Furniture

We sold our old bedroom set and just purchased the Broyhill set that I love. Hubby put it together Saturday (only the bed had to be assembled).




I have searched at several stores for a quality dining room table for the morning room. I have not found one that I like that is the right size and color. Therefore, I am left with no choice but to have one custom built to the size that i desire and stained the color that I so choose. I have priced it at one store. My manager just told me about another store where all the furniture is made by the Amish. They will also make custom pieces as well. I want SOLID WOOD ( no veneers)! I will make my decision after I visit this last store (tired of looking at this point). Either way, it will take 6-8 weeks for them to make it. I'll keep you posted.



10 days in

The boxes have cleared enough that the space is becoming livable. I hate that I wasn't able to take a week off to get everything together.

I have never lined so many shelves before in my life. I have been back and forth to the Container Store for my organizational needs (Of course, you want everything organized in your new home).

We still have the hard woods covered until we are done moving all the big stuff.

Here is what we've done thus far:
-main areas painted (which I LOVE the color), daughter's bedroom and laundry room
-ceiling fans put up in living room and master
-chandelier for formal dining room changed out
-blinds are all installed
-pink chandelier ordered for daughter bedroom (patiently awaiting the arrival since its on back order until July)

To do....a whole lot!!

Laundry Room

Here is a pic of the laundry room I painted on Sunday. The color is SW Watery. I love the brightness. It kind of makes me want to go in the room and do some laundry.

Busy

As you can imagine things have been very busy since Friday. We are trying to get use to everything (it's so many light switches).

Here is the breakdown:
-the POD is unloaded except for the armoire and formal dining room table. It is NOT unpacked
-I painted the laundry room SW Watery and love it. Pics will come soon.
-Blinds are getting installed today in the rooms that are not getting painted
-The painter is painting the main areas for the next few days
-Cable get installed tomorrow

I received the signed CO this morning as well. We are all set!

Closed

We closed this morning! It took about an hour. The only problem we ran into was that the CO was approved but not signed yet. In this county only one person has the authority to sign. He was on vacation.

NVR had to get an exception to allow us to close. Delaying close to Monday was not an option for me. Luckily, they handled all of that prior to us arriving (getting approval to close and confirmation the CO was approved by the county). The CO will get signed Monday morning.

A Few Pictures

Inspection

My inspection went very well!! The Only issue found was that the AC unit was not
getting cold enough. They were working on that already. The only other thing is that we need a valve on the gas line on the back porch. That was it!

The house was cleaned yesterday. It went through the external quality check and received a 98.6%. That's pretty good!!

Everything is coming together!
