It's good to be home

Almost Home

The HWCV is almost our home!  On Friday we received our occupancy permits from the county.  On Saturday we moved the heavy furniture with the help of some good friends.  Today I organized and cleaned. And we are going to move our mattresses and remaining furniture on Wednesday!  Our awesome contractor, Matt Allen Construction, has been finishing up the last few details, and it looks amazing.  I didn't get any photos today, but I will share the updates I have!

Stairs

Kids' Bedrooms and Bathrooms

Hmmm...I don't have a picture of the girl's bathroom.  It is super cute; I will try to get a picture up soon.  

Master Bed and Bath

Powder Room

Laundry Room

And...THE KITCHEN!  

I can't wait to show you the amazing pantry that is completed.  But it's going to be a while.  I have to move.  I should be packing.  Why am I still on the computer!?!  Excuse any typos...I'm not proofreading.  

LOVING it

We are aiming to move within the next two weeks, and so much changes each day at the HWCV. Soon, I will start posting whole room "reveals," but for now, here are some updates from the past couple of weeks that I am loving.

The master bath 

Our master bath may be one of my favorite rooms in the house!  I am really obsessed with this shower.  The shower heads will be installed soon!

GIANT vanity!  I can't wait to show you all the hammered copper mirrors I selected for this space.  

A peek into our master closet.  This is the same color green as the pictures above, but it looks so different in this picture.  And I am not sure any of these pictures actually capture the color.  

Kitchen

Our countertops were installed this week.  I am swooning over them!

  

Furniture

I've been painting furniture for Abby's bedroom.  I love this color combination!

Hardwoods

Hardwood floors should last us for the rest of our lives, so it is a daunting task to select a color, plank size, etc.  We chose "walnut hickory" from Lumber Liquidators.  It isn't a trendy wide plank, handscraped wood, and I am sure it isn't their current best seller.  But it has a timeless quality that I love.  It is hard to find a lighter tone without having red undertones.  And I prefer the grain pattern of hickory to oak.  I can't wait to get the furnishing elements in this room.  It's kind of drab with beige walls and brown floors.  But I am hopeful it will be wonderful once we get the furniture, curtains, rugs, and other elements in there.  

 

Until next time!
