Doors and Door Handles
As I promised, here is a picture of the front door.
I haven't decided what color to stain it yet.
Originally I was going to stain it to match the floor of our Trex (wood looking) floors on the porch.
But we decided against the Trex flooring and went with cement floors.
So..............I'm not sure what to do with the color, maybe black to match the roof?
I wanted to show you the transom window above the door.
It's my favorite part.
We really like the darker bronze finish that some of the door knobs have right now, but we had to do the silver to match the silver lead in the cut glass design in the door.
When the sun shines through the front door in the late afternoon it makes beautiful rainbows all over the floor.
Here is a shot of the basement walk out.
We went with the silver to match the lead in the doors also.
We have decided the single lever door handle is so much easier to use than the regular door knob, so we are going to use these as much as possible.

Right now Big Ran is still working on siding the eaves, he will be done with that this week.
Moving right along.

Here's What's Happening At Our House
The building crew is done with the structure of the house.
All of the windows and most of the doors are in.
We still have a couple that are special ordered that aren't in yet.
Do you like the grids in the windows and some of the doors?
They are between the glass, the only way to go as far as cleaning them!

We are buttoning up for the winter now.
Big Ran is working on siding the eaves.
He's doing a great job.
Yes, it is nice to have a husband that can do that!
What are you guys doing around your place?

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 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.
.
You can find them in every room of the house.
|
It's a rustic feel, yet industrial, and even modern.
They come in lots of different colors.
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.
What do you think?

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.

Hopefully there will be some shingles up there next week.
