Windows!

This has been a really fun week at the construction site - mostly because the windows were installed.  And, they are gorgeous!  I love them alot.  Here's the list of 'others' that were done this week:  the fireplace was installed, the well was drilled, the septic was finished up, the basement bulkhead was built, the electrical panel was installed, wires run and cans installed, the furnace and water heater were installed, the french doors were hung (also gorgeous) and we met the kitchen designer at the house to walk through the designs for the kitchen and baths. 

The homeowner has been immersed in final lighting selections and researching appliance options.  At this point in time, I have washer and dryer and dishwasher chosen and purchased.  Next up: stove.  As my very wise sister-in-law says: if there were no budget limitations, the choice would be easy - she's right!  The balancing act is to get something that is designed and functions well, without completely blowing the budget. 

I think we'll be ready for dry wall in a week or two - seems like we're flying through this process...although, I think I still have about 16 weeks before move-in.  During drywalling, I think I'll post some inspiration pictures that drove the design for this house...it will be fun to see how close we come to those original photos.

This is the view from the front door - I love that the fireplace will be a focal point when you walk in the door.

Another of those necessaries...

This view is the south side of the kitchen; the stove will be at the break in the windows.  When it's sunny, there is such lovely light in the kitchen from these windows.

Love!

Cans in the kitchen.

This is the front of the house...I can hardly wait until the front door goes in.  The garage door should also be in soon, which is really going to dress up the front of the house.  I think front decking may be going in soon too.



Wrap arounds in the kitchen...delish!

French doors-love the black hardware.
