my pretty pretty shower

i didn't think i would ever get to say this but the shower i so lovingly designed is finished. and the good news is if i stand on my tiptoes i can adjust the shower head. apparently it's made for tall people....whatever. :P

master bath sink. this is paul's side because i get the one with more cabinets. yes because i'm a chick.

looks like the house got a case of chicken pox. they re-textured over all the places that had dents, divots, scratches,etc. now just waiting for paint touch ups. oh and i have no idea what happened with this picture but the paint does not look this mustard-y. BLAH. it is beautiful not bleh.
the fireplace is DOOOOOOOOOOONE. such pretty fake logs.

front stoop is finished. love the brick detailing.

we are t minus three days. i swear time is standing still.

temp does not stand for temporary

this will be a fun little story for you. we went for our walk through/inspection today. while discussing what was left to do the guy brought up the window that was broken. shanna, very intelligently, said "the windows in the bathrooms need to be replaced too. they say temporary on them." fyi- that means tempered glass. as in privacy so people can't see you in the bathroom. ahhhh i see now.

the day before inspection we were going to go the house and make a list of what we thought needed to be fixed. dallas (the head contractor) beat us to it. here's his 9pg list of what still needs to be done. i don't even know what half of it means but he's apparently very thorough.

we have grass, a tree, and landscaping.

i like the red bush. it's a crapemyrtle...which is my new favorite word

i am not a fan however of the big hairy cousin it looking weed on the right side of the pic. that will be gone asap when we move in.

ah the backyard. with grass. and the charlie brown tree that is now thriving in it's new environment.

the kitchen is done man. love the tile.

better picture of tile. not really the right coloring but you can see it AND the sweet appliances.

the mosaic floor in master shower. obviously it's not grouted yet.

i didn't know these existed. our toilet flusher handle is the oil rubbed bronze to match faucet, shower head, and door handles. so cute.

mirrors and towel racks are in

as are the blinds. this makes me sleepy.

climbing fences

our fence is up. they did it FAST. they also did the backsplash in the kitchen so the kitchen is d-o-n-e but the house has been locked so can't get any pics of it.

backyard. you can see paul's charlie brown tree in the corner.

dirt work?check. lightswitches? check. floors? check check!

so exciting that there's not mounds of dirt everywhere. you can sort of see the slope of the backyard. awhile back jeff wanted to "warn" us that due to the hill we built our house on we wouldn't have a big, flat backyard to play football in. dang that was the first thing i was going to do when we moved in.

gimme some grass baby

paul's treasured pendant lights. they're going to lower them a bit more. in person they look sort of stubby if that makes sense.

kitchen is starting to get more appliances.and we have a sink and a faucet. WITH A SPRAYER which the apartment does NOT have. (who knows why) chandler, one of the neighbor girls, didn't realized she'd walked into this until it was too late. cracks me up.

focus on the floor- whoop whoop

ooh think how much clothes i can fit in that closet

carpet/dirty tile. btw- the carpet is so soft...perfect for naps. i checked.
