Midweek Visit :-) & Weekly Construction Update

Today's visit was awesome! It was awesome primarily because of two things. One, the tile in the foyer has finally been uncovered and they are gorgeous. Two, the carpet has been installed!!!  I have wanted patterned carpet for such a long time. It is the little things like this that make me feel so appreciative and blessed. I love the carpet. Period. Yes, it contributes even more of the the color BEIGE to the house (don't act like you hadn't noticed) but I do not plan on having so much BEIGE forever. I have to pace my changes for budget reasons to be honest. I plan on staying here for at least 15 years and I think that is enough time to add color.

Love the marble

Also, hardware has been installed - meaning towel bars, toilet paper holders, towel rings, door stoppers and door handles. Everything looks great.

This time I came to the house prepared. In tow I had blue painter's tape, which we were told to use to mark things we notice that need to be addressed, and my bug spray! I don't have time for finding spiders in random places once I move in. Call me crazy, but if I get it taken care of now, I will have less surprises later. I didn't have enough energy to spray both upstairs and downstairs so I just sprayed the perimeter downstairs.

I used the tape the mark several things we'd noticed over the weekend and some new things I noticed as well.

Here are more pics taken today.

Here is the area I mentioned before where there would have been 3 types of flooring - wood (covered), marble, and carpet (shown). The carpet will be removed and replaced with marble.

    From home construction to this --- it's definitely shaping up good! It's good to to know that you successfully overcame the stressful process of home construction, and is now getting closer to finishing your house. It's a huge relief for you and your family. I just hope it will continue to go well until you finish it all. I'm looking forward to seeing the final result. Elidia @ DaviesConstruction.com.au

    What color and style carpet did you choose? Looks like Shaw Padova but what was the color? Mushroom? Dune?

      I will take a look at my designer center selections sheet and let you know! For some reason I can't recall the color right now.

      Hello J Solano! Yes, the carpet was an upgrade but I feel it is well worth it. I love the patterned carpet and it makes the home feel more custom. I believe we upgraded the carpet padding as well.

      Thanks for looking at the blog and have fun at the design center!
