Yes, We Are Still Building a House

In case you are wondering, we are still building a house.

We have a gorgeous black roof on.

It's hard for me to get a good straight on shot of the house because right beside me is a huge pile of dirt with weeds growing out of it.

It is finally starting to look the house plan,

don't you think?

Since my last post we have added a front porch and part of the windows and doors, too.

It has really changed the look of the house.

I am going to take some more pictures of the front door and show them to you very soon.

In the mean time, this is a close up of it.

Here is a shot of the cleaning crew.

Obviously Madison and Big Ran are moving really fast.

But Shafer stopped long enough to get his focused picture taken!

Nate Berkus Show Cancelled

The Nate Berkus Show Gets Axed

By Jillian Bowe 

After two seasons, The Nate Berkus Show is being cancelled. According to Broadcasting & Cable, SonyPictures Television and Harpo Studios have decided to pull the plug on the Oprah protege's show after the current season ends. Sony and Harpo released a joint statement saying:

After careful consideration, we have decided that The Nate Berkus Show will not return for a third season in the fall. We are grateful for the hard work and heart that Nate, [executive producer]Corin Nelson and their entire team have poured into the show, and we're very proud of what they've delivered.

The show's second season is still in production. It will continue to produce and air all of the original episodes that are scheduled. Berkus stated:

I'm incredibly proud of my hard working and talented staff, and proud of the show we were able to produce every day.

The Nate Berkus Show debuted in 2010. The interior designer's show never seemed to grab the ratings prior Oprah spins-offs earned. This caused industry watchers to wonder if it would stick around. Once NBC inked talk show deals for Jeff Probst and Steve Harvey, The Nate Berkus Show's renewal status started to look bleak, despite Sony and NBC locking the show into a three-year deal. With two new shows coming from the peacock network in 2012, Berkus' third season seemed highly unlikely because of a lack of time slot and being costly to keep in production.

Don't you think that we need more talk shows???
I am not happy about this!!

I'm sure everyone already knew about this, but I am very sad.

I love the Nate Berkus Show.

How am I going to finish my house without him?

Barn Lights

Barn lights are becoming more and more popular, and not just outside.

by Birdseye Design

You can find them in every room of the house.

 

 

by Savvy Interiors

                                     It's a rustic feel, yet industrial, and even modern.


                                                They come in lots of different colors.

 

So, not only do you have to pick out the fixture you like the best, you have to decide on the color.

So far, in all the pictures I have seen of these so called, "Barn Lights" these are my favorite.

Trusses in Place

We have most of our trusses in place, now we need to get a roof on this place!

Here's what our house looks like now.
Do you see those flat places on the very top of the trusses?
Those still need the peeks put on, but the builders are doing that as they get to the top so they have something to climb on.

Just in case you haven't noticed, this house has a lot of different roof lines.

I am going to need a lot of Christmas lights!

This is part of our back porch.

Hopefully there will be some shingles up there next week.

Lucite

I am very intrigued by Lucite chairs.

They are so sleek and sophisticated, yet playful.

Of course, I wouldn't want my whole house or even a whole room decorated in Lucite, just an occasional piece here and there.

Let's Go Take A Dip

I think the heat is getting to me!!

It has been in the upper 90s the past couple of days and guess what.
My air conditioner broke down on me! 

I think any of these pools would work.

Just looking at these puts me in a much better mood.

Come and join me in make believe, won't you?
