After four months of planning, seven months of construction, two snowmageddon winter storms, dozens of selections, thousands of man hours, and one patient husband, the house is finished!
It has been an incredible journey. Not only did I learn about the construction process, but I also had the great opportunity of discovering more about how we want to live and the surroundings in which we want to continue to grow as a family. We are all very happy with the outcome. Although it is taking some time to get used to it, the scale of the house is good. There is plenty of both living space and storage space. The girls love their bedrooms. The husband is thrilled. Yes, he loves the house, but the real plus for him is the new flat screen TVs!
The new television fits right into the family room cabinetry, with an extension arm that allows us to move and tilt the screen as needed
The study features wonderful built-ins, with ample space to work and shelves for our many books
The house has great flow between the spaces
The master bath is wonderful -- a great space to get ready for the day -- once I can make myself leave this beautiful shower!
