Progress!
Amazing sweet progress! It’s time to talk the house! I went yesterday and took
a tour of our house I took Loren and Kody with me. Because I am trying to do a
photo journal of this whole experience. Nothing may ever come of it but it
helps me to see how far we have come.
The smell of
the new wood is great! It is a fresh clean smell. Something that I noticed
yesterday is how small a framed house seems. The rooms all seem so tiny when
you have sun and sky for a roof. I can hardly wait until the trusses get there
so that have a two story again. I miss seeing the upstairs. That is Scotty and
my domain. Soon Loren will be taking over the second room upstairs and we will
share our domain.
Because the
city inspector came in and changed things the furnace is now put into the crawl
space. This kind of thrills me because that gives us a new linen closet
downstairs and a bigger shower for us upstairs! It adds about a foot and a half
to two feet bigger. To me that’s huge. It’s the little things I keep saying.
Now two of the bathrooms and the kitchen are the only rooms I really have
decided on. The upstairs bathroom is going to be a Disney Villains bathroom. I
will be using the decals on this webpage. http://www.fathead.com/disney/disney-villains/disney-villains-collection/
. For the front bathroom
downstairs that my girl’s (not sure if 19 & 20 that girls is the right
term) are having a Princess bathroom. Not sure about decals for it because they
will have a shower curtain. Blue like Cinderella’s dress for the walls.
My kitchen
will be my treasure. I am going to have white cabinets with some sort of kitchy
handles. I am hoping to find something resembling sea shells. If anyone sees
any let me know. I am going to have sand colored granite counter tops. I picked
a back splash that resembles rocks. And the walls will be a light aqua. This is
my dream kitchen. I consider Disney but the seashore won out. My flooring in
there is where I start to stall a little. I am not sure what I want. This is a
great mystery. The rest of the house with the exception of the kitchen and the
bathrooms will be a laminate. I want a cherry wood colored laminate.
The outside
colors I want are from Kelly Moore. They sell a heat resistant type paint. It
is supposed to help to keep your house from getting too hot in the summer. I am
leaning towards a tannish beige or even a gray with a Seattle red trim! Plus I
want the doors painted Seattle red too. I have also kind of picked the living
room and the family room colors. Plus the one for the hallway. But when it
comes to Scotty and my bedroom I have no clue. I just stand there in front on the
colors and I become overwhelmed.
Just a few pictures of the house for you. :) Our house is a very fine house.
So exciting!! Think your kitchen is going be beautiful. Walls will remind me of the ocean counter top the sand. Lowes normally has cool handle for kitchen cabinets.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of grey siding outside with red doors and trim. I think that will be wonderful
For your bedroom, definitely pick light colors, that are soothing. Nothing real bright.
I am just overwhelmed at all the choices. Lol
