Happy New Year!!

3 Jan

Wow. Can you believe it’s 2012? Seems crazy to me! A lot of big exciting changes are happening this year. The completion of our entire home renovation as well as our wedding in August!! I’m so excited about both. I have kinda been slacking in wedding planning recently because everything reno has taken over our lives but that’s okay. I feel pretty good about where we are at in wedding planning and have just over 8 months to go! Next up are our save the dates, which I’ll be sharing later on.

I have progress photos of the house! It’s been a long time since I shared some, so here it goes.

Right when you walk in the door from the garage

Can you spot our new front door?

The rough drywall is now done, they just need to finish it. It’s really starting to look like a house at this point! Yay!

Here’s a sneak peek at some of our tile!!

This is the marble bullnose for the master shower sitting inside the wall insert for shampoo and conditioner

 

Accent tile border for hall shower, sorry for the crap photo I was taking this in our pitch black garage

 

Basket weave marble for master bath floor!

 

Porcelain tile for upstairs hall bath floor. I love how this mimics the gray striations in the marble top of the vanity.

 

 

You are now officially updated on all the progress at the house! It’s coming along quickly. Our hardwood floors for the entire first floor of the house are coming in a week. I hope to secure our slab of granite for the kitchen counters within the next week, and we are selecting the rest of our light fixtures soon! I’m most anxious to see how the kitchen turns out, we have a meeting with our contractor tonight to confirm our custom cabinet selection.

I’m getting ahead of myself with looking at furniture, but I’m so dang excited to decorate the house!

Wishing you all the best in 2012!!!
