I finally have a moment on my husband's computer to share updates on the new house. The outside is now pretty much done except for doors and finishing stuff.
Here is the kitchen. The island is in the wrong place... needs to be moved to the right a bit, and the cabinets are quite a bit grayer in person. The counter tops are going to be a really simple dark gray granite, and I am envisioning white subway tiles as a backsplash, and white walls. Red is the accent color...a bright glossy red for my bar stools. I made a chandalier ( how do you spell that?) to go over the dining room table, pictures to come.
Dax loves watching his new house be built and sometimes he thinks that it is falling apart if there is a lot of crap on the ground. We are standing in the family room. Do you love the tiny base boards that we are going to tear out as soon as we can and re-do them ourselves? Richmond American wanted to charge a butt load to put in the stuff that I really wanted. Forget that. I have a really handy general contractor father-in-law.
Oh Dax... you are so cute, and I love you soooooo much! I love watching your excitment. He has started noticing girls, but most of the girls that he notices have dark hair. Like the girl at his old preschool that he more than once came home from school talking about. "Mom, that girl is really cute", is what he would say. I hope that he always tells me things like that, you know, and not be embarassed. Brad asked him the other day who his best friend was and he said,"Miley Cyrus, cause she is really cute, dad." I am in trouble...

It is exciting to see your house progressing. But, then again once it is done you guys will move out. I love having the whole family under one roof. Even Caleb bunks here most of the time instead of his apartment. Daxon and Shane are so cute, they make me smile every day.
The house looks great. Can't wait to see it in person next week. Yes, you are in trouble if Dax is already noticing girls. He must like dark haired girls because his mom is so beautiful!!
CHANEL. I love your blog, I check it as much as possible. Your house looks beautiful already, I bet your so excited to decorate the crap out of it. A nice clean slate to do whatever you want to, you are so creative I know it will look amazing. The boys are so adorable, I have to see them soon. They are growing up so fast... and yes you are in trouble with dax. he is such a spit fire. miss you all. tell everyone I say HI
So when should I come up to help paint and decorate?
Love you, miss you!
I was thinking exactly what Kesli said. Dax is attracted to dark haired girls because of his mommy being so pretty. I am excited for you and the progress on your house! I am looking forward to seeing the picture of the chandelier you made. You are sweet to ask how I am doing. I am actually doing much better now that Chad's work has slowed a bit. Though, I still want and need to have some sort of girl's outing.
I am so jealous of your beautiful house!!!! I bet you guys cannot wait to get in there! I was dying at Daxon's comments about girls. You've got a little womanizer on your hands. And he's cute, so you're in trouble. I bet your loving being around family. Tell your Mom we miss them!
House looks great! But how the hell do you make a chandelier???
Your house is gorgeous! Oh I wish I loved the exteriour of our new one. They do some ugly colors out here. I LOVE love love yours. Your kitchen looks a lot like ours-- the set up. I want to see more!
