Exterior stone and more decisions.

Today the exterior stone was being placed while the painters were staining the doors and windows.


















Tom (TWF Designs) and Merielle (Oceanside Glass Tile) chose the kitchen back splash tile using the granite sample. We lugged this 30 lb. piece of granite around to make sure it will go well together. Tom is my interior designer. He is steering me in the right direction and the house shows it.

We have exterior color.

Two raffle prizes in one day! Woo, hoo. God is always there leading me to the next blessing. Fun things take my mind off all the other STUFF.













The exterior stucco is finished. Now the stone veneer is ready to go on. The painters will be staining doors and windows today. I can't wait to come home from work and see the progress.

The kitchen cabinets are going in, not without some twists and turns. I'm glad Richard is a perfectionist. Joe also brought up the fact that our under counter fridge won't fit if we don't put tile under the whole island. Wouldn't that have been a bummer?













The glass tile in the master shower is gorgeous. Sometimes I just sit in there and marvel at the artistry it took to install it.













I took my copper sink out of the box and put it where it's going just to see what it will look like.

All in all we're moving along. Just a few hitches, none that can't be fixed with more work and more money. Tom helped me choose the remaining granite and shower door glass. I thought I would never decide.

Halloween Party at the Strizvers

Sponge Bob characters galore! We had a blast at our house party. It was so great to feel like we had a house to invite guests to.
