Recent House Decisions

The cabinet man sent me a picture of a recent job he did with the style and color cabinets I want. I LOVE them! Mine won't have the white sections.
                                             
 Since I was only given 30 minutes notice before meeting the cabinet man, I wasn't fully prepared. I showed him pictures of the outside, but forgot the special drawers and pullouts I wanted.
My bathroom drawer.
Dad will put a plug inside it so I can leave
the curling iron and hair dryer plugged up.
No more unplugging something to plug another thing up!
The pantry will look something like the picture on the right and I will have a pullout spice rack like the picture on the left. All the other kitchen drawers will be pullout too. I will have two lazy susans in the corners.

I also had to make a decision on the exterior colors so we could pick out a roof color. The wood columns will be stained the darkest color on this sample strip.
The cement siding will be medium gray. These are the gray paint samples I picked up from Home Depot. The stone will have both gray and bronze colors Incorporated. My windows will be bronze as well as the metal roof and gutter.

Yesterday I went shopping in the granite graveyard. My dad's granite man keeps all his scrap outside behind his shop. We walked around looking for pieces that were a little over five feet for the guest bath and a little over seven feet for the master. There wasn't enough of anything for the kitchen so I will have to go pick out a slab.
I found this for the guest bath.
This is for the master bath.

And this will be what I use in the kitchen.
As soon as they get the roof on, the heating and air guys can do what they do and we can start the sheetrock!

Can't Wait to Finally Have a Garage!

This morning it was 28 degrees outside! I warmed my car up for 20 minutes and all the frost still wasn't off the windows. I can't wait til next winter when I will have a garage to park in. Not only for winter months but all months truly. In the fall I always get acorns and leaves stuck in my window. In the summer my car is always covered in bird poop and hot and in spring it's covered in pollen. Just one of the reasons I'm so excited about building a house. Having garage to park in!

A Sunday Swim

Sunday afternoon we decided to take a drive. When it was time for the dogs to get in their pen, Hatfield refused. He just stood at the car door. He wanted to go to. So we loaded them up and headed out. Our drive took us to a small lake about 20 minutes always. I didn't even know it existed. Anyways, we let the dogs swim. They loved it! Watch Lilly leap like a dolphin. Hilarious! Or at least it is to us.

Recreation of London Beef and Mushroom Pie

While in London I ate this wonderful beef and mushroom pie! I wanted to recreate it and use some of the deer steak in our freezer. I found this recipe . Of course like most recipes I tweaked it a little. I added green peas and left out the celery. I also used pie crust instead of puffed pastry. I made individual ones in these cute Corningware dishes. They were delicious!
