This week at the house, the light fixtures and tile floors are in! I can’t believe that all the selections that we made at the Home Gallery last November are finally being put in at the new house. Everything is really coming together and we are almost there. I feel a little sad that the home construction process is almost coming to an end. It has been such an amazing learning experience and we would totally do it again in a heartbeat!
They finally put in the landscaping at our front yard. The garage door and the main front door still need to be painted, although I much prefer they stay white!
And the light fixtures are in as well. Here is our brushed nickel dining room orb chandelier! Isn’t it pretty?
Ahhh… and I just LOVE the pendant lights over our extended island in the kitchen! They look absolutely amazing!
And our wood-like tile floor is installed in the entire house too! I love how each tile has slightly different variations. The reason why we chose tile floor is that they are much cooler and easier to maintain when we have 3 furbabies. Their nails won’t scratch the surface, and it’s easy to clean up if they have hairballs! 🙂
The floor is all covered up until they finish the rest of the house. The pendant lights look so beautiful! I think we have enough lighting in the kitchen! 🙂
Can’t wait to have our dining room set under that gorgeous chandelier and the counter stools at the kitchen island.
The only thing I am not crazy about is the bathroom light fixtures. They didn’t have a lot of selections to choose from at the Home Gallery, so, for now, these will have to do.
The thermostats are in, and so are all the light switches and dimmers. We have been spoiled by the last loft and the current live/work space that we live in. Both places have dimmers and we LOVE them! We also heard that the light bulbs last longer if you have dimmers on them. Those will be perfect for the canned/recessed lighting because those bulbs are difficult to change.
How do you like these mushroom lights in the other 2 bedrooms? I call these the “boob” lights ‘cuz they truly look like boobies! 🙂 I prefer to have these ceiling mushroom lights installed as opposed to having floor lamps which take up space in the room.
Air vents are all in as well throughout the house! Darren said this would be the cleanest these vents are ever going to be… same as the HVAC system outside the house in the backyard! The fan blades are immaculate!
Love all the windows on the ground floor in our great room and dining area!
They are putting in countertops on Tuesday, June 19 and Wednesday, June 20. And we may see the bathroom/kitchen fixtures as well… saw the sinks in the boxes today. Stay tuned for next week’s update!
