hi beauties! Its been a busy few weeks at the future Bentley home! :) After a very rainy period, we are finally under roof (and shingled!) and things have been rolling since then. If you didn't see my last post with earlier progress pics and a few unfortunate setbacks, be sure to catch up  HERE . We are currently in the insulation/ drywall process as we near the end of August. I cant believe how fast the months are flying by! Can't wait to be in our new home in October, eek! :D Here are some updated progress photos for you all...  8.8 Under roof! windows & doors are in,  waiting on shingling French doors off the breakfast nook (upgrade) Half Moon Window in the Kitchen (upgrade) Living Room Kitchen Guest Bedroom/ Future Filming Room! :D Guest Bedroom Guest Bathroom Laundry Room (converted from 4th bedroom, upgrade) Master Bedroom Master Closet Master Shower (upgr...

hello   beauties . Phew! It sure has been a busy month thus far! The last time I updated on our home build, we had just had our foundation poured and back filled. Fast forward a couple of weeks, and our house is finally starting to look more like, well.. a house! ;)  Despite a less than stellar daily weather forecast for the past 2 weeks, Southern Maryland managed to stay "fairly" dry until we were under roof. [Well, expect for that one whole day and night that it positively down poured, shortly after our second floor was framed. David and I spent a few hours after that event sweeping all of the standing water off of our subflooring :/ lol fun times!]  But alas, the sun came out just in time for roofing to begin, and JUST before another pretty terrible thunderstorm.. Hallelujah!  Hopefully now that we are under roof, and windows and doors are installed, we wont have to rely so heavily on good weather for things to keep moving with the construction...

 ❤   ♥   HI Beauties  ♥  ❤ Hope all of you have been well, I apologize for the lack of house updates! The weather here in Maryland has been less than ideal for the past couple of weeks, and things have been messy and slow going over at our homesite. Needless to say, we've all been a little stressed with the situation. The countdown to our closing date is on now! This weekend will mark exactly 2 months until the big day, and unfortunately I don't think we will be moving in on time at this point :( On a lighter note, I still have lots of exciting interior features to share with you beauties! Today I wanted to show you our flooring choices for our new home. I've only seen most of these finishes and colors in sample sizes at the design center thus far, so I'm really excited to see how they come together in the house! Just for reference, the hardwoods, thicker carpet padding and aruba tile in the master bath were all upgrades. Vinyl and carpeting were standa...
