Happy November || Updates + Pics

October was great, but November will be even better!  For us, November means our home will be ready for delivery.  Thinking back to when our search first started, it's hard to believe it's almost over.  
As promised, I made a visit today and I am posting TODAY!  I could not believe how much has been completed since last week.  Although our PM emailed an update yesterday (his Friday ritual), we still wanted to see it for ourselves.  I know pretty soon, we will be locked out (like others in our row), so we need to take full advantage of the 'free-time'!  There were so many surprises, I'm not sure where to begin!  For the 100th first time, I got a little sentimental about being in the space.  Here's a list of items installed this week:
  • Tile flooring
  • Granite 
  • Some recessed lighting 
  • Kitchen pendant lights
  • Tankless hot water tank 
  • Some electrical/low voltage covers
  • Shower/tub tiles (master and hall baths)
  • Outside lighting
  • Thermostat (we will be changing this out once we move in)
  • Outside sidewalk/driveway 
Out of everything listed, guess what was the most exciting surprise?  Electric!  Yes, we walked in to a place lit with electric.  From the kitchen to our closets...we could see everything without using our iPhone light! 

Our PM informed us that our hardwood and carpet will be in next week.  He also mentioned that all electrical, HVAC and low voltage items will be completed next week.  If the weather holds up (lets all cross our fingers), we will have sod laid as well.  SAY WHAAAAT???  

Here are a few pics that I managed to snap in between my screaming of excitement!  I'm really in love with the place and can't wait to make it ours.  I adore our kitchen (as you can probably tell as most of the pics reflect this space)!  Honestly, the small things excite me just as much as the larger items.  The Rev-A-Shelf additions are awesome because towels, sponges and SOS pads, etc can have a home without being just 'out' in plain sight.

Yes! We have lights (garage entrance)
The kitchen (but not our Monster)!

  2. Breathtakingly gorgeous kitchen! That island is a cook's dream. I like the tile selection too! Your husband has good taste. If I would have left the selections up to my husband, we would have had all of the standard builder options.

    1. Thank you Natasha! I will surely have to learn to cook some new dishes! I will pass the compliment on to the hubs! LOL...my hubby was not having a blast at the decorating center, so when something stood out for him I quickly said YES! LOL I wanted him to have a say but after 4 hours, it was getting tough. Glad you like it!
