Is this really my house?

We are really enjoying our 'new' home. I still find myself thinking "Is this really my house?" every now and then. I can't thank our designer and contractor enough for the work they have done. I don't even want to think about what might have happened if we had tried to do it ourselves!

So what exactly did we do? It's almost easier to talk about what we didn't do! Let's see, we...

  • Painted the walls throughout the lower level and into the loft
  • Installed wood flooring throughout the lower level
  • Installed new carpet on the stairs and in the loft
  • Installed new trim throughout the lower level
  • Painted the doors and installed new handles & hinges
  • Re-designed our media niche and fireplace with a new granite surround and custom mantel
  • Installed granite countertops in the kitchen with the requisite new sink and faucet
  • Installed a new toilet in the powder room
  • Installed new light fixture in the entry way, hall, kitchen and powder room

We are also anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new window treatments, living room furniture and rug. I think that sums it up. I hope everyone reading this has an opportunity to visit soon. We'll host an event after the furniture arrives but there is no need wait - we'd love share our new home with you anytime!

I will have to have a cyber tour instead of a real life visit, so be sure to post pics for me! Sounds like fun and I can't wait to see the final results! You have worked very hard for a long time...enjoy it!

Such lovely clients you and Chris are [Dash, too, of course]. Thanks for your patience and it does look wonderful and can't wait to get the furniture in and get those accessories in place!!!! You know, they are the "jewelry" to the outfit!!!!!
