Bathrooms


I have been looking at bathrooms on Pinterest, trying to figure out what I am wanting for my new ones.

In the new house we will have one 1/2 bathroom on the main level,  a master bathroom off the master bedroom, a full bathroom upstairs for Madison and guests, and a full bathroom in the basement including a urinal, more on that later.

I have never had a "1/2 bath" before so I am not so sure what I want to do in there, maybe something like this:       

 This glamorous bathroom is awesome.



  
Of course, this sink is simple and something that I think I could live with for a long time.


Hamilton Vanity

                                               As you can see, I am all over the place on this!

                                                                            Yikes!  


I am going to try to put some pictures of things together so I can figure out what looks good together.

Any suggestions?

Chandelier

I love this chandelier!


white-chandelier
I don't think that I have a place for this in the new house, though.

It could be just a little too fancy for our house.

So far all of the lighting that I have is vintage or antique, so I am now looking for some more modern pieces.

Any suggestions?

Our Brick Selection

We have got our brick picked out.

It is Glen-Gery brick.


It looks like it has been worn and it's not brand new.

The brick is only going on the ends of the house, like the house plan.
We have decided to add stone around the windows to incorporate the stone that we have used in our landscaping.


They should be here sometime in the middle of November to get started on this.

I can't wait.
I think it's going to look awesome!!

What do you think??
Do you like it?


Pictures to come.

Christmas Decorations Are Already Out

I was out and about the other day and noticed that the Christmas decorations are already on display everywhere.

I love the sparkle of Christmas.

These metal Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus are the coolest decorations I have found this year.



They even had the donkey.....


and a sheep.

You don't have your Christmas decorations out already, DO YOU???

Madison's Room


In our new home to be we have two bedrooms upstairs with a bathroom between them.

Madison had already picked which room that she wanted to be hers, until the closet was finished.

We doubled the size of the closet in this room.

Check it out.

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?


More later.............................Sally
