hi beauties. Things at the house are slow moving while drywall is being done, so I decided to share a special kitchen post instead.  In terms of importance, I put the kitchen right near the top of the list. To me, the kitchen is the heart of the home, a gathering place. So my husband and I decided it was a part of the house that we were willing to add a few upgrades to. Our builders offer a few different kitchen designs (standard, deluxe, grand and gourmet). We went with the Grand Kitchen option, as it was a nice middle ground with our desired features. I will share all of the options that come with the Grand Kitchen package below. We also decided to upgrade our granite one level, our faucet, stove top, and our cabinetry from oak to maple. My husband and I also added a 2 foot extension onto the back of the house, which allowed us to have a larger island, and a small coffee nook area with extra cabinetry. As mentioned in a previous post, we opted to convert our 4th bedroom u...

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...
