Home Update: 15 Days Left

1 5   D A Y S   L E F T
I can’t believe its down to 15 days! It is starting to feel unreal. The house is really coming along – we had a little hiccup this week I will tell you about later in the post. Below you can see our fireplace got tiled this week and painted. They were actually in the process of painting it when I was taking pictures.

Now, here is the HICCUP… While the backsplash is beautiful, it is W R O N G… our tile is suppose to be lighter and the grout is lighter. They are presently taking it out and starting over. I think it will done pretty quick, so next week I should be able to show you the real thing.

 Here is a great picture of our spare bathroom. I just love it! The grout is awesome and it turned out exactly how I pictured.

 So did our bathroom! I am in awe of it. It is perfect!

 They even added a ledge in our shower, I wasn’t expecting that and it will be really nice.

When I was there, they were also putting in our carpet and leveling out the backyard. Monday, we are having the house inspected and then Thursday we do a walkthrough with the builder to make sure everything is good to go for closing. I really can’t believe that is all happening next week. I can’t wait to move in and make it our home. Every time I go to the house now, I just want to stay longer.

    It’s looking so good! What a fun process! My mother is a interior designer and home contractor, so I’m loving looking at your pictures. Your color choices are so great! šŸ™‚

    That is so exciting! It looks so good! I LOVE both bathrooms. I am getting a little house envy over here šŸ˜‰ We won’t be buying a house for at least another 6 years while husband is in school. So it is really not a good thing that I already want one… But I will continue to live vicariously through you! šŸ™‚
