Crown molding...

Here is another one of our upgrades we picked out in May - double step crown molding. It is present in the dining room, John's office and the master bedroom (which has a tray ceiling).

Closet spaces...

The shelves and rods have been installed into some of our closets. We determined that I am going to need a double-step step stool to get access to everything. Of course John has no problem reaching every shelf!

An attic space...

We will have two attic spaces to access for storage. Here is a pic of the downstairs one. Michelle - John said this was your room! Don't worry, I told him that his "man cave" is actually in the attic!

Stucco & molding

The work on the outside of the house begins! The stucco has been blown on as well as the molding, but the bricks seem to stay in the place they have always been. We are told that we are different than any other house on the block because our house will actually be all brick with the exception of a few stucco decor elements. Guess that is why they are putting off doing in it?! Who knows, but at least we do know the bricks are on site whenever they do feel like getting around to 'em!

Windowsills, benches and counters....

Interior Doors ...

All of the doors downstairs are at 8'. I feel like they go on forever and John thinks they are normal. Sometimes I think he takes "tall pills" because I am feeling increasingly shorter every day. I will get to the bottom of that and report back. In the meanwhile, enjoy the pictures!

Garage Door ...

Here is a sneak peak at our garage doors. They will be painted to match the house and have the faux effect of the carriage-type doors (think the wooden plank doors).
