What a difference a month makes!

Not bad, huh?  It is going so fast.  We are told 2 more months til it's done.  And we have been bombarded with making decisions.  It has been very stressful.  Now I understand why people are excited for us, but finish by saying, "I'm glad it's not me though".  I feel like each day I am running around for hours trying to pick stuff out, compare things, analyze, etc.  I have turned into the Mom from Phineas and Ferb, "I'll be back in a few hours kids!"



This hawk posed for me as I took the pic below.




Our front door.  
It is made out of cherry and is 2 1/4" thick.  
The company that made it inserted a special foam in the center of it so it won't expand and contract.


We had to pick out exterior doorknobs so that the home can be secured before the county will do the power inspection.  We picked simple balls as doorknobs.  We chose Schlage Orbit it satin chrome


The front door handleset is Emtek Wilshire in brushed nickel.


We also had to choose our faucets, because the plumbers needed to know what shower valves to put in our walls before they drywalled, etc.  This single handle faucet is Delta Vero in brushed nickel.  It will be in the Master Bath and 1/2 bath on the main floor.


We chose to go with the American Standard in chrome for the basement baths.


And of course they have you pick the tubs as well, cuz they need to be framed in and are probably difficult to fit through doorways once everything is framed.  In the basement are standard bootzcast tubs and for the Master Bath we picked Kohler Underscore 66"x36".  It can be dropped in or undermounted. It has very square lines for a modern flair.



                                                            Living Room fireplace.



Guest bedroom view.  


          They are just finishing up drywalling and textured the ceiling.  Next comes the exterior rock, staining the basement concrete, the hardwood flooring, tilework, the cabinetry, painting, and the trimwork.  I'll see you in a few hours kids!
