Here is an update on our house. It is still on time to being finished by the 25th of this month, and then we will move in right away, that weekend. I am starting to get really excited, now that it is almost done, and looking more like a house! Here are some pictures of the progress. Plus you can see the things we have chosen so far. Hopefully it all looks good once everything is in, but I think it looks good so far.
Here is the paint that we chose for the outside, with our green door. I wasn't sure about the green door at first, but I really like it now.
Here is the kitchen and living room. You can see the cabinets we chose. I was really skeptical of them, but I like their originality and personality it brings. The bar will go in the middle more, where the cutout in the floor is.
Here is the view from the living room. You can see where the dining room table will go, in front of the sliding doors. We really deliberated on what interior paint to have, we chose "so smooth". At first I thought it was too dark, but now I really like it, now that everything is painted.
Here's one of the bathrooms, with the vinyl that I chose. This is the same vinyl that will go into the kitchen/dining room as well.
Here is our master bathroom, with the vinyl that Mike chose. The vinyl is the only thing we didn't agree on, so we split it up. Mine is in the 2 bathrooms and kitchen, while Mike's is on the landing and our bathroom. I will admit that his looks better than I thought it would, (but I still like mine better!) :)
Still our master bathroom, with a good view of the sinks. I'm glad we went with the darker counter and handles. Good contrast.
Here's the landing.
Mike's favorite room.... the big garage!
Outside in the back.
More Back yard/forest!
As you can see, we have a lot of landscaping to do, plus you can see that the house is kind-of close to the other houses. One of the downfalls!
Other side.
The side yards aren't very big, but the back yard has potential. It will just take time and lots of money to build it the way we want! The backyard doesn't look very big right now, but it's actually good size, once we tier it and take about 50 trees out!!! I told the girls to enjoy the grass now, because in about 3 weeks, they won't have any for a while! :)
Mike is a great dad. He is very patient and sweet with his daughters. He is always helping them with little projects and their electronics. Plus, don't tell him I said this, but just last month he even played barbies with Sydney! :) Who could ask for a better dad than that!?! :)
