We had our "trim walkthrough" today and we were happy to see the choices we made are all coming together... here's a few highlights:
The light fixture over the dining area -- I wasn't sure when we picked it, but I like it...
The guest bath ... looks like 3-1 odds that Shannon may be the first to enjoy this extra space!
The kitchen ... not all the appliances are in yet and it's likely this will be a different wall color once we decide what to paint it, but we really like the black and white contrast here.
The entry hall (that is the front door -- a temporary one while they paint the real one) -- looks a bit institutional, we definitely need some color here and I think these walls are a good candidate for a gallery of photos.
The stoop! Work begins Monday on the patio....
As reported in the previous post, pickings were slim at the pumpkin patch today -- but it was still a lovely day nonetheless... let's ask Gavin how it went from his perspective...
"I've got my own ideas about the safest way to ride in a wagon -- I like the body-surfing approach... "
"Hey Mommy, this is how it's done..."
"Come on! This way to the pumpkins..."
"But first, a quick check to see how fast I'm growing..."
"Hmmm, where are all the pumpkins? I'm about ready to give up... "
"Here's one! Wait, this is too big. I think it's time to look elsewhere..."
Where the over picked pumpkin patch fails, our local Brennan's Market comes through (plus it was a great place to pick up some supplies for our last meal at home -- some yummy salmon -- before we packed up the kitchen tonight). We'll post a picture of Gavin's pumpkin on our new front porch later this week : )
We've jokingly been calling our new house "The Terrace," (because the street has that word in it), but here's the real "Terrace." Can't wait to enjoy it with all of you!
