Day 28-30 - Countertops, Basement Progress

We had a super busy week in the house department, but I was out of town with the boys for quite a few days so I wasn't able to get a ton of pictures done!! Also, the progress is now consisting of HVAC, plumbing, etc., so the changes can be seen, but they aren't as exciting for me ;)

I went home to my parents to get our final countertop choices picked out! Our kitchen will be quartz - its called Calacatta Classique. It is a white base with deep gray veining throughout. I am absolutely OBSESSED with it!! It will be so bright and clean in our kitchen!!

This is the master bath quartz.

This is our powder room - and it is marble. I am super excited about it!! So many people had comments about using marble in our home, but I REALLY wanted it somewhere - so the powder room seemed like the natural choice! 


This will be the quartz used in the boy's bathroom and on the bar. It is hard to see in the picture, but it has some light gray veining throughout. I really like how subtle it is!


This might be one of my favorite pieces - it is for the guest bathroom. I am in LOVE with the gray and white!!!


This is the quartz for our laundry room. 


I ended up having to make some changes in the stone that I originally picked, because some of my design styles changed, but I am glad that my parents are great friends with the owners of the company -they were SO kind and accommodating to us!!

We are doing in-floor heat in the basement, so that was laid last week! I am hoping that means they are going to pour the concrete down there soon!! YAY!!!


Our fireplace was also installed! I am VERY excited about the design I did for our fireplace. It is going to be a white surround with a barn-beam mantle and I am (hoping) a gold marble tile. It is going to come together so beautifully!!


Our builder said that we will have our electrical walk-through in the next week or two - after that, it will be insulation and sheetrocking the walls. In about a month, our siding will hopefully be in and at the end of August, it will be cabinet install time!! AHH!! It is going quickly, but I wish I could snap my fingers and be moving in! It is so fun to see everything come together!

Day 20 - Countertops & Blinds

My pictures aren't super exciting today as they don't show a lot of change/progress. There WAS a lot of progress done today, but unfortunately, it was on the upper level of the house and I can't get up there yet :( I am hoping they build some stairs soon!!!

I am struggling SO MUCH with the countertops to put in our home. I am absolutely obsessed with marble, but everyone has told me how difficult it is to care for! So, I am trying to be strategic about where I use it! This piece was sent to be by our countertop company and it will be used our powder room. I am so excited for it!!


The rest of our house will most likely be MSI Calacatta Quartz and Alaska White granite (for the laundry room). Trying to be keep it clean and neutral with our color schemes!


Like I said, not a lot has changed from the front...

But they got the side wall up! And you can see how amazing the windows are going to look!! I love them!


It is all coming together nicely :) I can't wait for the stairs to be done so that I can get upstairs and see the progress! Hopefully that and the roof will be done this week!! 

My question for today is: what window treatments are you currently loving? I am thinking roman shades for most bedrooms, beyond that I am struggling!!
