Sneak Peek

We are getting close to being finished so I wanted to put up some pictures that make me happy.

(I've been "a little stressed" because I've seen such little progress happening the last few weeks

so I'm taking this opportunity to focus on the good)

I love these lights.  

Three is just the right number for the size of the island and the size of the room 

(thanks to everyone who responded to my questions about them).  

They are fun, cute and add just a touch of whimsy.  

It's been fun to see the workers look at and then touch to be sure.  Yes, that is Chicken Wire!  

It is very hard to get a good picture of this fireplace, but I think it turned out perfectly.  

Just like I'd hoped, planned (and designed).  We've even turned the gas on to see how it looks when it's lit.  It's Sooo pretty.  You'll have to come up and see it in person!

I love our big sink and the quartz countertop and we are so excited to start using our new dishwasher.  When you come to visit, Rob will open the dishwasher to show you how much we love it.

(I like the granite on the island too, but it's very hard to get a good picture of that.  I will keep trying)

This is another room that is difficult to get a good picture of, but I like the powder room.  

Our doors to Rob's office turned out great!  

They look amazing hanging and the roller mechanism is pretty sweet too.  

Jesse and his dad are hanging the second door this afternoon, I just have to get the hardware cleaned up so we can install that.

This last picture is actually what makes Rob smile.  He's been anxiously waiting to see progress down here.

In Other News:

We WERE going to close Monday afternoon.  Then it got pushed back to Tuesday morning.  

Just today it got pushed back to Tuesday afternoon.  

I told Jesse if we aren't closed by the end of the month I would haunt him for the rest of his life.  

I'm realizing that I'm not as good at hanging in limbo as I was when I was younger 

(okay, okay, I was never really that good at hanging in limbo anyway).
