House Update: Cabinets, tile work & Other Odd Stuff


House update time!
Things are moving along. Slowly, but moving at least. The outside is almost done!! Can't wait to get our landscapers out there, get fenced and grass! The brick color turned out fantastic! Exactly what we chose and we couldn't be happier with it. 

The stone and mantel are in. Guys, when you marry a geologist, it isn't just about picking stone. You have to pick the right one. It has to look and feel right. And for the record Dan chose a lot of our stone work. Obviously I loved it too, but he had a say in all this. The mantel will be painted white. 

Little details are starting to be put in. One thing I love about our house is how incredibly high all the ceilings are. Everything feels open and breathable. It's dreamy. 
Walls are textured and will be painted soon. The walls will be gray with white trim. 

We customized a little locker center for backpacks, shoes and coats when the kids get home from school. I was REALLY REALLY worried about this and the placement of it. With our guest downstairs bathroom and then our master closet we had to put this little space closer to the front door. I was so worried that it was going to look weird. But thankfully it's doesn't at all! It's going to be so great to have that little space! Oh and the railings are all in too! Obviously nothing has been painted or stained yet. :) 


I truly love how gigantic this tile is. We really loved it when designing the home and now seeing it in place makes it all that much better. We still have design stone going in on this show and bathroom. This is guest bathroom 3. 

The front door is in but not stained. And our french doors to the room to the right is in the garage. We are hoping they will be placed by next week! 



 These are a bit old pictures. Keep scrolling and you will see the counter tops placed. 

We customized these side spice racks next to the stove. There is one on the other side The stove goes over those drawers. Yeah for not more stove drawers! Maybe it's because ours has been broken for over a year and I can't wait to be done with it!! 

The updated kitchen. So we have shaker cabinets and are still waiting for hardware to be placed. The backsplash is a simple white subway tile with a darker grout color! I can't believe how much the grout color makes a difference. 
Counter tops are gray quarts. We upgraded those from granite. (Again, when you marry a geologist, the stone matters) ;) 
Microwave and oven to the left and pantry in that door. Shelves are in!! Shaker cabinets will be placed under the island. It won't be left just white. 

This is our friend Taylor. He too is a geologist and they were examining all the stone and work in our house. Haha 

Ok so next time we are at the house I've got to do better at getting the Master bed and bath and the upstairs. That is my goal!
