Gonna Need a New Name Soon

Soon the HWCV will be HOME!  And though it will no longer be the "House With Cat Vomit," I am considering keeping the acronym.  It has become such a big part of my lexicon that my phone places it on the suggestion bar when I start typing H.

Now I find myself driving along and pondering new names for the HWCV.  The following have been ruled out by me (or vetoed by my sane husband.)

• House with carnivorous velociraptors
• Hot white cheesy Veleeta
• Hoards of wild crazy vagabonds
• Heaps of white crunchy vegetables
• Honey where's the cold vodka

Some quick pictures to make your click worthwhile.  

Entry Chandelier

Trim is being completed upstairs.

Luke's bathroom is ready for the finishes.

Paint and Floors

This finishing stage is going so quickly.  So here are some quick visual updates.

Paint:

Master Bedroom: Sherwin-Williams Gray Screen

Master Bath: Sherwin-Williams Livable Green

Son's bedroom: Sherwin-Williams Gray Screen and Sherwin-Williams Slate Tile

Son's bathroom and Girl's bedroom #2: Sherwin-Williams Grayish

Interior doors and trim

I really like the way the windows are trimmed in a picture frame style.

Floors

Laundry room and powder room:

Tile in the girl's bathroom:

Mechanicals

Our main floor and basement HVAC is functional:

A lot of electric work is done, including the ceiling fans on the front porch:

Kitchen Cabinets and Interior Paint

Our kitchen cabinets have been installed.  We still need to have the trim completed, but all of the cabinets are in the right place!

Here is a view from the living room:

We will have a 4' seating area under the island counter in front of that area with the shallow cabinets

Microwave will be in the island.

This angle is looking from the dining area towards the pantry.

We went with a white shaker style cabinet from Kraftmaid.  It was a little different than what I originally had in mind, but I am really happy with how it looks.  And we have so much space!  The island is 4'x8'!  

You can also kind of see the wall color for the kitchen, dining, living, entry.  It is Sherwin-Williams Kilim Beige.  It's not an exciting color, but it is neutral, warm, and cozy, and I think our new furniture and accents will work really well with it. Here you can kind of see it in the entry.  

Here is the color for the laundry room and powder room.  Sherwin-Williams Escape Gray.

And the girl's bathroom and one of the bedrooms is Sherwin-Williams Pink Phenomenon.

This is the girl's bathroom with the vanity installed!  Hopefully having 2 sinks will improve our teenage years.  

 

And here are the master bathroom vanities.  The counter will span all the way across both vanities!  

Most of the other interior painting has been completed, but I don't have updated pictures.  I will try to post some soon.
