This past week, the contractors installed the backsplash in the kitchen. I have been going back and forth with this backsplash… somedays I am happy with it and then other days I started doubting the color and wished we had picked the white subway tiles instead. For some reason, I thought the “greige” color would be slightly darker, but once we see it in the kitchen, I am in love with it again and it’s the perfect hue!
I love that the grout between the tiles is also very thin, which makes it easier for clean up!
Part of the vent hood is installed as well as the gas cooktop. We had to upgrade to a “Gourmet” kitchen with the builder because I wanted a separate vent hood as opposed to the microwave hood combination that comes with the house. And with that same package, our appliances are also upgraded. I am actually not a huge fan of the GE appliances (which come with the house), but since the builder doesn’t give us any credit back if we don’t take the appliances, so we got the next level up which is the GE Cafe Series and they are pretty nice. The appliance package includes the cooktop, double oven/microwave and the dishwasher.
Since we have to purchase our own refrigerator, we just ordered my dream Samsung counter depth fridge since Costco is currently running a special promotion.
We selected these brushed nickel farmhouse style kitchen and bathroom fixtures…
Totally loving this rain shower head in both the master bathroom and the guest bathroom:
Ahhhh… and our “greige” wood look tile floors in the master bath and the rest of the ground floor of the house!
The next time we see the house on Monday, July 16th, it will be the first final walk-through with the builder’s Home Care Specialist. We have about 3 hours to inspect the house to make sure everything looks and works fine. Anything that is not up to par, we will let them know and they will try to fix the issue before our 2nd and last walk-through on Friday, July 20th. Then we will be picking up the keys that same afternoon!
