Day 16 - Framing!!! YAY!!

Sorry for the SUPER long break in the blog, but we were in Hawaii :) It was a wonderful vacation and we had AMAZING friends send us pictures and updates, but keeping up on a daily basis while we were gone was impossible. And that's okay!! It was super fun to go out to the house today and see all of the progress!!!

Front of the house - garage and double front door :) They are still missing some of the front where the stairs will go!

This is in our basement - I took the picture because we decided to do a box tray ceiling in the basement to open it up even more :) In our current home, our basement isn't used a ton by us, so we wanted to make sure that this space was the best it could possibly be!

Looking into the basement family room from the walkout door.

Our foyer - stairs will be to the left. 

Looking ahead into our family room - we have a lot of windows in the back of the house to help us enjoy (what we hope will be) our backyard oasis ;)

Powder room on the main level, off the foyer

Looking at our kitchen and into our mudroom. As I was explaining to one of my girlfriends tonight, when we designed this floor plan, we really emphasized the open concept. The kitchen is open to the family room and dining room with only a small wall distinguishing the foyer from the rest of the house. 

The family room - and if you look closely, you can see the fireplace framed in!! 

Mudroom - it is very spacious - I am super excited about having more room in this area than we do in our current house!

Looking out into the garage. 

Basement family room. 

Exercise room in the basement. 

Basement bedroom :) Love the large window looking out!

We will try to utilize the space under the stairs as storage!

Storage and utility room.

 Overall, lots and lots of stuff was done over the past week and a half and it was SO FUN to come and see the progress!!

Also, my dining room chandelier arrived!! I am super excited about it because it is made out of capiz shells, so it will reflect the natural light beautifully in our dining room! (This is just a picture of it off the West Elm website, but I am loving it!!)

We will be better about going out there more frequently for the rest of the month!! We are staying pretty local as we close on our current house in two weeks!! YAY!!
