for my WCF Ladies!

Here ya go... I will post more over the weekend as we get stuff moved in!

Entry Ways: We have 2... One outside, and then a staircase that leads from the garage upstairs.

Inside Stairwell.

From the outside entrance you go right into the living room & kitchen.

 next to the kitchen is our little dining room, with the fabulous palm tree chandelier!

The open door on the left is the laundry room, it's not that big, & impossible to get a good picture of. That closed door on the right is our pantry. I insisted on a pantry.

Down the hall to our bedrooms.. The door to the immediate left is the door that comes in from the garage stairs. The 2nd door on the left has the water heater & A/C thing in it.. we will probably put some random junk in there.. Ha Ha.. The bi-fold doors on the right is another random junk closet. I really don't know what i'm going to do with all these closets!!!  We are moving out of a 700sq ft trailer! This house is huge compared to that! Woohoo!!!

at the end of that hall is the guest bathroom. --- accent tile in the guest bath wall

Our room- I'm not the greatest picture taker, and its hard to get the whole room in one picture.. so this is as good as it gets for now.  Our room is to the left at the end of the hall

lol see me in the mirror! I'm standing in our closet.

again...not a great picture taker... guest room # 1 ...

This will be our 'office/treadmill room' .... look, i'm even on the nest, ha ha ha! The room is bigger then this, but that's all I got!

I'm HERE!!

It's "officially unofficial" .. I am "living" in our new house! Tonight is my first night here.. well 2nd technically- I stayed here Friday night w/ Chris & Dad.

I picked our Certificate of Occupancy up @ the building department this morning, so we are legally allowed to stay here. Can I getta wooo hooo!!! This is SO exciting! I'll shut it and post some pics!

Picture Day!

Looking down @ the driveway from our bedroom

Our closet!!!

YAY! I love our counter tops!

Wow Wow Wow!

I went to the new house today; and I was there Friday. Friday we picked up the counter tops, kitchen sink, bathroom faucets, dishwasher & the microwave from Lowes. I was super excited to see our counter tops! They are sooo pretty!!

I have pictures; but I left my camera in my Moms truck. I'll post them tomorrow. They have gotten a lot done in the last week. They got the outside staircase built; we just have to get the hand rails for the outside & inside stairs. The counter tops are there, they aren't set yet, but they were sitting on the cabinets. <3 <3    The guest bathroom is all the way done. We decided to do tile for the counter tops and they came out really well! The only thing left in our bathroom is the glass around our shower & the shower door. We also need flooring in our closet! 

The kitchen sink & faucet will go in Tuesday. We will have some final inspections this week & *hopefully*  get the Certificate of Occupancy so we can move in! I'm not digging the drive from Groveland to SpringHill. It's no bueno. ha.

Coming together.

I went to the new house yesterday! It was SO exciting! Everything is coming together so nicely. It's so surreal. We are actually building our first home, literally, H has put his blood & sweat into this house.. I doubt there are been any tears from him =/

I went over to order our appliances from the local Lowes! Very exciting! We are going to have black appliances! The fridge,microwave & range are all GE; the dishwasher is Whirlpool. We couldn't find a GE dishwasher. I'm not partial to one brand or another it just worked out that we preferred the GE products over some of the other manufacturers. Maybe because they make a lower cost product?  We had a budget of 3k for all the appliances. My total as $2188, not to shabby. My Dad said "Good, you went over on the floor by $1500"... uh oops?!

I also bought a shower curtain and a few towels for Chris to use. He will be moving over there as of this week. My dad wants him to after work so that he can work on the house more. We are SO close to closing it's crazy!

I decided that I am going to do the guest bath in Palm Trees, my office manager bought us a cute bathroom trash can that has palm trees on it so that will be where I will start with colors. I found a cute palm tree shower curtain @ Bed Bath & Beyond.

I think for our master bath I will do seashells & starfish. Haven't found anything for our bathroom yet. Chris keeps telling me I'm getting ahead of myself. He didn't even want me to buy a shower curtain yesterday, but they are going to be showering there... they need a shower curtain!

I start my new job this week, on Thursday! I am so nervous & excited all at the same time. I've been trying to read about various policies, but its hard to know what's actually accurate. I'm trusting that the Dr will have all the materials I will need to be successful.

This week they will be pouring the drive way, and building the outside stair case. I really don't know what else they will be doing. This weekend they grouted all the tile. They set the toilets and made our bathroom countertops. We are going to have tile tops in the bathrooms, not really my first choice, but it's better then ugly laminate tops. Our kitchen counter tops wouldn't really match in the bathrooms.

I'll post pictures when Chris gets home.

2.5 wks!

June 8th. My dad wants to move our closing date to June 8th! Is this even possible? I have no idea. Right now the bank has it scheduled for June 15th. I don't know what all is involved in closing.. It would be fabulous if we could close on the 8th! That would be less time that I have to drive back & forth from Clermont.

I won't talk to much, I'll just show you pictures! EXCITING!

Fans in the living room- we will have 2

Fan in our bedroom

Our shower; which will have 2 shower heads! yessir!!

That is all for now. I have a bunch more pictures of our cabinets.. but they all look the same; and I think i'm the only one that gets super excited about our cabinets!

Walls & Tile = exciting!

Oh it's the little things that make me happy! Having the tile up in our guest bath makes me super excited! It's so pretttttttyyyyyy! Here, let me show you!

 Oh! pardon my dad! =) 

There is our guest bath! White subway tile with that pretty green & blue glass tile! Ohhh its lovely! My plans are to paint the walls a light blue or green. The cabinets are white bead board; same as our kitchen cabinets. We don't have counter tops yet. We are thinking about going with tile counter tops in both bathrooms. Yay or Nay? Experience with this? Chris said they will be harder to clean. Probably. But I REALLY hate formica laminate; and that is pretty much our only other option. bleh. ---- The tile in our bathroom is not done yet.  It should be done this weekend, I should have pictures Monday night! 

Our bedroom.  L-O-V-E the windows in the front two bedrooms.  The view is uh, well it's nothing to look at. But I just love the big windows. We have little bitty windows in our current home.

Kitchen.. and pantry....and bar/island. Can't wait to see it with our cabinets in there! The cabinets are being delivered on Monday! yay! 

From the living room to our bedrooms & the guest bedrooms. 

Not much to say about this.. part of the garage. .. .. Chris has big plans for the garage-

My side of the garage! Yay! I'm excited to get to park in the garage and walk up to the house through the garage; this makes taking groceries inside much easier!  

Front of the house! Can't wait t to have real garage doors!
