Hi everyone! A few weeks ago, after a stressful week of negotiations, our offer was accepted and we began the process of buying our first home. We are starting this blog to update everyone on the status of our new house, which is under construction and should be finished in a few months. We are incredibly excited to see our house get finished and to move in (after the wedding). When we bought the house, it was framed out with the siding on, but there are still so many decisions still to make.
Last week, we met with the cabinet company to talk about the design of the kitchen and other cabinets in the house. Jamie thought it was very important to have adequate wine storage, so we replaced the built-in desk with a lower cabinet and upper wine rack.
This morning we met with the electrician. We walked through the house with him and decided to upgrade a few things: under cabinet lighting and a ceiling fan in the master bedroom. Matt also added wiring in the theater (bonus) for a projector so we can watch movies on the big screen (someday). We wish we could afford air conditioning but that is not in the budget right now!
Next up: meetings with low voltage and interior design. Stay tuned...
Here are some pictures of what the house will look like and the layout. Our model is flipped from what the diagram and pictures show.
