We are nearing the end of construction. At some point I’ll do an in-depth review. For now, a glimpse of some details.
Pictured at top is the beautiful water feature Doug has been working on. Though not quite finished, it is lovely and I can hear it from our room–really the perfect way to wake up on a warm May morning.
Another nice thing to wake up to: the skylight right above the bed. The first morning in our new space, I pried my eyes open and looked up to see a little bird peeking over the side.
It took a while to choose paint (with lots of helpful input from sister Joani and Standard Paint), but I’m really happy with what we ended up with. In the bedroom, we chose Benjamin Moore Gray for the wainscoting and White Dove for the rest of the walls and trim:
And in the bathroom, Benjamin Moore Silver Half Dollar with stone trim:
Doug and I made a successful trip to TJ Maxx–finding a pair of glass lamps:
And two Cynthia Rowley chairs. Doug named their function: perfect for sitting in while putting on socks. Indeed.
Much of the house is still a disaster, but we have great hopes of getting things better organized over the weekend.
First priority: Wash the dogs.
They have been reveling in sawdust and the sand from Doug’s patio installation for the last month. And they’ve loved every minute.
I can’t wait to see it all put together. I love the details so far! Gorgeous.
Oh, and the fact you have space in your new bedroom for chairs…awesome!
I know–isn’t that amazing? We could barely walk through the room before
.
I went back to buy the chair (grey print) that you have in your bedroom and they were gone. It was at T J Maxx and Marshalls. Will they get more in? Somebody bought all of them for their dining room. It was perfect for my bathroom vanity. I have been looking all over online.
