New House

I've been busy, busy planning every little detail of our new house. It's fun, but very time consuming....I have SO much more to do!

On Wednesday I visited with our cabinetry maker. He was gracious enough to show Devon the work area and big machinery. Devon thought it was so cool! He even made off with some wood and a cool hat!









This decision process is overwhelming to say the least. I really like so many things! I don't have an exact style so I've just been pulling pics out of magazines and off the internet to help solidify my choices.

Here is my "inspiration" kitchen. White glazed cabinets, dark tumbled marble back splash, dark granite counter-top and wood floors. (And I love this light fixture!)



















This is my Granite slab. Pretty, huh?










My big decision now is whether to go with painted baseboards and doors or stained baseboards/doors? The wood floor will extend thru the entry, living room and kitchen. I had such a bad experience with painted baseboards (so hard to clean) in my last house, but the painted look is so much more economical! Uhggg... I need help!??

Very pretty!

Our house isn't very custom. I mean I did pick a lot of it but I had to choose from a book which made it easy. We will go back and redo floors (we have carpet but want wood), and stuff like that later on. Nick can do anything. :) We have white base boards, I honestly have not seen stained baseboards since I left Oklahoma, I was a bit surprised to hear that people still use them. Actually there are lots of things that people do in Oklahoma that we don't do hear in Florida. It's kind of funny.

My baseboards match the cabinets. it ties the whole kitchen together. Same with the crown molding.
