The Stone is Fixed!

So here is a before and after shot of the stone we had them fix. I just didn't like the way it cut off, and so we had them fix it so it matched what was on the plans. I know the fist shot is a little milky, sorry, but you can get the point.

Counter Tops and Backsplash!

We were happy to finally get these in! They worked out perfectly. It is so fun to see our vision coming together. It was worth the wait to have them done well. Oh, and you can see our backsplash. It is turning out so neat, I love it!

Railing is Finished!!!!!

We have been waiting for our railing to get finished for a while now. We love the way it turned out. Our builder came up with a cool hand rail for the top. We didn't want anything too traditional and he hit it right on the head with his idea. It was so fun to see it installed when we went to the house today.

The back yard

Ya, this is the back yard, and Gavin thinking of having to do the yard! No really, this is what I get when I leave Gavin alone with camera for a minute. It's been a while since I've found random pictures of him on my camera, he used to do it all of the time.

Stripes!

I love my stripes. They took me few hours to draw on the wall and tape off, but it was well worth it to me. I think it adds a little more of a modern flare to the house. It's on the back wall of the mud room. I love seeing it when I come down the stairs! And I thought it was funny, a couple weeks after we got it painted I was watching "What not to Wear" and they have a similar wall in their studio, it is just done out of shades of tan.

The Barn Door

See our house really is a barn. It may have only looked like it on the outside for a while, but we've got the door inside to keep it with us forever. Maybe when I ask my kids someday if they were raised in barn they will say "Of course I was!"

Fun Bathroom Stuff

We got toilets!!! They may not be the most exciting thing in a house, but I am sure glad that we have them. This item makes the house feel a lot more done. I am however very excited for our different faucets. I think they are fun. And ya, we can't be normal with anything.
