I'll Be Home For Christmas

Looking good from the road. We are all bricked up, and there are just a few tiny details left to finish the outside. Brad really likes the dumpster out front. He thinks it would be convenient for taking out the trash. Maybe we'll keep it, if Laura can work it into our landscape design.


The front door (which you can't see because it's open) still has to be painted. We haven't chosen our paint color yet, but it will be something warm that goes well with the brick.

This is the girls' room. We have sheet rock and putty done. Next comes painting, cabinetry, floors, and lights.

This is a view of the living room as you are standing in the kitchen. You can see our gas log on the wall and the entrance to the hall that leads to the bedrooms. I am very happy with the custom blinds I ordered for this room. We are putting tile and a mantel around the fireplace. I will be picking out the tile tomorrow, mantle's already chosen.


And here is a view of half our attic. This room will remain unfinished. It will be furnished with an elegant light bulb that you turn on by pulling a string. It may not be beautiful, but it will hold a lot of boxes of Christmas decorations and old baby clothes.

That's all for now. They are supposed to paint and put down tile next week, and the cabinets should be in soon, so I will have some really fun stuff to post then.

It looks beautiful!! So exciting that you're so close to moving in! I think you should paint the front door red--I've always liked red front doors. :-P
