Dining Room Furniture

Here is the dining room furniture we ordered.

All Moved In!

It's been a couple of weeks, but we're starting to get it all together! Here is our first house-warming present. Susan (and John and the kids of course) sent it to us! It looks great in our back entry way. Thanks Bernals!


I know...I know...a shower curtain. This was one of my wedding presents I was saving for our first house! It was so fun to get it out and decorate the bathroom.

Here's our priceless artwork from Bill and Rick! We think it looks great right when you walk in the door in the stairwell!

Here's the living room lay out...a little blury, but you get the idea.

The kitchen.

And the crowning achievement...two cars in the garage!!

Thanks for all the help from our movers and cleaners!

Moved In!

Keys! We got them!

Were are moved in! Here are some pictures of the chaos!

Nearing Completion

Here are a few shots of the almost complete house! We are so excited!

This is the roof and decorative window.


Here's a shot of the front of the house with siding.



This is the back of the house that overlooks the pond.

Master bathroom! Two sinks! Two sinks!

Here's a shot with the light fixtures. As you can see, we are waiting on mirrors.

This is the half bath. It's a little brighter than expected, but it is very happy!

Here's a close up of the kitchen. We are missing a few appliances too.

Here's the light fixture when you first walk in. I hoping it won't look too small when I get furniture in there.

The cubbies with the hooks!

Here's an overall shot of the living room.

Here's the overall shot of the kitchen.

Here's the slate tile floor with the enhancer on it and the wood floor!

The columns still need paint but they are all built.

Another shot of the garage.

The overall picture. Come visit! We'll be in soon.

Sorry for the Delay!

Sorry for the delay in new pictures! We had a slight camera issue (ours broke) and we took a trip to Washington DC to see Mom get inducted into the Defense Logistics Agency Hall of Fame! We are so proud of her!

Here is the carpet heading down the stairs. It is also in the bedrooms.

Here's a shot of the slate tile, staircase and carpet.

The electrician has been here and these are the lights over our kitchen island.

Here's what the outside looks like! Finally siding!

Here are the close ups of the trim work!

This is a larger view of the house! Two more weeks!!!

Break from Building for Hunting!

Tom got to take a break from picking out cabinet hardware and paint colors and doing something much more fun for him...turkey hunting! Here's his big bird, the first of many I'm sure!

Thanks to Dad and Uncle Ron for all the pointers! Big success!

Extreme close up!

Busy Couple of Days!

The contractors have been busy the last few days. Here is the start of the laminate wood floor that will run throughout the house.

Bill (the tile installer) gave us some great ideas on the fireplace. We are so happy with how it turned out.

Bill and Ben (his brother) installed the slate tile floor in the entry way. It matches the fireplace and looks amazing! The floor and the fireplace both get an enhancer/sealer that should really make the colors pop.

Our dishwasher and microwave got delivered. What other appliances do you need?

The ground around the house got graded as well. I think it gets an A+!

The siding has started to go on the back. They should be working on that all next week. We are getting close. We are about 3 weeks away from move in!
