Outdoor lights

Chandelier

Colors have been approved...

Here is our front door...

Since we will be the only blue house in the neighborhood we had to have our colors approved. The light one will be on the back and sides. The darker blue will be on the front and the darkest (plum) will be the door.

Fireplace surround

The slate surround looks similar to this is in color scheme so it brings in the purples and greens but it is in the subway pattern instead of the pinwheel.

Drywall almost complete

We went by the house again today after an appointment to finish picking out our hard surfaces. The drywall is almost all done! When I was there they were finishing up the loft. That was way faster than I thought.

I was happy with some of the changes we made to our hard surfaces and feel much more confident it will look good. I changed the fireplace surround from glass squares to little slate tiles that look like this...

see above.

It is amazing how much lighter the house looks with drywall.

Can't wait to move in!

Siding Complete

Well the siding is complete and today the drywall started being put up. It is amazing how much drywall adds to the homey feel! Today we went to a Easter event at the community park. Even though it was raining pretty heavily they had quite the turn out. They had music playing, three tents for people to mingle under and tons of great food. We got added to our community email list and I have already been invited to "Ladies Night". I can't say enough how happy I am to be soon to be living in this new neighborhood!

Almost 2 months in...

Our house unpainted...Still have a bit more work to do on the siding but will probably be completely done in a day or two at the most. You can click on the picture to see it in detail. back patio area.

Insulation is in.

All electrical and plumbing are done. They will be turning the furnace on tomorrow full blast. Drywall will be started on Monday.

Wow! I am so excited.

We locked our rate a little over a week ago which feels really good. We are happy with our loan and rate.

We met more neighbors last weekend as we went out and played in the park in the nice weather.

We found out there are two doctors in the neighborhood, which is good to know if there was ever a meltdown of all emergency services/natural disaster. :) At the last house I knew we could always walk to Evergreen Hospital. Here we would have to walk a couple days to get to a Hospital.

This weekend we are going to attend their Easter egg hunt in the park.

I am really excited and can't wait to move in!
