New House Pictures!

Here are some new pictures of the house! While the wood for the floor was acclimating to the temperature in the house, John was working on electrical things. He and Bob will be working long hours the next few days to get the flooring done, starting today. The plumber comes Monday so the floor has to be done by then (woo hoo!). John worked on putting the stone around the fire place last night, so I hope to get some pictures here soon! We are also picking out blinds tomorrow, well, I am, so I will be able to give you an update about that soon too! Yippee...we are really getting there!

So while the flooring was getting to temperature, John took this....

and turned it into this......

and this.....


He also got all the "knobs" installed on all of the cabinets in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room.


Now that the ceiling has been lacquered, he was able to get the can lights (and bulbs) all in and set up! He painted the rings of the can lights, because we couldn't find what we wanted, and I think it looks nice!


Here are our final choices on fans/lights etc. This will be the fan in the Master Bedroom and the living room. I believe it's 54" (I can't remember!)


These are the wall sconces we will be using in the living room by the highest window; one on each side. They have been changed twice, but John really digs this one and it really matches everything well. I must say I like it too!

This will be the fan/light in the boys' rooms.


This is the lighting that will be in the bathrooms; above the mirrors. (The mirrors haven't changed!!!-it will still be the picture frame one for the boys' bathroom and the "hanging from the rod" ones for the Master Bathroom)

This is the boys' shower and tub. We decided to go with just a shower curtain since that will make bathing Jacob a TON easier than fighting with a shower door!


The boys' bathroom has a toilet! Yippee! No more porta-potty outside our house!!!



The sink in the boys' bathroom.


This is the front of the fireplace. I will be at the house tomorrow meeting with the "blind" people (3-Day Blinds) so I will get a picture of the finished fireplace then, and some flooring pictures! Woo hoo!


These are the stone tiles that will be used for the front of the fireplace. Very earthy and beautiful!

Everything looks great Jen! Love the lights for the bathrooms and the can lights look great that color. Can;t wait to see the fireplace stone! The boys bathroom looks great - is there an Annas Linens in Reno? They have a ton of shower curtains. You might be able to find something there. I know you mentioned you wree having a hard time finding one you like.Getting very close to move-in time now - how very exciting! I am so thrilled for all of you. Give the boys a hug from Gram-Gram.

All the house looks great; you've made good choices. Regarding shower curtain -- a good idea and you can always add the door later if you want. Besides shower curtains allows change in decor once in awhile, too.

Love Jacob's mohawk!

You're right Auntie Vaden! If I change the colors of the towels or what not later on, we can change it! Since it's also the guest bath I won't make it a "kid" shower curtain...no CARS or Finding Nemo! LOL. Also when new people live in it they can change the curtain out as well or put a door in.

Mom-I will look on line and see if there is one. Great idea! Thanks :-)
