House Update {Paint It- Link Up}

How about a little peek inside the new house, eh???

 

It's finally coming to life!

Its finally looking like a home and we are so excited! 

Friday night Lance surprised me with the cabinets.

He had told me that they weren't in but when we opened the doors and turned the lights on this is what I saw!

If you follow me on Instagram, you got a little peek Friday night! 

 

By Saturday mid-day the island had been installed and the hardware was being put on.

 

I cannot tell you how excited I am to have bathroom vanities WITH DRAWERS!

This place is going to be so organized I'm not going to know what to do with all the storage room!

Left is the master, right is Eastons.

The half bath has no vanity yet. 

*ahem* 

Someone can't decide what they want in there. 

 

Granite is being picked out and ordered today.

I want leathered black pearl in the kitchen and gialo ornamental honed (very light, very neutral, flat finish) in the bathrooms, but Lance wants  the light color throughout.

I go back and forth with what I want, but the time has come to decide.

Lots to get done, but its so rewarding to see it come to life!

 

After cleaning Friday night and Saturday morning, the time had come to PAINT the built ins.

That's where I come in.

The living room built in got 2 coats of paint on the walls and shelves.

 

Easton's built in by his room got one coat.

Let me tell you, wainstcoating is NO JOKE.  You have to brush every.single.groove.

Note: If a painter charges you $X to paint built ins, pay it. 

It's worth every dime. 

I assure you.

Nevertheless, painting was done this weekend.

And will probably be done every night until we move in.

Projected Move-In date is February 28, but as you can see, we have lots to do.

Fingers crossed, we're in by then!

Fingers and TOES crossed that I can get it put together by March 16 for Easton's 3rd Birthday Party!

 

I am so thankful for this experience and this new home!

Lance has put so much time and effort into it and I am so proud of him for all of his hard work!

SO thankful to do this right along side of him!

 

So, what do you think?

What color granite should we do?

Are you with me on black?  Or are you with Lance on light?

I'd love to hear from you!
