The First Floor is Underway!


We simply can't believe how fast our home is being built! The first floor walls went up today. This is a picture of the back of our home. Josh is standing in our back patio door. The large window on the left is in our living room and the smaller window on the right is above our kitchen sink.

Interior Selections

We are coming to the grand finale of our interior selections process. This has been a long, but fun road. We can definitely see our design visions coming together and can't wait to see the finished product. As you can see, Josh was a little overwhelmed by all the lighting options and this was only a very small section at the lighting store. We have our final sign off on April 3rd, so we still have some time for last minute tweaking to make everything perfect.

The house is on the fast track for our June 30th move in date. The footings have been poured, our basement walls are in and the lumber will start to go up on Tuesday. We visit the site almost every day and realize we're one more day closer to moving in! We can't wait!

There's No Turning Back Now!

It's official, they began digging for our new home today. As Josh so eloquently said, "that's the best looking hole in the ground I've ever seen!"

Whirlwind!

The last two weeks have been a complete whirlwind! Our cute little town home hit the market this weekend and we already had someone walk through it today. We've selected the exterior colors (warm brown tones) for our new home, signed off on all the electrical aspects and started selecting our interior elements. We breezed through our exterior selections. The interior selections are requiring much more time. The majority of the lower level of our new home as well as all the bathrooms will be ceramic tile. So...we've spent a lot of time over the past week with our designer and at our local tile shops. We found the perfect floor tile colors today and breathed a huge sigh of relief! Another place where we will be installing tile is our kitchen backsplash. We wanted the backsplash to have a pop of color, so we've selected deep red tiles! Most people think we're crazy for picking this color. We plan to prove them wrong! Josh's favorite part of the interior selection process was having this BIG beer after a marathon meeting with our fabulous designer Julie! We promise to update our blog more frequently in the days to come. Cheers!
