Moving Right Along

I drove by the house the other day and noticed a Sal's Granite and Marble truck out front.  That could only mean one thing...COUNTERTOPS!!!

I really like how the kitchen is turning out.  The island countertop is granite that looks similar to Carrera marble.  I didn't trust marble with the family eating at the island daily.  It just seemed like too much maintenance with a young family.  The back countertops are my favorite!  We are so glad we splurged on them.  They are a black leathered Brazilian granite.  They have this great texture to them as well as flecks of gray in it to pull in the island color.  

This is my new kitchen sink and faucet.  I can't tell you how long I've wanted this look in my house!  I LOVE it!

If you click on this picture, it will enlarge so you can see it better.  This shows the kitchen with the doors and drawer fronts on the kitchen cabinets.  I can't wait to see the wood floor stained to get a better look at the entire room.

This is our new laundry room.  I've been wanting a countertop over my washer/dryer for years now.  If we had stayed in Utah, Andy and I were going to build something similar over my units.  I'm excited to be able to fold, stack, etc. on top of the washer/dryer and not lose socks behind the dryer, etc!

Here's a better look at the entire laundry room.  I love all the storage we'll have in this room!

My new tubby!!!  Think anyone would notice if I snuck over and soaked in it at night?!?  I can't wait to use this new tub and see the faucet installed!

I love all the natural light that will come in through the big window at the tub!  The window will have plantation shutters for privacy, but the light will still be great.  

 This is our master vanity...The color is a little less red than it shows here - hard to get good lighting because none of the lights have been installed yet.  This cabinet and countertop look awesome with the tile flooring we chose!  Can't wait to get the entire picture!

This is the downstairs bath vanity.  We are so pleased with the way this room is turning out too - especially since we picked out flooring, granite and cabinets all at different locations!  

Things are moving right along now, thankfully.  We'd like to try to move in the beginning of April.  We are hoping the timing works out so we can move out of the apt before our year lease is up and we end up paying more in rent to go month to month.  When people ask about our house, I use the analogy of being 8 months pregnant...You just can't wait for it to be over and start the next chapter.  That's how this feels.  We are getting so close, but still have about 2 months to go.  At least the big changes taking place help us see the light at the end of this year long tunnel.
