One of the first things we did after arriving home in Utah was to go check out the progress on the house. We didn't expect too much because of Christmas and New Years. We were so excited to see the lighting fixtures installed! They also were finishing our garage (that somehow got forgotten) with trim and paint. We found one error while there as well. I had requested a can light over the sink and they initially installed the fixture, but then when we got there, noticed that someone had patched the space and closed it up...Kind of a dumb thing to do since it IS listed on the electrical plans and it was there initially! Oh well, that shouldn't hold us up too long, just glad we can go there regularly to catch any errors and get them fixed quicker.
This is the lighting fixture in the entry...I can't wait to see it all spread out with bulbs in it!
These are the lights that are over our island. There is supposed to be a third one yet at the other end. We also have a bunch of can lights in the kitchen. In the photo below, you can see the patch where they removed my can over the sink. Why do men think they know what's best for a women in her kitchen? You can tell this was removed by a man who has never attempted scrubbing pots and pans in the evening and become frustrated because her body is creating the shadow over her work space! It was there for a reason - plus we PAID for it to be there! (sorry for the rant...it's just been one of those days around here)
You can see where the under cabinet lighting will eventually go by the wires hanging down. I also had to convince Andy to splurge on the cabinetry at the stove...it bumps out and has spindles on the sides. The same thing will be repeated at the ends of the countertop on the island.
This is where my double ovens will be...I had them in our last house and love it! So much cheaper to heat up one smaller convection oven instead of a huge one for everyday use.
This is the solution to my pantry woes in Florida. We had a beautiful 4 bedroom home (with a 5th br option) and a TINY pantry. Who designed that? Probably a relative of the guy who took out my sink light! This pantry will have MORE than enough space.
Look familiar? It's similar, but not the same as my nook lighting from Pa and Fl. Those two were exactly the same. I happen to like this one a little better.
We should have no problem seeing in our family room. Tons of can lights, eyeballs at the fireplace and a beautiful ceiling fan.
I can't wait for them to finish the spindles on the stairs. Riley and Kendall were running around upstairs and the area at the top landing is a great space for someone to fall head first down to the tile floor below. Needless to say, I have tiny freak outs while we're upstairs.
Countertops are being made - they created the template while we were gone. Hoping to see them the beginning of next week. It's coming together...they need to install counter tops, plumbing fixtures, carpet, stain the floors and then some odds and ends and we can move in! We're in the home stretch now...Still working on patience, but the closer we get, the more anxious we all become!
