Hi All! I took a break from posting last week as we were just a wee bit busy moving in. We still are! It takes forever to get settled. It also doesn’t help that there is still so much going on here. I wish I had an exciting “Room Reveal” post for this week, but I do not. In fact we don’t have one room finished here yet. (the above…
Well, it is finally happening. After owning this house for almost a YEAR AND A HALF, we are finally moving in! Ready or not, here we come! We bought this place in December of 2014 then went through 2 architects and met with several contractors before we could even begin. Once we finalized the plans it took forever to get permits and for the work to actually begin. What a long process.…
Hello! We’ve made lots more progress on the House house. We are targeting a move in date for the first weekend in May. That is less than 2 weeks away! The house might not be totally done but it’ll be damn close. I’ve been so busy I barely had time to write today’s post. But here goes nothing…. Kitchen… Check out my new kitchen! It is beautiful. We are still…
You guys, things are really moving along now! It is awesome. Check out my past updates here, in case you’ve missed anything. Bathroom cabinets… All the custom bathroom cabinets have been installed, except for the small powder bath which we decided to not go custom on. We’ll purchase something ourselves for that. I’m trying to find something a little different and not white for that bathroom. Hardwood Floors… Our hardwood floors have…
Hi, We moved, again. We are now in my husband’s aunt and uncles condo in East Naples. So thankful that we had this option! We can’t thank them enough for letting us use it until they come down for a visit next month. 🙂 Speaking of family, we had a great visit with my brother-in-law and family this weekend. It was so nice to see them and my kids had…
Getting Close… Lots of stuff has happened in the House house since my last update. Picking paint colors… I have such a hard time picking paint colors. It isn’t easy. Does anyone else have a hard time with this? I’ve hired color experts in my last 2 houses to help me choose but last week the painters were ready to paint and other contractors were waiting for the painters to finish…
Hello All! The kids were off for Spring Break last week so I didn’t have time for a weekly update. We were in Orlando. We visited Aquatica, SeaWorld and the Universal parks. It was very fun time. Back to reality this week. While we were gone lots of stuff went down at the House house… Drywall… The drywall is done! Hallelujah! What a long way we have come. Here are before/afters,…
Mold Updates… Last week I told you about our mold issues. Here is the latest. We finally got our second mold test back and levels of one type of mold are still somewhat high (they test for about 20+ different molds). The good news is that our levels of stachybotrys chartarum, aka the dreaded ‘black mold’, are non existent. Whew! That is the stuff you really don’t want in your house. On Monday we…
