Building Our Home - Week 40

Remember all the lights I forgot?  Thanks to a needed trip to the chiropractor and the help of Katie, we now have ALL the lights purchased for the house (and now need another chiro appointment from looking up at lights all afternoon).  How cute is this chandelier for the bonus room?


Picked out glass for the master bath shower


Spent many hours on these chairs and table I found at a garage sale!  They will be the perfect addition to the bonus room - later post dedicated strictly to these coming soon.



We started packing this week!  Our builder thinks we will be all wrapped up around the 15th, which means I really need to get stuff organized and packed.


It was a MADHOUSE out in the country so far this week!  Went out on Monday to meet with the guys from Fisher Lumber who were setting the counter tops and there were 5 crews there - each with at least 2-4 people.  We had guys laying tile, mason guys finishing up the stone on the fireplace, counter guys, heating and air, and the guys putting in the septic tank!  It was comical watching everyone work around each other, but also exciting to see all that was getting finished up.

This is the kitchen:
 

One pendant light came with the cord already cut and a bracket missing - NO!!  Luckily we have a replacement on the way that should be here by the end of the week.


This is a flat version of the stone we used on the exterior of the house.


The basement bar!  I'm so in love with this tile back splash and counter top combination!!



As we approach the closing date, I am overwhelmed.  Not a stressed out, overwhelmed because we have to move - but an overwhelmed with what a blessing this house will be for us and our friends and family.  I hope and pray that this house is noisy, filled up, messy and filled with love and laughter more often than not.  We have much to be thankful for and hope that we never lose that feeling.
