So much has happened with our new house! The hardwood floors are in, the trim, ceilings and walls are painted, the steps going into the garage are built, the deck and screened porch are finished (except for the screens being put in, which will be happening soon)....and several other projects are in progress. It's exciting to see all of the changes! I might be most excited about the deck and screened porch.





Yesterday, some additional trees were being cut down. In addition, piles of trees that had already been cut down were being taken away. This will give us a better idea about what our backyard is going to be like.

We are very pleased with the paint colors we chose! I will do a detailed post about those soon, but it's amazing how different the house looks with paint on the walls. The kitchen cabinets have been stained too, as well as the front door, back doors and pantry door. We've picked the stain for the hardwood floors and they will begin those soon.

We've also picked the hardware for all of our cabinets and drawers.... The picture shows the ones we will be using in the kitchen. The rest of the house will have the same style, but in the bronze finish that matches the hardware on all of our doors. They also agreed to go ahead and put in all of the child-proof cabinet locks for us, so we just have to go buy those and drop those off. That's pretty exciting news for us! :)

We also picked all of the faucets and sinks. Addison and Fischer's bathroom will have a drop-in sink and this faucet...

While our bathroom and the guest bathroom will have white vessel sinks (sitting on top of the counter). Those bathrooms will have this faucet...



Next, we need to pick our lights and ceiling fans. After that, the decision making should slow down a bit. Until we have to start deciding on furniture, decor, etc.... Stay tuned for pictures of painted walls. Exciting stuff! :)
