our house!

the house. the house is done. happy dance! i’m still pinching myself that all our dreams are coming true. and this is just the beginning. completing this first major wave of construction has been a journey for us. eventhough we still plan to add on a new master bedroom, move the laundry upstairs, finish the basement, add on more garages, fence in the yard, add a deck, and a new shed, we feel so happy. no more boxes and no more dust (until spring when we start phase 2, anyway). we are looking forward to a winter full of cuddling, cooking delicious comfort food in our dream kitchen, and planning future projects. we owe a lot to my dad, jim…who spent many weekends helping us. he is responsible for our awesome cabinetry and all the trim and doors. being an only child, he’s used to working hard to make his little girl happy, but i hope he knows how much we love him, not just for his skill, but also for his patience. he’s usually not a fan of white trim, but i think we won him over! and all of our other friends and family that have helped us over the last 7 months. and ryan! for putting up with my indecisive, creative mind and all that time you spent in the attic installing our lighting. i can’t wait to start making memories with you in our new little nest. : ) and now for pics! if anyone would like to know where we purchased anything, message me! i’d be happy to share. : ) **note: the ‘after’ pics were taken at 99% complete… please disregard the bits of missing trim in places. haha    and we’re still recovering from our housewarming party held last night! thanks, everyone, for replenishing our wine supply : )
