Flooring!

Our tile flooring is in the beginning stages of installation. I am still trying to reassure myself that we made the right decision here. I think when the grout goes it will look better...at least I hope!

The kitchen sink...

The builders placed a plastic lining over the counter tops and the sink so as to ensure that no one places anything on the counters that may damage them. Here is a picture of our kitchen sink. Appliances are coming in next ...

Counter tops ...

These were a nice surprise this weekend...

Gettin' ready for tile ...

One of the hardest decisions we had to make with this house was what to do about flooring and where. We spent countless hours looking in magazines, going to open houses and design shops to figure out what would be the best thing to do. We decided to go with tile floors throughout all of the main walk areas throughout the house leaving only carpet in the bedrooms and John's "man cave" upstairs. Here are two pictures of the sub-flooring. This is the step down to prep the floors for the tile.

Paint ... really this time....

I stopped by the house on the way to work this morning to make sure the paint was in-fact on the walls and it was the correct color we selected. I was pleased to be able to see that not only had the walls been painted, but also doors and trim. I can't believe how fast it is going!

Bricks and bricks ...

The bricks are going up all over the sides of the house. Check out these pics!

Paint!

Daylight savings time is really messing with us this week in regards to getting to the house before the sun sets. John and I walked through last night with flashlights and saw that they have painted the walls, but we aren't totally sure what color. Here is the evidence.
