The progress continues...

Greetings!


Steve and I had an appointment with our lighting consultant at Southern Lighting on Saturday to decide ALL of our lighting fixtures for the house.  Inside, and out.  All of them.  OK, ok, so it wasn't as tedious as I'm making it sound. It only took a couple of hours, and our consultant was a lot of help.  To be honest, both Steve and I initially felt overwhelmed by the showroom at first, but our consultant was great about helping us coordinate fixtures that would compliment our wall colors and bathroom fixtures, as well as thinking of the flow of lighting fixtures from room to room.  


We also went out furniture browsing (again!) on Saturday after our appointment at Southern Lighting. I'm 99.9% sure we've found our Great Room seating, and our Dining Room set, which is very, very exciting. We also found a kitchen table set that we both like. We continue to look for office furniture, accent chairs, and bookcases for the rest of the house. Steve is surprising me with his taste in accent furniture :-)  There is a set of zebra print chairs he really likes, that may just find their way in to the office.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of them, but I do have this one: 

Thoughts?

As always, more pictures!  These are from Saturday, 11 September.

The vinyl siding is up!

Shutters!
They were only on two of the windows so far, but hey, it was great to see them up!

Garage

Kitchen.
Looks like all the drywall is up, seams mudded (or whatever that stuff is), and the texture is on the ceiling.

Great room.

Master bedroom

Master bedroom.
Steve and I both agree that every time we step in to that sitting area, it surprises us at how spacious it is.

We had a visitor :-)

This is the view from the master bedroom sitting area window.

As the house is coming together, we are both finding that we love our choices more and more.  For example, once the brick went up, we loved our brick choice even more. Now that the vinyl siding and shutters are going up, we are loving our color choices even more. I know we have a few more months to go, but I just can't wait to see the rest of it come together!
