Cabinets and Exterior Paint!

We stopped by the house yesterday and the painter was still there working.  He's almost got all the exterior paint complete!  The house is looking great!

I absolutely love the ceilings on the porches.

We also had another surprise when we stopped by - most of the cabinets are here and were being installed!  Here are some pictures of the cabinets.

They had started installing the built-ins near the fireplace.

The refridgerator will go here.... 

 Here is where the built-in oven and microwave will go...

 Sara was so excited her desk was beginning to take shape!!

Book case in the upstairs hall had been installed.

 

 Sara had to take a picture of me near her desk...

More pictures to come!  It seems like things are changing at the house everyday!  Cannot wait to see the island and master bath cabinets installed.



Hardwoods are in!

Hardwoods are in, this is the raw color, no stain yet.

Outdoor Painting!

They have been painting at the house this week - they've got the first coat on and so far, we love it!!

It's beginning to look like my inspiration picture with the stone, brick and paint color!  It's a really light green called Ancient Marble and the shakes are a slightly darker paint called Svelte Sage.  I also love the posts and railing they put on the front porch!

This picture shows the paint color next to the stone around the front door.

This is the ceiling paint on the back screened in porch.  It will be painted the same colors as the exterior.

They've also got the posts up on the back porch.  They are still working on the posts on the grill deck.

They have also finished the stone around the fireplace - can't wait for the mantle and trim work!

Lastly, Brian posted earlier about the solar panels going in - we didn't even notice them!  We can't wait to get all the panels in place and start making some power!  The only panels to be installed before we close will be the hot water, but shortly after we close on the house, the other 24 panels for the solar PV will be installed. 

That's about all for now.  We are anxiously awaiting things to get going inside and to start seeing everything we picked out start to come together.  Patience is a virtue I have yet to master...

Sara says to have a great week everyone!





More signs of solar

Southern Energy has been at the house again, we now have a 120 gallon tank ready to store some solar heated water!
