Our House is Looking More Like a Home

I went by our house today for the first time in almost a week, and was pleasantly greeted by many changes. On the outside the concrete was poured for our driveway, front porch and back patio. The inside was even better! All of the cabinets have been installed in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room. The light fixtures are all up and running, and the walls are all painted! By the end of this week the floor and counters should be finished. All that leaves are some closet shelving, sinks, toilets and appliances! And to top it all off, our lending agent was just able to lower our interest rate by a full percentage point! That's going to lower our payment by about $130 a month and lower our closing costs by almost $1500!!! Yipee!


My large, open kitchen minus countertops and appliances.


This is the molding that is above all the windows and doors. Very nice! :)

All of our light fixtures are satin nickel finish with alabaster glass. This is our dining room light.

Our new neighbors are pretty friendly. They keep to themselves and are usually quiet, except for the occasional BAA BAA!

Lucky break on the interest rate! Ours went UP before we got to sign. Your house is lookin' more like a home every day.

I was just checking in (again) and had to chuckle. Seeing the pictures of your house reminds me of my conversation with Skip - Danielle "How many bedrooms does your new house have?"
Skip "Six".
Sarah "Skip, we don't have six bedrooms, there are three".
Skip "Sorry, I thought you said bathrooms".
Danielle "You have six bathrooms?"
Skip "No".

Okay, now I'm full on laughing. That conversation deserves it's own post, because I'm not so sure what that husband of yours was thinking!

You guys crack me up. Hope you are doing well, and that the house is making some progress in this nasty weather! Looking forward to the next update.
