Home progressing

What a difference 10 days makes! I had a friend snap a few shots while we were gone, but this is what I came back to: doors, cabinets, painted walls and ceilings, crown moulding, tile in tubs, banister on stairs, shelves, fireplacae frame, sidewalk, and back patio. Wowzers! AND, we got a closing date of April 29th--a good 2 weeks before their previous "tentative" date. So exciting!
I took these yesterday afternoon.



The cement on the back porch was nearly dry, not wet enough for our handprints (I did put it on the sidewalk, but worry it will get covered due to city inspections). I carved the first letter of all of our names right by the back door.
Inside, I love the fireplace--don't have one now and SO excited to decorate around it.
Notice the paint and moulding up.
Kitchen cabinets in...

They were working on the tile in the downstairs bathroom while we were there.
The tile cutter was loud.
The "cap and riser" stairs that I changed to instead of the ceilings painted white. I am happy with that decision. I like to see the outline of the stairs instead of just the straight edge.
Banister up, but covered due to paint. Below is the shot of the kitchen in our original lot. It is exactly as ours will be....except we are doing wood floors instead of tile.
Now the pantry....I noticed only 4 shelves and it looked off. I was pretty sure there was supposed to be 5, and I went down the street to verify (can only do that for 5 more days because it sold to others) and sure enough there are 5. I called Greg and told him and he said they'd fix it. I said if he wanted to do 6 shelves, I wouldn't mind at all:) We shall see.

I posted a few pics of wedding stuff on my photography blog, but will post more of our trip here in the next few days.
