Decisions, Decisions.....so many Decisions
The contractors are quickly getting everything in place, the walls are in, the electrician is quickly putting in all of the switches and light cans. We've ordered doors and windows...we've decided on our front door and we are working on picking out the stone work for the garage side of the house and they two pull outs on the front of the house. We are adding some really wonderful things, we will have little lights on our stairs that are connected to a photo cell so they will automatically come on at night. The same is true with the sconces on the garage. We found an empty spot in the upstairs that we are turning into a storage area...
Yesterday the electrician discovered that they front window wasn't in the center of the room so next week they will be moving it. Trust me building a house isn't for the faint in heart..there is always some adjustment that needs to be made and it ALL costs money...


So we finally focused on bathroom vanities...here is what we've decided.
Yes the counter top is GLASS...tempered glass so it has a green tint to it...I know this is really modern but Paul and I love it, felt like the upstairs could be a little more Modern that the downstairs...I think it's rather Playful
This is the powder room's vanity on the main floor...we received this yesterday and you would not believe how beautiful the top is on this...it's a ribbon of caramel ribbons....we have a wonderful mirror that will go above this and will have oil rubbed bronze faucets. We have also bought a mini chandelier instead of lights above the mirror. It's going to be the bathroom that people are going to want to spend time in......

Master Bathroom Vanity....I think we will go with the top one...we haven't order this yet because it's currently out of stock but hopefully it will be in soon.

We now have a roof on and they are finishing the Heating Ducts..we had the electrical walk through and they will soon start that. Today the fireplace insides go in and if we are lucky..sheet rock will happen in a few weeks...

Now comes the time to get serious about picking out things for the house. It is not as much fun as you would think...Every decision has to be carefully weighed and examined on how it impacts something else. Fro example...forget you like antique fixtures...if they aren't the same finish as your bathroom faucet they you shouldn't get them...unless you are willing to fork over twice the money to get rubbed bronze for your faucet, shower and toilet handle. Which I'm not so it's brushed nickel finishes for me in every bathroom...
Sconces for the garage and front door  20.5 inches tall

This is a mirror that I want...probably will use it for the dinning room..I really love it!!
