03/27/11 - Walls finished, Cabinets In, and Trim Completed

Yet another week goes by and tons more progress.  Since my last update the builders have completed the walls and they are now painted, the trim is finished, most of the doors are hung, the tile is all grouted and our cabinets have been installed.  Today we spoke to our sales lady, Liz, and she told us that they think they will be done with the house by April 15th....that's only 2 weeks away!  They also have decided that they really want us to close on our house in the month of April to make their books look better, so if we should decide to close in April, they will pay our last month of rent for our apartment.  Why would we pass that up!?!?  So, the plan is that we are going to close on our house on April 29th.  This will give us a full month to do any additional painting that we would like, and also move all of our belonging from our apartment to the house.

This is a picture from the front door, of the staircase that goes to the second level.  The door you can see leads to the basement.

Here are a few pictures of the kitchen and our cabinets...

This is in our kitchen, in the island.  The sink and and the dishwasher will be in our kitchen island.

This is a picture standing in our living room, looking towards the front door.

This is our dining room.

A picture of our living room.  Fireplace tile has been completed, and the door to the study has been hung.  I love the glass pane in the study door!

So, I went shopping today and bought this 8x10 rug to go in the living room.  Love it!

 This is the railing on the second floor that looks down to the front door on the first level.  The doors to the left and right are the extra bedrooms.

2nd floor - Hallway to our master bedroom.  The arched door on the left is the bonus room, and the door on the right is the laundry room.

2nd floor - Master bathroom.  Floors completed and cabinets installed.

And below are a couple more purchases I made today.  I bought 2 of these chairs for the formal living room.  It looks grey in this picture, but they are chocolate brown.

 

 And this is the table that I bought to go with the chairs in the formal living room.  Furniture bought for one more room....meaning...one more room that won't be bare when we move in!  :-)

Off to bed....if they are really going to have this house done in just 2 weeks....there should be only a few more updates!  Liz told us today that the next steps will be installing the counter tops and also the tile around the showers and bath tubs.  She also said that the carpet install will be about the last item on the list.
