 ft since you know we are so tall and all
our bedroom with our purdy floors
our laundry room cabinets! :)
the wet bar upstairs without the sink and icemaker. oh yeah, and forgot to mention the cabinets have not been stained yet...they will all be dark wood....oh and dad, the wood is knotty alder.
this just makes pat and i laugh....the trim guys went a little nuts and trimmed the mini door to our ac ducts in a closet!...yeah, pat added up how much extra that cost us. oh well, just money right?? :)
our stairwell is in....the guys that made it did an absolutely gorgeous job! :)
our kitchen!!! i don't know if ya'll can tell but they are antique white with coffee colored glaze and the island is going to be a brown stain.
another view of it! :)
and my favorite piece..the Angie piece as everyone is calling it! :) I found this on a interior decorating blog and just loved it and told Patrick I would give in to any of his whims on the house if I could have this for our dining room! what i was going for:
what David made: (note: they are coming back to fix the cabinets and put the chicken wire in and then add the diamonds to the bottom pieces...they just forgot) and we are going to have it painted or we are going to try and pain it....we will see how that goes! :)
We are really excited how it turned out and how its going to turn out once done!
the house is coming together soo fast and is looking so great to us! :) We cannot wait for everyone to come and see it and of course once we move in, stay with us! :)
We are in Austin this weekend for friends wedding and so excited to see all our Austin friends and family! :) Thank you Mary and Chris (and Duggan) for letting us stay with you and stealing your internet connection to write this!
Have a fabulous weekend everyone and stay warm!
xoxo
