Whew, after a week of deliberating and second-guessing myself, the lights are all ordered and on their way! My biggest problem was the foyer chandelier. For months I've had my heart set on this gorgeous West Elm capiz chandelier: But I knew it was large and came in several large packages ... View Post
And the door is in…drumroll, please…
I LOVE IT! Seriously, I couldn't be any happier with the way it turned out! I've been anxiously awaiting my front door. Like dreaming about it every night for the past few weeks…like trying to sketch it out (and boy do I suck at drawing!)…like endlessly googling and 'houzz'ing (is that a word?) ... View Post

Hopefully this will be the first of many posts this week! Construction entrance is up and our lot has been graded. They're planning to put down water and sewer lines sometime this week. Our construction permits are at the final stage (public works office) and will hopefully be back by the end of ... View Post
And now…we begin!!!
