The Downstairs Hallway

This post is 4th in a series of finished rooms in the new house.

Downstairs Hallway

The downstairs hallway is finished.

This hallway is when you come in from the garage to the kitchen.

There are four little rooms off of this hallway.

The EXIT room (which I have already shown you), the 1/2 Bath, the laundry room, and the pantry.  

On the walls we hung grass cloth wallpaper with board and baton on the lower half.

This star light is my favorite light that we have in our house.

It lets off a great display on the walls and ceiling!

The ceiling and trim are white.

On the floor is the same tile that is in the EXIT room. 

What do you think???

More rooms are finishing up everyday!

The Exit Room

Here is the second post in a series of finished rooms.

In case you missed the first one it was on the dining room.

I'm going to start posting the rooms that we have finished as we finish them.

They are not cleaned or decorated, but they will all have flooring, lighting, and all of the construction done on them.

This is the "EXIT" room.

This room is to the left when you walk in the house from the garage.

This view is from the back porch looking in through the hallway and ending at the half bathroom door.

The walls are painted green.

The trim is all white.

The door to the right is oak, it leads to the attic above the garage. 

The picture below is from the hallway out to the back porch.

We are planning on adding a pool out there where all that nice dirt is as soon as we can.

So, when that is done, you will be able to get from the pool to the half bathroom easily. 

This porcelain tile is what we have in here, the hallway, and the entry way.

You can't tell by the pictures here, but this flooring has brown, tan, and grey in it. 

This is why I refer to this small hallway as "The Exit Room".

I found this light on Ebay and I couldn't resist!

Needless to say, it was the starting point for this room.

Next up in the series is the upstairs hallway.

Dining Room

I am starting a series of posts on finished rooms.

This is the first one. 

The dining room is totally finished!

This is the view when you first step in the house from the entryway.

I love this room.

Large did all the trim work and these pictures do not do his handy work justice.

The board and batten was a lot of work!

The upper part of the wall has grass cloth wallpaper on it.

It turned out just the way that I envisioned it.

This is a shot of the ceiling.

Now that we have one room completely finished, I had to add this beautiful plant that I got from my besties, (Lora - Connie - Marilyn) at my grandma's funeral that we had this morning.

Large is really getting things done around here.

More pictures to come!

Next is the "Exit" room.

Work On The House

Thought I would update you a little on the work that Large is doing on the new house.

This is a picture of the 1/2 bath.

Right now he is working on taking the door out and putting in one that swings the other direction.

Love, love, love the black and white tile.

The antique, restored light is hung, now I'm looking for a couple of shades for it.

Large has hung the grass cloth wallpaper in the hallway.

Now he is working on the board and batten. 

The Master Bedroom is finished!!!

The Family room has been painted in a dark teal and trimmed out in white.

The crown molding is all that is left to do in here.

The entryway is being painted white.

Large's office is coming along.  

Yes, that is a green and orange wall.

The dining room is ready for the grass cloth wallpaper to go up.

Slowly but surely it is all getting done.

Large has set a move in date of April 1st.

Yay!!!

What do you think so far????

I would love to hear your opinion.

1/2 Bathroom Floor Is Down

I realize it has been quite awhile since I have posted anything on the new house.

We are working on the 1/2 bath in the main part of the house right now.

Big Ran and I decided to go with black and white for the color scheme.

The floor is made up of 2 inch black hexagon tiles with white grout.

Since my breast cancer diagnosis, we have slowed down a lot on the house project, we have been spending many hours at doctors appointments.

I have also spent many hours recovering from the surgery and chemotherapy.

We are very determined people though!

What do you think about the tile?

I AM LOVING IT!!!!

Master Bedroom Flooring

We have been working on the flooring in the Master Bedroom.

Well, actually I haven't been helping too much.

I have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Last Friday I had a mastectomy on my right breast.

We go to the doctor tomorrow and find out what happens next.

Sooooooooooooooo  Big Ran got a couple of smaller helpers to help him for a while.

This is a picture of our two little grandsons, Michael and Hudson.



He has much better help now.

     

They are doing a great job!!!

Here Is An Update On The New House

We are still working on the upstairs.  

This is a sneak peek at the tile in the bathroom.

This is a picture of the light in the stairway from the first stair.

It's pretty cool!

Well, I better get back to work!!

Lots more to do!

Let me know what you think.
