Interior Paint Colors - Selection Process

What a nightmare.  Picking paint is not our favorite. Every hour or so, we have a complete panic attack and switch things up.  We've finalized these colors, but are still not sure we are happy with our decisions.  Fingers crossed that we love it!!

Siding Installation

Siding installation has begun. The house is really starting to take shape. I love watching everything happen so quickly!  Mikey and his crew have been working their tails off.

Drywall: Phase 2

We stopped by the house to see what our paint samples looked like in the actual space.  The Drywall guys were there spraying a layer of paint /primer to smooth out the finish.  The walls are starting to look like real walls in a real house!  I had to take a few shots.  Mikey said that kitchen cabinet installation and tile is scheduled for next week! Exciting stuff is happening!


Mikey and Dom - They love the camera

Window Installation

Mike and Ben have been working on installing our composite windows. I love the look of the black frames.  I think they will be so nice with our fresh, white house.




Mike sent us a text with a photo of our master bedroom window, pre-installation.  How could you not love this view!?
