Oh how come the weekend just seems to fly by and I feel like nothing has gotten done! I have no reason to live by a Monday thru Friday sort of schedule... I work from home and the hubs is home 3-4 days a week. But for some reason I look at what I have not done on Sunday and tell myself next week!
I will say that the hubs did put things into boxes last week... and the packing has begun! I hope I can keep his momentum! Less than 30 days till we have to be out of here!
The new house is coming along so quickly! It has not quite hit me that we will have a finished house and it will just be sitting there... all I can focus on is saving the $ while we can! We added a few extra things that were not offered as upgrades.. and the hubs has just gone and done the work himself on the weekends {with the project managers approval}. We insulated the garage since it is west facing and I spend so much time in there doing projects. We also insulated the wall between the master bedroom and the family room. That will be the TV wall in the family room and it will back up to our headboard. We also ran extra electrical to have 3 carriage lights on all sides of the garage. One is standard and it just seems off to me.
Inside we have drywall! It is really feeling like a house now! This is the view from the front entry way. I am so excited to have an entry way!
Formal living and dining spaces. I know that people say they are wasted space, but I actually use mine! I love the it is one big room!
Great room and kitchen. Love the light in here! We should be called to select our granite slab soon!
Did you all have a good weekend?

I feel the same this Monday morning. Got a few things done, but not my entire list!! New fresh space to design ... how lucky!! And fantastic your husband is so handy!!
Tiffany, it is so excited to go through each and every step of a new home. I love the floor plan and we will love the open kitchen. I sold new construction for a builder for years and enjoyed every moment of the process. I was as excited at the buyers watching the process!
YAY! It's getting so close. Once they get the drywall up, I would think it will really start coming together with all the fun interior stuff.
Tiffany it is beautiful! So much light, I love it. I know you can't wait to get in there and work your magic. :)
wow! so exciting...you're almost there!!!
Wow, you must be so excited, Tiffany! I'm excited for you :-) Good for you for doing the extras now - you'll be glad you did, is my guess! And your point about not living by a M-F schedule, the weekend flying by, etc. makes so much sense - I never thought about it the way you put it, but as soon as I read that, I realized I do the very same thing. My hubs is self-employed, so he's in and out, and home a lot, too. Funny how ingrained a calendar kind of life can be. And... I had an awesome weekend! Now it's Monday, and I feel like the weekend has flown by ;-)
Exciting and frustrating I bet....why can't time go faster? It will be the holidays soon, and you will be inside your home all unpacked...right down to the last spray paint can.
Wow!! It seems to be going ahead fast from an outsiders view too!! It'll all come together and I bet you've got the majority of it decorated in your head already?!
This is so exciting! I love your journey into a new home.
It is so hard waiting!
