A few more pictures

actual dining room

nook on left dining room wall.
We will be putting in a shelf at desk height and a few more above for a little kitchen work space.

another picture of the finished living room.
Still trying to figure out whether the couch should go on the west (back) wall or the south (left) wall.

Dining Room Design



I've been thinking about the dining room lately. I didn't have many plans for it, but the other day I had the strange idea to paint the west wall yellow. Yeah, yellow. Not really my thing, but it leads out to the side yard and yellow just seemed to make sense as the entrance to the outdoors.

My mom has also been asking me about my colors. Mom, you can see my design board for the living room by clicking here. And below is a rough idea for the look of the dining room. Its really just an idea at this point. Not sure if I will have the guts/desire to paint it yellow, but its fun to think I can if I want.


The image below kind of mirrors the inspiration for this dining room scheme.
This is a Garbett home. Andre and I love this builder and their interior designers do a lot of work that is right up our ally.

Finished!

It's done! Our first official walkthrough before closing is tomorrow and then if we get really lucky all of our paperwork will suffice and we will close on Friday. I can't wait to have all of our things in and arrange and decorate! Here are the pictures I took today of the final product. You can see the appliances (minus fridge-we have to buy one), the carpet and just some minor finishes. I still can't believe its actually done. There is nothing to go check out anymore.




Above, the closet doors in our bedroom. Not sure why I put in this picture, but we have closet doors!


My beloved tile around the fireplace. Not in love with an oak mantel but i think it actually looks pretty good. I am really tempted to paint it white though.

And they painted our garage and the front door and put on all the new hardware.

Next up will be pics of after we move in, stay tuned!
