The House!

Here is the AWESOME house that Preston built and that we are so fortunate to live in. However as I was taking these pictures I realized that I have not decorated at all since we moved in. So sorry. It looks very bare, but hopefully soon I will hang pictures, curtains, etc.


I took this picture so I could show you how it looked with the Wayne's coat and the blue. It turned out awesome and I love the contrast of the dark hardwood floors.

I love having the Fireplace. It will be great for this winter. Again, Preston did an awesome job. And above the fireplace is a little something that Preston bought for himself for all his hard work. He totally deserved it!

P.S. We still have to do all the wiring for the TV so that is not what it will always look like...well hopefully not. :)

Here is the Kitchen. And there is the builder himself. We are so proud of him. This experience of building and finishing our own home was so long, annoying and exhausting, but in the end we are very pleased. We saved a lot of money which is always worth it!

Look under the Micro hood. See that little faucet? Out of everything in our house people seem to like that the best. It's a pot filler. It was Preston's idea and I love it!


We have an Ice Maker! Hurray! That is my favorite thing. All the water and Ice I can possibly want!


I wish I could get a better picture of this. This is the shower that Preston just had to have. Of course he did it. I LOVE the tile. I picked out the pebbly rock thingies.

Even the turtle got a new home.


We feel so blessed and are grateful for this experience. It has taught us so much!

It's almost done...and I hate people.

Ok, so the house is close to completion and I'm so sick of thinking about it I could puke. It has taken over our lives and Preston and I joke that once it's done we won't even want to move in. I don't know when we will be in, and I really don't wont' to speculate either...so I'll keep you posted.

The hardwood floors are looking awesome and I really love my sparkly flip flops! The bedrooms are tan and the bathrooms are yellow (There isn't any yellow posted).





Well, as you can see the walls are blue, it was a little scary to try such a bold color, but I think it has turned out well. You can also see the Wayne's coat and the trim that Preston created. He did an excellent job.




The yellow (which is not pictured), I'm not so sure about, but my mother-in-law is an interior decorator and promises me that it will look fabulous once all is said and done.
The funny thing is that I just had a conversation with my sister Andrea about how I don't really love yellow, and one of the colors that warms up a blue is yellow. So we will actually have quite a bit of yellow in our home.



My mother-in-law and I have already bought yellow pillows and various other things to put in the house once it is completed.
So...I guess I will have to start to like yellow.



And for the "I hate people" comment I really wish my friend Shauna was here with me so I could vent to her about how I hate people, and she would laugh and then I would get over it. So watch out, I am in no mood to please or be polite.

P.S. At the risk of sounding too bitter I will take my sister's advice and say what I am grateful for.

I'm grateful for dumb people, because without them I wouldn't know how smart and well put together I am. :)
