I. Am. In. Love.

We stopped by the house today. They put out real door and doorknob on so my breaking and entering skills are no longer sufficient. Today I used my Madilynn skills.
She got in and then realized the door was unlocked. Hahahahaha! 

Anyways... They vacuumed and swept, patched some more paint, and took the paper off the vinyl floors. 

And more importantly... They put in out counter tops!! And I'm in 💕
I love love love it. 
Here is a close up of the color
We went upstairs to find our bathroom complete. We even have water now.
And we also have closet shelves now. Here is half of my closet, I may sleep in there next Tuesday!

Carpet and lotsa dirt


Declan and I ventured over to the house yesterday and unfortunately everything was locked up tight. So I did what anyone would do and went back to the car to grab this:
I used to be pretty good and breaking and entering and apparently I've still got it. My poor library card is a little banged up on the left side but oh well, we got in :) 
Yesterday they did carpet in most of the house! 
And they brought in a whole lotta dirt
They also poured rocks for our driveway.
I believe they are painting and carpeting again today as well as doing outdoor work. Hard to believe that 2 weeks from today we will be officially moving in!! 

Oh... I also received an email last night that we are CLEARED TO CLOSE! I'm so ready to do this!!

Well after lots of drama and overcomplicating everything, Madilynn has changed her room color:
I'm sure you were all dying to know. 
And here is a close up of our colors:
Kitchen, morning room, and family room

More updates

Today we had a fireplace!!
The plumber was there so we had toilets, faucets, shower heads, and our outdoor hose spickets. 
Here is the back of the morning room completely sided, I love it! 

And then I met our friend Derek at the model house to talk paint. Below are our colors. The red is in the family room and kitchen/morning room for accent walls, light blue is an accent wall in the master bedroom, and crazy blue will be all of madis room.

Action... Lots more action


It's amazing how much they can get done in a day!! We have some siding and I LOVE the color! It's a little darker than I expected but I really like it with the brown shutters and white trim. That is something I wouldn't have chosen so I have mike to thank for that :)


Notice the light fixture as well ^^^
The kitchen cabinets also went in today and I'm told the granite guys would be there to measure at the end of the day:
The kids vanity and mirror was put in (sorry for the bathroom mirror selfie!):
There are doors everywhere and trim was getting out up while we were there:

Our bathroom vanity and mirror were out in (again, bathroom selfie) and the faucet was put in on the tub:


I absolutely cannot believe that in 3 weeks we will be living here!!

Lights, floors, action!

Over the last couple of days they have gotten quite a bit done at the house. We now have most of our lighting fixtures, heat, and all vinyl/tile floors. 

Vinyl floor in the entry way, lighting fixture as well.

Vinyl in the kitchen, also recessed lights:
A thermostat and heat! 
Lighting in the kids bathroom:
Our bedroom:
The AMAZING tile in our master bath, I am SOOOOOOO excited about this!!!
A doorbell (and a pretty cute young man to ring it:
And a whole lot more got delivered yesterday - cabinets, countertops, and trim:

We are STILL waiting on siding (and it's killing me) but dates haven't changed. Three weeks from tonight is our first night sleeping there! Can't wait!
