Still Framing

The house is looking A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! We have walked through it several times (almost every night) and I am a little more comfortable with the size of the rooms. It is just so deceiving right now. I love that we can now refer to it as "the house" when talking with our little girl instead of "the lot." G loves her room and wanted to sit in her window tonight for a picture.





This is the single stall of the garage.



And this is the double stall on the left side of the garage.



This is a door to the left of the garage that we will go in when the garage doors are down. We think we will love having this feature for family that comes over all the time who wouldn't usually use the front door. It will be easier than putting the garage door up for them. :)



Here is the door inside of the garage that will go directly to the mudroom. The bracing makes it kind of hard to see, but it's right where the step is.



This is the mudroom. The window will be over the folding table which will be right next to my LG graphite front loading washer and dryer. (Dreaming, dreaming. It's not in the budget. We would have to be under budget for me to get those beauties. Shux.) The cubbies will be opposite this wall.



This will be the dining room. It will have a full column close to the center of the entrance into the dining room and half columns against the wall on each end of the entrance, if that makes any sense at all.



Here is the kitchen. They just got the beam up today. We are thinking it will be stained and cased in the same wood as the island, a dark walnut. If you go through the doorway in the kitchen, my desk will be on the right and the walk-in pantry/safe room is on the left.



This will be the foyer and the opening will be the front door. It will just be a single door with sidelights and a transom above. I am excited to have a true foyer.



The framers will be busy all week, finishing framing in the garage and some closets. The trusses should be delivered sometime this week and once those are up they will stick build the rest of the roof. The front porch will also be built in the next few days. I am just tickled with the progress they have made in the last week!
