Finalizing the kitchen!

I think it's time…fingers crossed but I think we're sending in our kitchen cabinet order today!  I think of all the people we've been working with for the house construction, our contact at Shenandoah Woodworks is my favorite.  Herbie has been amazingly patient and incredibly responsive to any and ...

And it’s up!

We've got two floors, four walls, and all interior framing!  The roof comes tomorrow (weather pending) and stairs, windows, and doors arrive later this week!  I can't believe how fast it's moving now that we've finally gotten started.  It's hard to believe that just a few weeks ago I was getting ...

And it just keeps coming!

Steve and I were shocked to find the workers out and about today.  I guess they're not taking weekends off!  We now have exterior walls (I think?) and the start of the second floor!  Those two windows up there are for Steve's office and the bunny room!  Our builder mentioned on Facebook that they're ...

disclosure

I design for several companies because I truly love their products! Anything I recommend on my blog is something that I genuinely love and regularly use. I do not get paid for product reviews and I will never recommend a product that I do not like or would not use.

I am affiliated with Simon Says Stamp, Hero Arts Rubber Stamps, Lil' Inker Designs, Concord & 9th, WPlus9, Papertrey Ink, Altenew, and OrganizeMore which means I receive a small commission (at no additional cost to you!!) when you click on my links and make a purchase through any store.
