Granite Update

My PM came to the rescue. He sent the granite company that installed the kitchen out to look at my granite. They removed the stain and resealed it!

Since they were out, I had them do the first floor bath. I also switched out the sink for a square one. LOVE IT!!

Fixtures will get installed this weekend. I will post a finished picture after it's done!

Granite

I know...it's been a long time. I have a bone to pick. I knew we had to seal the tile in the bathrooms but was never told to seal the granite in the bathroom. My granite has oil stains and that shouldn't happen if it was properly sealed. I'm hoping that I can get the stains out. I just ordered a product and will let you know. Glad I only had Ryan install granite in one bathroom.

I will have Metro Stone & Granite (company that installed kitchen granite) put Santa Cecelia in the first floor bathroom. I like the thickness of the kitchen granite vs. the bathroom granite. It's lower on the priority list but will definitely be done.

Happy Building and Decorating!!

Has anyone figured out how to keep these ANNOYING anonymous jerks from writing on the blogs? I would hate to put the encryption code feature on.

A Few Pics

I know you guys have been asking for a few pictures. Of course, things are coming along slowly. I am enjoying the house and the neighborhood. My daughter loves the pool! Here are a few pictures

Existing Dining room table with new light fixture. I know...I need wall art!!
You can't really tell from the picture but Vaguely Mauve is on the walls in here.

New informal table for morning room (sorry the picture is dark)
Undecided on window treatments for this room

Pictures are from old house...You can see the SW Dhurrie Beige color that I LOVE. It's throughout the main areas.

The princess loves her room (and the colors).

I am still waiting on her chandelier from Pottery Barn. It won't be available for another MONTH :-(.

She found this at Garden Ridge this weekend. I had to get it for her! It's so hard to say NO to that child.

And the winner is....

I finally went through my mail today. My first and future payments will go to....drumroll.....WELLS FARGO!! Yay! I'm glad about that since I bank with them. I get special deals when I have a mortgage with them too. They KNOW ME!!

Sorry about being MIA on the blog scene. I switched to a new role and things have been CRAZY!! Hopefully things will become a little more normal soon. I need a VACATION! I need to regroup and decompress. It's been too much with work, moving, unpacking, shopping, life!!!

Happy Building and Decorating!

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!!
